Hi all

I have a load of Dt-w sensors that I fitted last year. Slowly the batteries have started to fault at the control panel so I have changed them as and when needed, but today I got a fault for one I changed earlier this year.

I thought the batteries were supposed to last 2years. Could I just be unlucky or could there be a setting causing it to use more power than it needs to?

Panel is a 64-w running latest 6.01.11 firmware

Many thanks

Latest firmware is 6.02.
There has been reports the some earlier version 6 firmwares have caused premature battery failure in DT-W.

battery life depends on many things.
Usage, devices hopping through others.
Batteries not being swapped by mistake
Duff batteries.

remove battery, press tamper spring several times, insert new battery.

if you measure the batteries with a voltmeter what readings are you getting.

I’ll update panel and check battery voltage when I replace them and post back
 
Right, I’ve updated panel to 6.02 and removed and replaced batteries in the two offending pir’s.

One was the original Duracell which measured 2.75v and the other was an Energiser at 2.82v. New battery measured at 3.28v which were energiser as well.

I’ve check using wintex and Ricochet monitor and there doesn’t seem to be any hops on one sensor and the other has a single hip for a door contact. Most my items have connected directly to panel
 
well the batteries are very low so the question as to what is causing it is another matter,

what mode are the qd-w set to should be auto.
