HKC Quantum 70 alarm battery

KoolKid · 01-06-2016 4:39pm

Voltage test, charge test, load test, temp test amoung others.
All very standard stuff, I'm surprised you need to ask.

altor · 01-06-2016 4:43pm

Not for us, for an end user.

KoolKid · 01-06-2016 5:19pm

Happy to help you and them.

Hi, Could i get the engineers manual? We've a hkc panel that is flashing warning lights after a blown fuse last week. Alarm appears to be setting fine, but would like to clear the alerts.

Thanks

Which panel is it? Is the voice on the keypad male or female?

I have PMed you the quantum manual.
If it's a different panel let me know.

Encrypted Pigeon · 01-06-2016 5:55pm

Hey, sorry to do this as well, any chance I could get a copy of a manual for the quantum 70 please?

KoolKid · 01-06-2016 7:37pm

No need to apologise.
I have PMed you that.
If you need any help give me a shout.

It doesn't say on the actual interface. The one box I have says sw10-70 on it. We had the thing installed by a charlatan who told us he was registered but I subsequently couldn't find him on the register - so the details I have are sketchy

KoolKid · 01-06-2016 7:59pm

Ahh we all live & learn...
I PMed you the 1070 Manual.

He could be registered as a sole trader so he'll be listed as "Joe Bloggs Trading as Bell security" for example.

KoolKid · 01-06-2016 9:41pm

Did he issue you a cert?
His licence number & the certification body would be on that?

Joe Bloggs wishes he owned Bell Security / Nasquhia / Stanley.

no he did not. First I was alerted to the PSA and need to be registered was when I was reading my house insurance proposal form. He happened to be there when I received this, so I asked him quoting from the form whether he was registered and the work compliant with the relevant standard. He said that he was and it was.

So, he should have provided me with a cert and in all liklihood I need someone with a cert to review and certify the work?

KoolKid · 04-06-2016 12:07am

You should have been given a cert to say the installation conforms to EN50131-1.
If he is say he is licensed by the PSA and certified by a certification body he should have no problem issuing you with a cert.

We've asked for it and it seems to be always the next day

Try telling him you will ring the PSA on it.

FYI I got a replacement panel battery in National Electric Wholesale (new.ie) - cost €36 which is an impressive markup for what is essentially 8 AA batteries in a plastic wrapper with a wire sticking out.

Why didn't you save yourself all that money and make a pack up yourself with a few AA batteries?

Lenny · 24-06-2016 11:30am

Can someone send me the manual also please,
my panel is saying the control panel battery needs replacement.. its 3.5 years old,
€36 does seem a tad expensive for the battery pack alright! from reading the thread maybe should I just reset the battery, I assume that the system does test the battery and if it discovers it to be not up to the task does the system still tell you?
thanks

KoolKid · 24-06-2016 11:37am

PMed you that manual.
There is a battery timertimer on HKC systems. This triggers by time rather than the battery performance or condition.

loyatemu · 24-06-2016 1:57pm

on the other hand, rechargeable NiMh batteries have a limited lifespan if they're constantly on charge. €36 every 5 years is not too bad. I've replaced mine but unfortunately still have the message as I haven't been able to get hold of the installer (and the engineers code is not the default).

KoolKid · 24-06-2016 3:41pm

Everything has a life span but IMO a good battery should clear the alert.

Evolution1 · 24-06-2016 7:51pm

It's a shame that the alert has to be cleared via an engineer. It's a timer that has to be reset

From an end users point of view, all alarm systems do is check for the voltage on the battery.
Once it drops below 9V on the Quantum it will flag as a faulty internal battery.
As has been said above NiMh batteries have a limited lifespan once on constant charge.
The timer does not indicate performance or the life span of the back up battery in the system.

Hi KoolKid

i am getting low battery fault in my HTC Quantun 70, any chance you could pm me the engineers manual please

KoolKid · 29-08-2016 11:21pm

jeromec2 · 14-10-2016 12:57pm

hi KoolKid, could you please send me the manual also as I have the same problem.

jeromec2 · 17-10-2016 9:33am

Thanks KoolKid, much appreciated.

tim200786 · 04-01-2017 3:15pm

hello all

Koolkid would i be able to get a copy of that user manual as i have this very same battery issue. The system was installed in 2013 so most likely just the batteries need changing.

what is the specification of the the control panel battery? It appears to be just 6 AA batteries connected.

Thanks.

KoolKid · 04-01-2017 9:53pm

I PMed you that manual.
Might be just the battery timer needs to be reset. HKC systems now have a battery timer set to alert you after 3 years regardless of the state of the battery.

tim200786 · 04-01-2017 10:03pm

Thanks for that.
Maybe I'll give the timer reset a try first so!
Is the timer reset procedure in the manual?

KoolKid · 05-01-2017 10:36pm

Yep. Should be.

Hi KoolKid, just read this entire thread and you my friend are a legend! With the kiss assing done could you send me a copy of the manual too. I have the quantum 70 alarm also and I'm getting the "panel battery low" when I set/unset alarm...

Ciarbee · 07-02-2017 10:12pm

Anyone have any good links to websites selling the panel battery pack?

Hey Koolkid, could I get a copy of the manual too please? 2 1/2 years since it was installed so hoping it's just the 3 year warning, ta.

KoolKid · 28-02-2017 1:22pm

Have you had the system tested since it was installed?
Id also advise getting the latest software installed on your system as the older software requires engineer access to reset the back up battery timer.

Dardania · 06-03-2017 11:38am

Hi KoolKid could I trouble you for that manual too - also do you know if there's anyone around D14 or maybe Sandyford selling the battery?
