(Why can’t I post in the alarm section about a problem with my house alarm)?? :thumbs_down:
I’ll post it here knowing it might get moved (however I won’t be able to see any responses) anyway here goes!!!
Scantronic 9800 alarm system
Hi
Stupidly I removed the cover of my alarm system which houses the backup battery and the electronics, which set of the alarm and put a fault on the keypad (tamper) which I can’t reset from. I’ve looked on several websites and followed guidance from a similar thread which stated:
However, when I turn off the mains power from the main board and disconnect the battery the external alarm sounds although I don’t know where it’s drawing its power from...
Needless to say when I carry out the above instructions nothing happens
Is the alarm system taking power prior to the main isolating switch should I pull the fuse on the tails, and go through the list again?
Thanks in advance

- Turn off the mains power
- Disconnect the battery for at least 10 seconds
- Reconnect battery
- Close cover
- Key in the engineers code (forgot what it was now)
- Repeat step 5.
