Ice storm today with many outages and resultant surges. My security
system console is showing a low battery indicator. There is a 9v
transistor battery in there to hold the zones and detector info.
When I replaced the battery the low battery status light does not go
out, so I am beginning to wonder whether the leads have detached inside
the console or worse, that part of the electronics got fried.
Is there a way I can use a multimeter to touch the battery contacts
that would attach to the 9v battery to know if things are o.k.? Am I
looking for continuity? And, do I test with the AC power on or off to
the console?
Thanks everyone
