How to fix Premier Alarm Power Supply (PSU) fault

If you get a fault message on your Premier alarm that says ‘Power O/P fault System 12V’ then it’s telling you that you’ve had a problem with your Power Supply – which is normally related to the mains power being down (for example if you’re had a power cut or a fuse has tripped). In this case all you need to do is to restore mains power (and ideally also check the fuses whilst you’re at it).

To remove the ‘Power O/P fault System 12V’ message from your Premier alarm display, then the first thing you should do is:

• ENTER your 4 digit code
• Press RESET.

This should then return your system to its normal working state, meaning you’ll be able to operate your alarm as usual.

Having done this, if the ‘Power O/P’ or ‘Charger fault’ message is still showing then you probably have a bigger problem with your Premier alarm PSU (power supply unit).

At this point you can either try to fix the problem yourself (in which case read on) or book an professional engineer to fix (via our engineer service here >>)
