veritas

Hi Can anyone help we have a texecom veritas alarm system, is there a way to set the full alarm but reduce the noise it makes when it’s setting as ours is really loud. If not can the part set be changed so the silent alarm doesn’t set the alarm off straight away when front door opened?

Hi, I've recently decorated my hallway.. During the process I unscrewed two PIRs (OPTEX EX-35T) from the walls - did not disconnect, just unscrewed, wiring is intact. One PIR in the hallway - on Zone 2. One PIR on the Landing - on Zone 7. I had to power down the mains (including the Alarm...

Hi, The issue is solved but I'm curious as to if anyone knows what the issue was, or how to fix it in future. Veritas 8C, installed by yours truly 2 years ago. I had to power off the garage for a couple of days (the alarm is solely in the garage, monitoring the garage). When I turned the...

Hi I've trawled this forum trying to find an answer to this problem and i've found similar problems but not exactly this fault. We've lived at current property for about a year. It was built in 2004 with standard veritas v8 alarm system. Never had any problems until last week when the alarm...

For about a week already my Veritas Excel alarm refuses to set and instead starts emitting series of 10 beeps. The Power and Tamper lights remain green and don't flash. Q1: Am I right that the likely cause of this is still the battery needing replacement? Q2: For Veritas R8 this seems like...
