Everything has been running pretty smoothly for a while on the NX8E install. I recently added two smoke alarms and now the panel has a
Control Power Fault
error message. I have disconnected (and verified) the new smokes and they appear to be OK and of the same model as the other 4 that are installed and running. I verified that I get power at the AC terminals on the panel (19VAC) and the the battery is OK too (13.8V). I get the same message with mains unplugged.
The smokes I'm using have very low current draw 50ua so it would seem I'm not overloading anything.
I also can no longer get in with either the user code or the master code!
The web hasn't given me much help on this. I'm especially perplexed by the loss of BOTH codes.
Unless anybody has a great idea I'm inclined to spend the 90 bucks to buy a new board as I need to pass my fire marshall test here pretty soon!
