Hi . I’m having a problem with my Pyronix Sterling 10 system with LCD keypad which was installed in June 2001 .
We rarely use it as there’s almost always somebody in but it always has worked ok .
Since around four weeks ago, every day for around six hours a day ( 4am to 10 am) we have been hearing a ( quite quiet) beep every 15 seconds from the box on the front of the house.
It’s driving us mad. Thankfully the neighbours don’t seem to have noticed it
Anyway, I googled the fault and through various sources established that it was probably the battery in the main panel which is situated in my airing cupboard.
Thinking the back up battery had probably deceased, I opened the panel and removed the Texecom 12v7AH battery 92001 (original 2001) and replaced with an equivalent( link below )
. I took a voltage reading from the new and old batteries and there was a marked difference in the readings so presumed the old battery was probably duff

I tested the alarm afterwards and all was well. Problem sorted I thought, BUT NO !
All went ok for around 5 days then suddenly the beeping has started again, same as before like a bird cheeping every 15 seconds from the bell box at the front of the house. I noticed it at around 4 am this morning.
So I’ve given up googling and come straight to the PEOPLEwho seem to know what they are talking about and hopefully put me on the right track…PLEASE !
Sorry for the long post !
