i-ON 40 burglar alarm replacement

Anonymous user 09/03/2024 - 2.59 PM

Hi,I am finding that my i-ON burglar alarm is going off randomly (in the middle of the night of course. I only have the user code & not the engineer code. As the battery is a few years old I thought I'd replace it, and then if that does not fix it I'd check the sensors for insects, etc. Can all this be achieved with just the user code (I don't mind if it sounds when I remove the tamper front panel as long as the user code will reset the system after). Any advice will be most appreciated

Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

you would be able to check the sensors internally by removing the lids. A tamper alarm activation will occur each time you remove a sensor though, you can silence the sounders by entering your access code. if you do not have an engineer code you cannot avoid this. Are the sensors wireless ? if so I would recommend replacing the batteries if over 2 year old.

depending on who installed the system, your alarm could have been set up for customers to reset tampers, if not a engineer code would be needed. normally replace all wireless detectors batteries every service once a year. also best thing to do would be to press the button with the 3 lines on it on the top right, put your code in and go down until you see view log. this will allow you to see what the fault is, the main panel battery should last 4/5 years, but not always.

It's good to have engineers code. You can reset user and engineers codes on Ion40 without loosing rest of configuration. Default code should be 7890 if it wasn't changed. Good luck.
