veritas R8 panel flashing green light

[amcjam]

Hi
Not a panel I am familiar with, but asked to have a look. It has green flashing led on panel system has locked out, battery flat and charging voltage and aux reading 24.4v with battery removed.
Did power it down to regain control of system, but readings were still 24.4v.

any thoughts

Try powering down the system then powering up. ....If this doesn`t work hard reset the system by powering up whist holding rest button.....There is no way you are getting 24v on aux, the transformer is only rated at 18v

hi tazz
thanks for that, I did power it down and was able to use keypad again, would a fault in the charging unit allow for this high voltage.

Impossible, the voltage from the transformer just isn`t there, plus both outputs are regulated to 13.8v.......new battery time
