Hi seanwindle22,

It is true if you activate a zone e.g. a pir it will send you that many messages if you keep walking in front of it but changing the option 5-8-2 is something i would not advise. If you have it set up to send 1 message and someone does try to break in you will only get 1 message. If you are depending on the second text for say a pir to verify some one is in the premises then you wont get this message as you set it up to only receive 1 in 5-8-2. Option 7-5 is only the event you want to change that is reported to say phone 1 or phone 2. It has no bearing on the activations.

thanks altor
yes i thougt it kind of risky to change any of those setting so i left well alone. its better to be safe than sorry i think. thanks for the reply altor

They are set that way for a reason. Maybe you should enter a few numbers into the alarm and ring someone to check out the alarm if needs be. Might be the best way if you have alot of contact numbers in the alarm.

Your welcome. Yes that is correct, the setting is global for all the zones so changing it affects all zones.

got a battery fault on my secure watch alarm lastnight and my wife is worried the alarm will not be working ok - it arms ok and just need to know how to solve the battery fault issue??

There does seem to be a rather large battery in the pannel (not the number code pannel) - is that what i need to change and is that just a simple swap?

KoolKid

Yes you need to change the large battery in the control panel its self.
Its 12 volt dc rechargeable 3.2 or 7amp.
The alarm will be ok to use for a while if the message has only just shown up.
But obviousally change it sooner rather than later.

Open up the panel and insure the plugs are connected properly. if they are and you still are having problems you will need a 12v 7.2ah recharable battery, you can get it from any electrical distributer.
EDIT:you can arm it no problem but its proberly best to get it replaced..

cheers guys and i work beside kellihers elec so will just pop in there - cheers

Its very straightforward. Remember you should always turn of the mains supply to the panel before opening the lid.
Any problems give me a shout.

My parents have just got secure watch hkc alarm installed, they went to activate it today when they were going out, and it turns out that there is a sensor 'apart' that the alarm guy obviously forgot about. I was trying to clear the display - where it says open zone dining room etc.... but i cant do it.. also they got no manual with it. How do i clear the display ?
Thanks

KoolKid

Do you mean there is a sensor on the window which is disconnected?

grasshopper31

Yes, its on a patio door,

Hi grasshopper31,

You have two options either inhibit the zone by entering 0 code *(zone number) yes. Option 2 is a force arm 0 code ** yes.

altor

Here is a link for the manual HKC

KoolKid

You should really be looking at getting that up & running. A patio door is probably one of the mose vunerable areas in the house. Can you post up a pic of it & I'll see if I can advise on rewiring it.

grasshopper31

Thanks for replies, alarm guy is coming back on tues to fix sensor.

I would hope so, did he not test the alarm to make sure it worked after he installed it :eek:

grasshopper31

Im not sure as i wasnt there at the time, but i assumed he would have tested it.

Hi Altor.

I have an HKC 812 house alarm. During the night a beep was emmited from the RKP at the back door, on checking the log it displayed "001: Dev. ComFlt RKP" it also has the amber fault light on too. I then checked the RKP at the front door where I noticed no lights being emmitted, a strange 'interference' noise & the message "SWRKP FEB99 V1.4"
I can't find anything in the manual or on the web, your wisdom wold be very much appreciated.

Thanks in Advance

Rich.

Jnealon

Can you still use the keypad at the back door.
It could be a few things
1) The keypad at the front door has gone faulty
2)It could have a loose connection or cable fault
3)The software panel could have crashed, unlikely

If you have the engineers code you could remove the offending keypad from the system to see if that clears the fault.

SnowDust

Thanks J for the prompt response.

The RKP at the rear door is fully functioning, the alarm system itself is fully functioning, however, the amber light on the rear door RKP is permantely on. Once I enter my passcode the display it says ,comms fault - can not be reset - contact engineer'

I have tried several eng. codes to no avail (0000,1111,1234,4567).

The security company quoted me €65 +vat for callout then extra €€ for parts.

Hi Rich,

I have seen this happen for no reason. I would down power the alarm, wait 20 seconds, then power it back up. Sometimes clears the fault. Always be careful when working with electricity. If you turn off the mains, open the panel, then disconnect the battery. Leave for the 20 seconds. Reconnect the battery, enter your user code. close up panel then turn the mains back on.
If this does not work you, your looking at replacing the keypad.

Let us know how you get on.
