Changing the panel has always cured the problem.Ĭommon problems with this alarm that we encountered before finally replacing it. Over the last 10 years, I must have replaced nearly 100 of these Omnicron panels, almost all have had the same random faults as you describe. The Omnicron unfortunataly is prone to suffer from all sorts of problems that most other control equipment can cope well with, not just static build up but Mains spikes and surges cause faults, EMF passed down through the alarm cabling can cause faults, close proximity to a strong transmitter, etc etc etc. You have done very well if youve had so few problems over the years, most Omnicrons start to play up over a much shorter time span. When your Omnicron starts to play up, its time to change it. So you from this you can see your not putting too much on the PSU. As with most domestic alarm panels the omnicron will provide 1 Amp at 13.8 volts.Ī typical bellbox with sab module will use around 30mA in standby, and around 350mA when sounding.Īn internal speaker or Siren might also use 30mA standby and 350mA sounding, so in an alarm condition this would leave around 300mA spare for powering detectors.Ī typical pir only uses between 10 and 20mA, so if we say 20mA per pir detector then in theory your panel will happily supply power for upto 15 pir detectors.
