the sounder has stopped working. The fob makes lights flash once for on twice for off, rechargeable battery pack fully charged as is the leisure battery. Can hear a clicking when setting and unsettling and PIR is working. Have removed the PCB board and checked that the horn is properly affixed to the base. Ordered a new horn sounder from Amazon but touching the wires to the horn connection on the PCB and still no sound. So it looks like there is a fault on the PCB. Any other suggestions before I contact Sargent for a new PCB? Has anyone replaced the board?

    @JanetCaldecott why not just ask your dealer and then Sargent if they have any idea why the horn is not working and if they have a solution to resolve the issue before purchasing the PCB?

    Having a couple of false alarms issues, and having to investigate them, a couple of things to try,After arming the alarm, it will take a couple of minutes to set.Then try re-entering van.

    On my van there is a stabiliser leg sensor, try arming the system and lifting the front legs up,a see if that initiates the siren.

    Are batteries new in PIR ?and there is a setting procedure via the three pinned fob ,has that altered ? Instructions for above are in the leaflet or online.Give Sargent a ring ,as they are most helpful ,but you must be in the van,as they will talk you through your issues.
