Typical time for something like this to happen, approximately every 5
minutes a get a bF error and the internal alarm is going off. I gather
this is a battery fault in the control panel.
Is there anything I can do about it now to stop the internal alarm
going off, or to fix it entirely ( I assume an engineer code is
required to replace the battery ?)

Thanks
Colin

I am assuming that it is NOT a monitored alarm system

Putting the panel into engineers mode will stop the Battery alarm from
sounding. (if you know what it is)

You shouldnt need an engineer code to change the battery, Customer
mastercode should suffice.

Thanks, no it is not monitored, but unfortunately I do not have the
engineer code and the company that last serviced it are no longer
around......

How do I change the battery ?

Thanks

You will need to open the main box, probably in the airing cupboard or
somewhere similar. You will trigger the tamper but you will be able to stop
sounders with your code. Replace battery and reset system. I would advise a
7Ah battery, it may be bigger than the one you have at the moment but it
will last longer in the case of power failure

Everything as Paul Says

Just be careful that the battery is clear of the lid screwholes when
re-fitting.
