Texecom Premier Elite/ Ricochet - Radio Conf Fail Outside Bell

[alarmnovice25]

Hello

My Texecom wireless alarm system has been up and running for 12 months with no issues then over the weekend an alert popped up concerning one of the outside bells. It is telling me there is a 'radio conf fail' and it isn't possible to set the alarm because it comes up with message saying 'preparing to arm' but freezes.

Could it be something as simple as replacing the battery in the bell box or something else?

Thanks for the help.

More than likely make sure you buy quality batteries and make sure they are ALL in the right way

for my outside detector, I now use lithium cells. They last a very long time in use. Spare ones have a shelf life of around 10 to 15 years.

They are unaffected by any achievable outdoor temperatures.
