What would set off the alram like that? I have been lazy about changing batteries - they are wired alarms. As far as I know, low battery only gives chirping alarms. I changed the batteries on all alarms today - but not sure if it was the battery that was doing it. I have another carbon monoxide detector and it showed level zero I rushed back home and there was no fire or anything. I received two such warning messages within an hour. I replayed the sound on my phone and it had the beep beep fire fire sound coming from one of the alarms that have voice/beep. I was out and about for a couple hours today and I received a warning from the camera that is set to trigger with loud sounds.

One of the cameras is set up to detect only sounds - so if someone knocks on the door, it will warn me, and I can look at the camera feed. The 5500 DSC Power Series Custom Alpha alarm system keypad with the protection cover slightly open.

I also have a camera system and that sense motion and movement. I have 3 additional alarms in the upstairs bedrooms - these seem to be simpler ones with just beep. I have 2 alarms - one in the living room and one high up in the ceiling above the stairs that go upstairs. Most old alarm panels get replaced, not because they've gone bad, but because the Users want new toys and features not available on the old stuff or because a dealer told them they needed it even though their existing panel was perfectly functional. I've had good luck with equipment off eBay, especially control panels. You've been using a used panel up until now, and are only replacing it because it doesn't work any more.

Unless you're looked for some upgrade feature your PC 5010 didn't have, you don't actually need to upgrade the board you can buy a used-but- perfectly good replacement PC5010 off eBay or other source, in which case you wouldn't need to replace any peripherals, like whatever keypad(s) you current have or wireless (RF) devices or whatever might be incompatible with the new Neo panel. I wouldn't trust it now, even if it lapsed into seeming to work again. (Please see the sample pictures below.I think we've established that you definitely need a new transformer and a new battery.ДЄs Ron said, it's a pretty fair chance that the PC 5010 board is cooked too. The control panel looks like a mother board that would be in a computer. If there is not a sticker present, look directly on the control panel itself. Usually the make and model number is in a larger bold font than the rest of the text. Most lids have a wiring diagram sticker on the inside of them. Once the lid is open, locate the panel information. It will be smaller than a house key, with teeth cut on only one side. Or, check the вЂњcatch-allвЂќ drawer in the kitchen. If you donвЂ™t have a key, look on top of the panel.

It could just be screwed shut and you will need a screw driver.

It will probably be tucked away in a closet or laundry room, and may or may not have a locking lid. This is notВ the keypad used to arm and disarm instead, look for a tan metal box about 16вЂќ square. Most alarm panels normally have the model information on a sticker inside the lid of the main panel box.
