Secware_Tech6 Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 Hassan This occurs when the battery is conneced the wrong way. ie reverse polarity. If you disconnected it quick enough then the panel will be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Secware_Tech6 Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 DO you have a short on your 12v outputs or bell supplies? I would disconnect everything from your panel incase you have a wiring fault. can you post a picture of the panel and wiring etc. James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hassanm Posted April 23, 2010 Author Share Posted April 23, 2010 hi, well i have packed it away.. its going to be swapped on monday! thanks anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Secware_Tech6 Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 I would advise checking for shorts etc. if you do have a wiring fault then the same thing may happen. if you don't connect any powers or sounders etc then you can power the new panel up and test first. hopefully it was a faulty panel.
