the controller Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Make sure that tjhe security panel is located correctly, this is the panel with the preset buttons 2-5 on it, remove it and clean the contacts and re-fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 1 hour bit is due to the unit being turned on with ignition off, it will allow the unit to be on for that 1 hour then it will turn off to save battery life.
