Some alarms have a fuse which can be reset by simply switching it off and then on again.

Seems this may be the case with mine as well.Originally Posted by ians
I still need to resolve why 2 zones need to be bypassed before arming, the light on the keypad flashes continuously even though it should not. This issue is new after we powered up the system after being off for a week.
The quickest test would be to take one of the resistors (3.3k) and insert it between Z4 and C (common) ... if the light still flashes ... the board could be damage.
if not ... it could be that there is a problem with the wire or the device.
do the same to zone 8.
the best advice I can offer is for you to find a friend who knows an alarm tech who does side line work ... he must be familiar with the caddy NX system otherwise he is gonna waste your time and money ... it could be why the alarm tech who offered to "replace you system didnt offer to fix it.
Depending which company you use ... ADT for example use the IDS ... Blue security use the Risco system.
the caddy NX system was a good system back in its day ... so is the Paradox and the Texecom
The problem is the alarm industry is a real cut throat business.
I decided to go with the IDS system ( locally manufactured and have the best support team) ... done all the training on the IDS system and have a full 64 zone system in my house and a test rig on my office wall ... I also have all the equipment to setup and monitor the systems.
