Astec 63 Alarm

    Yesterday, I could see “61 Call engineer” along with “FAULT” and “BATTERY”. A good few years ago I replaced the 12V battery in the control box so I went to take the front panel off the control box to double check which battery I needed. I ended up with the external alarm sounding for 20 minutes at a time as I struggle with removing and replacing the front panel. The fuse light has dislodged/hanging and no idea exactly where it should be placed to sit properly when the panel is refitted, that’s an aside.

    I managed to replace the front panel and reinsert the fuse but it is a hack job and I need to get it to fit properly. I sourced the battery and when I returned to it last night there was no warning on my keypad. Decided I'd leave well enough alone. This morning the warning above was on the keypad.


    So do I try try follow the instructions, from Koolkid on this forum as I did years ago, to replace the 12V battery or might it be something else?

    Any tips re fitting the front panel are also welcome. Is there a way to stop the alarm sounding outside while I remove the mains power to the control panel?

    Thanks. I appreciate any time given to replying here.

    Does anyone know how to stop the external bell sounding while I remove the power to the control box when I'm replacing the battery?

    I do have an engineer code.
