HKC Quantum 70 alarm battery

Frasier

Hi guys

Any idea on changing battery on a HKC Quantum 70 alarm. Is it a case of unscrewing the panel?

Thanks

What message is the system giving you?

It may be a low battery in a detector or a sounder, so might not necessarily be the panel.

Frasier

Thanks Kub

Not sure as it's my parents. I will call and check.

KoolKid

It could also be a device showing low battery. How long has the system been installed?

Hi

It's in a few years. It's the control panel battery. I had the electricity off today and ready to remove cover but cannot see screws or clips. Any ideas

Thanks for replies by the way guys

On the key part there is two white(left side) tabs that are covering the acrewsscrews, slide the tabs off to reveal them

Hello KoolKid

I have the same panel and issue, would you mind sending me the manual too?

Lost

KoolKid

PMed you the manual.

Frasier

Back again!!

I changed the battery but still saying battery needs to be changed. Any ideas.

In the manual there is a programming menu which includes replace battery pack. Do I need to "tell" the system that I changed the battery?

Yes. You need to enter the battery menu and reset the battery timer. It's set to three years as HKC can't guarantee that it will sufficiently power the system when it reaches that age.

KoolKid

Goto replace battery pack & press YES.
This resets the timer for 5 years.
See manual 13-138

Our system was installed in June 2014. It seems a short time to need a replacement control panel battery. Are you saying that the message is coming just because it was set to do so by a timer, and not because the battery actually has a problem?

KoolKid

The timer is 5 years. If its only installed in 2014 it certainly shouldn't need replacing already.

Since 2012 I will have a look thanks.

KoolKid

I would be expecting a bit longer from a panel battery.

Timer is set at 3 years for the battery.
Even if you replace the battery you will need to reset the timer in the battery menu.

An earlier poster says that HKC can't guarantee the battery after 3 years is this not the case.

Yes. After 3 years there's no gaureentee the battery will run the system for 12 hours. You can simply reset the timer but it's recommended to replace the pack if you want to keep the system in top condition.
