Problem for GE Security Simon 3 Wireless Home Security System

Simon 3: A remote window sensor downstairs creates a constant Low Battery beep/message.




By Anonnymoose on Jun 14, 2008

" "
I ordered a new SAFT 3.6 v replacement battery, and no improvement. The old sensor battery lasted 3 years. Suddenly 2 weeks ago it began to beep every six - eight hours until the Status button was pushed:

"Sensor 13 Downstairs guestroom window. Low Battery."

Sensor 14 is identical and is placed on an adjacent window. It has not reported a low battery ever. I replaced both sensors' batteries today, and now, fifteen minutes later, everything remains exactly the same. Is this likely a sensor failure, sending the wrong message to the Simon 3?

you have to run a sensor test so the system will recoginize the new battery, open keypad cover type in your code press test till it says "sensor test" once it runs through all points press done, now reset your panel disarm code disarm

the capacitor in the sensor is faulty, you need to replace the sensor.

it should be a 6 volt, 1.3 amp hour battery. you can get them at batteries plus. best bet is to take the old one with you to the store to ensure that it fits.
