Problem for GE Security Simon 3 Wireless Home Security System
Simon 3 "System Low Battery" after 3 years use
Hi Guys,
I have GE Simon 3 Security System (60-875) installed at my house for more than 3 years. Now for the last whole week it start a cycle of 2 beeps after every couple of hours or so. When I press the "System Status" it goes away, and start again after couple of hours.
"System Status" says, "System Low Battery". My question is do I need a new "Lead Acid Battery" for it. This battery is supposed to be rechargable, and so I'm working why does it have to replaced.
If I do need to replace this "Sealed Lead-Acid" battery, can you tell where I can get it from internet.
Thanks so much

- I had finally figured it out. The lead acid battery life is 3 years by manufacturer. Even though there is no mention of it in user manuals.The battery can be purchased at any Battery stores like BatteryPlus etc.
In order to remove it, first your will need to open the console panel. When you do that you will have to enter your pin code.
Then you will have to reach at the top of the console and use regular screw driver to open the inside panel.
Next you will need screw driver to open a rectangular battery panel.
Once open, pull on the +ve & -ve battery teminals gently (may need to use screw driver).
Then repeat the steps to install the batter.
It is more tedious than it should've been. I believe GE expected that the Security Company technician would be called to fix this.
Hope this helps.

People are confusing two separate issues. Simon will tell you which device is giving the "low battery" indication. "System Low Battery" means the console. If a door sensor or other device has a low battery it will be indicated as such. Replace the appropriate battery. Apparently the life of the system battery is about 3 years. Replace it or the beeping will continue.

- I have the same problem: the system low battery alarm has come after nearly three years use but the instruction manual (466-1873-01) and the users guide (466-1871-01) for GE Simon Security System (part no 60-875) provided by ADT who installed the system does not give any instructions for replacement of the battery. - GuestMar 31, 2009
- I replaced the 6V battery in the master panel, but continue to receive the warning every four hours. I need to figure out how to reset the system also.- GuestDec 05, 2008
- i have the same problem and am trying to fix it. i have replaced ALL of my AAA batteries for ALL of my sensors and it still is going off with 6 beeps every 1-2 minutes and when i hit the status it gives me the same errors...telling me which sensors are "low" and "system low battery" even though they are all brand new batteries.i have just taken out the lead battery thinking that would be it. you will get this by using
blancapeak info...which is easily accessable...and am wondering if that will be the case. has anyone been able to fix this issue and have it go away before spending the money on getting a new lead battery?- ceroberts75

I have the same Security System the same problem, with the 2 beeps every couple of hours .
The Control Center called and said the battery on the door connector was low and that was the cause of the beeps not the entire system, I replaced with 2 triple A batteries and no more beeps.

Once you open the main panel and it asks you for your access code for programing, look back on the top where the clip for the main panel is, you'll see another clip in there, use a small screwdriver to push in and press and release, then you'll see a small compartment with 2 philip head screws...there's the battery.

once the battery has been replaced, I am still getting the low battery message. Is there a reset code?

No, after changing the battery and powering down the system completely to clear the "system low battery" message, it still remembers all your programs. The only thing it loses is the time which can be set again easily.

After changing the battery and powering down the system completely in order to clear the "low battery" message, will I need to completely reprogram the panel to the settings I want? Will everything go back to the factory defaults?
Yes
No

I install these panels. For the low battery message to clear you need to power the system down completely. To do this you need to unplug the battery and also unplug the transformer plugged into an electrical outlet. When you power the system back up, you need to first plug in the battery leads. Then the transformer.

Same problem here. Does the reset fix the problem? Does the reset remove all programmed sensors? I have 14 sensors and I'd hate to re-program all of them.
