Hi all,
I have a Pyronix Paragon Plus alarm which has worked well since it was installed about 17 years ago. Last night we suffered a power cut and when the power came back on the alarm sounded. Entering the normal code had no effect and as it was 3am I switched off the power to the control box. As this silenced it immediately I can assume the batteries in the controller and the bell are flat.
Having now found a manual I find I can seemingly set and reset the alarm using the default codes, and also the entry/exit zones appear to work as previous, however, the alarm wont go into DAY mode, and because of this I am unable to reset the user code back to my original number.
Could this problem exist as a result of the battery in the controller being flat? As I said earlier, the alarm has worked perfectly well, presumably with a flat battery, but I wonder if now restoring power without a battery is causing a problem.
Any ideas?
Many thanks, David.
