Load Shedding

[dcrera]

Hi
Due to load shedding and a technical fault on the AC supply, I have decided to run my system on battery power using a backup UPS.
The system is working perfectly well.
However I want to disable the \'POWER FAILURE CONTROLLER\' message from displaying on the LCD key
and
Disable the AC led indicator on the keypad
Please advise how I can achieve this
Regards

in Alarm Types > Nondetector alarms, set the Power Failure Alarm type to Null to disable power supply alarm

Just as an added note. Connect a mains relay with NC or NO contacts to a spare input or RIO and create a Response to execute when the mains fail.

For me I would like the response to switch off my Pool pump when running on UPS. If using ComfortClient you could have it send a custom SMS as well.

Thanks for heads up

Hi

I run Comfort from a UPS backup battery. This weekend the keypad reported a power failure on low battery. It was after hours and I could not get a replacement and the system slowly shutdown.

I since replaced the battery and the system won\'t power up ! Thinking it might be the UPS, I connected the battery directly to the system with no avail.:X

Any ideas on what might be causing this ?

There is a SW52 pushbutton switch near the heastsink

If a battery is connected without a AC power supply, the system will not power up until the switch is pressed. This is for the situation where a house is not completed but the battery can be connected. The system will not power up or drain the battery
When the AC is ready it can be turned and the system will start running.

One of the many ways that Comfort is designed for practical use

Wow that was easy. I am back on.

It is SW51 on my board

I installed a brand new gel battery. Tested by the supplier. The battery was on trickle charge since 2:00 pm yesterday.

The system reports Power Failure Controller on the keypad and Power Supply Ac Failure - Low battery on my IPhone app.

The Alarm Type PowerFailure is set to null response.

PS: Tried acknowledging the message by entering my code on the keypad and it causes the system to go into Ready To Arm Mode

Go to Security Types> Nomdetector alarms> 3 Power Failure and set Alarm Type to Null or 0

If you referring to this, it has been done

in Alarm Types > Nondetector alarms, set the Power Failure Alarm type to Null to disable power supply alarm
