Napco CCI-8DD intermittent problem

Actually, now that I watch it carefully, it seems to be spontaneously arming and disarming itself. Sometimes switching so quickly that the beep is cut short.

Look for a newer System- 20 Years Old? CCI's are as old as Alarminex, and just like him, you probably can't get parts! LOL

I think you might have a RF interference problem there. Those panels had issues with RF, especially near AM radio towers.

Oh YEAH!

Well you just wait and see if you feel the same way about it when you get to be 20 years old.

Jim, you are the MAN- err Maybe the "OLD MAN"! LOL The Best to You! Mike

Change the system battery. If that doesn't solve the problem, you'll have a new battery on hand for your new system. Not much that goes wrong with that unit. Allan
