My alarm bleeps every 5 minutes, the manual says it needs to be serviced does anyone know how to reset this? the model is Accenta G3

Accenta G3 does beep in this manner when the service timer is active... and can only be reset via the Engineer code.

A local alarm company would not charge a great deal to reset this if you ask them nicely! If you're in the Coventry area then give me a call. YELL.COM or SCOOT.COM or TOUCHLOCAL.COM my company name... The Alarm Guys and ask for Graham.

No such alarm as an Accentra is this a new model from ADE Mr B. Im only familiar with the Accenta

Some ADE Accentra do have a service timer fitted in the software but not many and it does cause a regular beep, I'm afraid changing the program in engineer mode will only sort this, you need an alarm engineer to attend
But just in case check smoke alarms even ones you forgot abaout and they might be in a cupboard, rape alarms in ladies handbags covered with the usual ladies items, carbon monoxide detectors, if you are convinced it is the alarm then a local engineer is needed,

With Acorn on this, really common problem with low batteries on smoke detectors.

Alarm panels DON'T bleep in the way you describe.

Bet you've got a battery operated smoke detector that is in need of a NEW battery
