I have just found out i have the
"Veritas R8 Plus - 8 zone blank end-station control panel c/w LED Remote Keypad ""
I am trying to reset it but can not find the spring which needs to be pressed three times.
I am using the instrusctions below to do this:
"I had the same problem as many people on here my viritas 8 would not reset after the mains power supply to my house failed. when the mains power was restored my alarm would not turn off with my normal code but would continue to sound for approx 15 mins then silence itself but the pirs would detect movement and Then off it went again ! after a few times of this recurring the alarm silenced itself but was still unusable and still would not accept any code.
But I fixed it and this is how!
1. First turn off the power supply to the alarm.
2. Remove the cover to the control panel
3. Remove the battery/ if required fit new if not just disconnect it !My system was around four years old and so I changed the back up battery (12v 2.1ah) from Maplin around £15 (you may get a lot cheaper but I was in a hurry).
4. Turn the power to the control panel back on.PLEASE REMEMBER TO USE CAUTION AS THIS IS NOW A LIVE ELECTRICAL UNIT.
5. press the spring switch at the top of the panel three times slowly it will beep each time and on the third press the alarm will sound,reconnect the battery.
6.on the key pad key in your normal code this will silence the alarm.
7 The Tamper light and maybe some zones leds will remain on reset using your normal code.The tamper light will stay on!
8.Return to the control box and replace the cover with the two screws.
9.at the key pad enter your code once more and the alarm will reset.
10. PEACE IS RESTORED YOUR ALARM SHOULD NOW WORK AS NORMAl
