Technical Support:
- 8 am to 4 pm weekdays. Tech Support is not intended to provide immediate assistance. Please take the time to read your manual, to read this website, and to learn every aspect of your system’s operational features.
- Tech support is only to provide support for determining if you need to schedule a service call on site or for system problems that cannot be corrected with the information that is found in your system’s user manual or found on this web site.
- Example: Changing Batteries: This is not a tech support “over the phone” issue. Changing batteries in your system’s metal cabinet or sensors can be done easily by the home owner or business owner without our help using the information provided on this site and your manual. Finding out what low batteries on your system must be changed is done at the keypad using your manual or the Trouble Condition in the System Manuals section of this web site.
- Opening the sensor housing is delicate and you must be careful not to break the retaining clips holding the cover – If you don’t understand how to open the sensor housing, you should call 750-0002 to schedule a service call. $40.00 minimum service call (after c.o.d discount applied). The cost of replacing a sensor because it was damaged when trying to open the case, or replacing the battery incorrectly is $95- $195.00 or more depending upon the type of sensor.
- We will not be able to explain how to change batteries or open the sensor housing over the phone. We cannot tell you any information that is displayed on your keypad for the location of the low battery or sensor, without being there.
- All batteries can be found at Batteries Plus, Interstate Batteries or other type stores. Call them 1st to confirm it’s in stock.
- Example: Trouble light or keypad beeping, this is not a tech support required action. Only the home owner or business owner or staff can resolve this condition by reviewing their manual or this web site for proper action. It must be reviewed at the keypad, tech support cannot “see” the trouble condition at the keypad without a scheduled service call (minimum $75.00). It’s extremely easy for the system user to identify and correct the trouble condition without calling tech support.
