Why is my Ness Control Panel beeping when arming?
When arming your Ness Control Panel, if a zone light is on or the keypad emits a long beep, it indicates that one or more detection devices, such as a PIR or reed switch, may be unsealed. Find the cause of movement or ensure all doors and windows are closed.

What to do if my Ness D8X keypad is beeping 10 times?
Ten beeps from the keypad of your Ness Control Panel indicate a potential power issue. It could be due to the mains power being off, a low backup battery in the panel, or a low battery in a Radio Device. Ensure the plug pack is properly connected and the power point is switched on. If the problem persists, the backup battery may need replacement; in this case, contact your installer.
