    So it’s a securewave model. I replaced the main battery with a 12v 7 amp battery, and still the rf low battery warning and beeping. Is there anything else I can try? I’m ready to get a hammer and take it out, we’re getting no sleep and getting an alarm company out to look at it is like looking for the grace of god. Please help if you can.

    FR low battery is a wireless device battery.

    Thank you, I’ll go see if I can find out how to change them. We’ve a couple of them on the doors and windows. Cheers

    A friend uses this site to bulk buy batteries, unfortunately it's not in dublin. https://eu.nkon.nl/10-stuks-duracell-cr123a.html?gclid=Cj0KCQjwocPnBRDFARIsAJJcf97NVN2j6e5zGVeNIMc8rjVhGOiU30lhsvEAxaYAIq8MWhFhLuSBoacaAvlbEALw_wcB

    Ok so I’ve changed the batteries now I got them in woodies. I’m still getting an error for low batteries, and now a comma fault too.

    How do I get the engineers code to see what’s wrong? The guy who installed it years ago in the busy was an electrician and fully qualified etc to install but has now returned full time to electrical work and won’t provide any further assistance. Cheers.

    Have you changed batteries in all RF devices. Is there wireless bells.
    Does your user code let you access the log?
    If the guy is no longer in the business its just bad form not giving you the engineer code.
    If he's changed the code you could try defaulting. Remove the mains power and disconnect the battery. Remove the factory link and power up. If the panel is not engineer locked you may have the option to default the codes only.

    Thanks a million, I changed all the batteries and it’s stopped beeping. I’m gonna have a go at the above to see if I can get the panel to default, hopefully I’ll find the factory link easily. Thanks for all your help

    Just following up on that, I ordered Duracell CR123 batteries from Nkon, but they only lasted a few months in the bell box rather than the years the previous ones had.
