My friends have a Scantronic 9800 which they have just had serviced (i.e. adopted by a new secruity company). Previously the chime setting (which they have enabled on the front and back doors) used to go 'ding-dong'. Since the service it now goes 'BOCK ding-dong'. The engineer claims that it can only be set that way (i.e. he probably dosen't have a manual to allow him to set it how they actually want it ). Anyone give me a clue as to how to ask him to set it up correctly (i.e. as it was before he played with it)? Provided I can pass on the instructions then they will call him out to do it correctly (assuming it needs engineering mode).

Hope there's someone out there who can help... I inherited an alarm when we moved house, unfortunately finding info on the damn thing is proving difficult, all i got was written notes from the previous owner and even google hasn't helped me, do any of the terms SL6, SL Compact, Security Lighting (company name i think) mean anything to anyone ?

Hi all, Just bought a house and the previous owners have left the entire alarm system, an Accord XPC originally installed by //.National Installer.//. Now, it was a monitored system but they have obv stopped that and just left it as 'bells only'. They have given us the code which I believe was the master code and deleted their normal user code. I tried to change this code to a new one by following the instruction manual (11 page small booklet) and things seemed to work fine. It beeped twice to confirm acceptance of the new code. Now tho everytime I enter this new code the alarm goes off - And hell is it loud I can disable it by entering this same code again. My …

First time poster, guys Changed over my Optima xm for Veritas Compact but need help to wire the personal attack button to this panel. as no dedicated zone any advise would be appreciated

Whenever the alarm is not set, and I move into zone 4 it beeps. This does not happen in the other zones or when the alarm is set. Does anybody know how I can stop it from doing this?? Any help would be greatly appreciated

can anyone help??? I have a veritas 8c alarm in my house - it recently stopped working , when I tried to set it or push any buttons it made a harsh beeping sound (not the usual sound for setting) so in an attempt to reset the alarm I cut off its power. however when I turned the power back on it beeps for about 5 mins and then the alarm goes off. can I do anything - is there a factory code that needs to be input or is this a job for a technician?? any help appreciated., , Tom

I inherited this system when we bought our house. We have found it works well but recently we had a power cut in oour street which caused the outside alarm to be activated. I was unable to stop it and it did only stop when the electricity was restored. Luckily this was a short power cut, but surely there must be a way to override it in the event of a power cut. Any suggestions please?

Does anyone know where I could get a key to reactivate my optima 2 plus security alarm please? I recently moved house and the previous owners did not leave a key for the panic button, which I accidently set off while vacuuming. I now cannot get the alarm to activate. An "A" keeps flashing on and off in the zone display. Any suggestions gratefully received.

I had a veritas R8 installed today but after a few hours i noticed that the unset light was blinking on and off. Now when i enter my code and FULL it just beeps, never sets. The only way i can set it is setting it as though it has a power fault. Anyway to fix this?

I have an old C&K sytem 238. It came to me without user code. I accidentaly arm the system while testing out. How do I reset the system to pactory default and disarm the system. Thanks!

I am looking for a retailer who will sell me a few detectors etc. I am particularly looking for Optex detectors and some ID biscuits. I need these items as I am installing a second-hand castle meridian. Can anyone recommend a retailer in the Berkshire area - or (even better) an online retailer? Thanks in advance.
