Ademco FBII Security Panel Circuit Problem

Mar 11, 2006 7 Replies

I have an XL-2T FBII Security system. Over the past year, I have replace the control panel three times. Each time it was due to the CR34 circuit burning out. If someone knows of a known problem or possible cause I would appreciate the information.

you answered your own question "ADEMCO".. RTS

What is the CR34 circuit?

3 new boards???...makes me think something else is causing the blow out.

I have about 50 XL2t out there and never had a problem with them.

I only have a handful, but if the panel was really really replaced 3x with new board, I'd suspect something else as the cause for the failures.

Check power supply make sure your not pulling to much thru it or that a field deice is not malfunctioning and pulling too much. check in comming AC power check to make sure transformer is not putting too much power in some areas were i normally put a 16 vac transformer i have to put a 12vac becuase the power runs higher.

you should not have to be replacing panels

do a current check on the output durring an alarm event.. the 2T has a rather low output current limit.. RTS
