Power disconnect
I have a 2017 Bourton with Sargent EC500 fitted. Two nights in a row I have been phoned by their centre at midnight to say there has been a power disconnect error. Of course Sargent went on holiday 2 nights ago and back on the 4th Jan so can't phone them! The centre has noted not to call overnight going forward.
When I turn the system on it displays a good battery voltage so no idea what this refers to. Any thoughts would be appreciated

Re: Power disconnect
I’ve got a 2018 van also with an EC500. I wasn’t aware that Sargent even had a monitoring centre, is this something to do with a tracker or some other system on your van? I assume you would be paying a subscription for such a service.
Sorry, not much help regarding your question, just interested in your setup on a van of similar age to mine.

Re: Power disconnect
I was not aware of any link to Sargent as I pay no fee and have installed a different tracker so it is a bit of a puzzleDbvwt wrote:I’ve got a 2018 van also with an EC500.

Re: Power disconnect
A Xmas mystery indeed as I’ve messed around quite a bit with my EC500 and haven’t seen any external connection! Did the centre actually say they were representing Sargent?

Re: Power disconnect
I have to admit that having gone to bed an hour before hand I was not at my best and the first caller left a message which was nearly unintelligible. The second was better but I was still half asleep so I might have heard wrong. Not going to worry as the van seems perfectly secure and secured as far as I can tell.

Re: Power disconnect
And you say your battery voltage looked good so have a glass of mulled wine, a mince pie and enjoy the next few days till Sargent open again.
I suspect they will be just as baffled

Re: Power disconnect
You did mention back in August in the post linked below that you'd had a tracker fitted - wouldn't the call have come from the tracker company?jon-hawkins wrote:I have to admit that having gone to bed an hour before hand I was not at my best and the first caller left a message which was nearly unintelligible.

Same with our 2015 van, with EC500, I thought it was simple and no online messagesDbvwt wrote:I’ve got a 2018 van also with an EC500.

Re: Power disconnect
It could be so will wait to see if it happens again and get clarity as the phone number is wrong for the tracker fitted.rogerblack wrote:

That was my first thought Roger and the reason I asked earlier if the O/P was paying a subscription to anyone.

Re: Power disconnect
The A-S Manual for the 2017 Bourton states that a Teletrac Trackstar TM470 is fitted:

Just a thought - is it possible a previous owner paid the subscription and the loss of power refers to the vehicle battery rather than the habitation battery?

Re: Power disconnect
I had not picked up on the tracker you mention. I suppose its possible the previous owner paid a subscription but it was my mobile rung. The call centre have not rung again so hoping all is wellCaraman wrote:The A-S Manual for the 2017 Bourton states that a Teletrac Trackstar TM470 is fitted:
