This may be a feature designed to alert you, should a burglar try to disable the alarm by disconnecting its main power supply ?

Sounds like the panel battery needs replacing.

Wrong forum by the way...
 
by the sounds of it you will need to replace the internal control panel battery.

what type (name photo would help) is your panel,

i can then let you know what battery you will need and how to change it

As he said ^^ hence expertgasman's reply.
 
The internal battery needs changing, should be changed every 5 years.

Has someone mention this before??? :LOL:

Yes, many, many times. :rolleyes:

Perhaps mentioning something else might help -

Your question HAS been asked before, (many times), the search facility at the top of every page always works well.
