Does anyone remember those ludicrously biassed 'cost of two wire vs conventional systems' comparisons in trade mags where they used to quote 'EOL units' at £150 each for the conventional price?
If you want to keep your neighbours as friends, I would call an out of hours pro now.
The battery is faulty, almost certainly dead after all these years.
If you find the main control box, and disable it, then it's possible the external siren
will then start to sound for up to 20 minutes.
Smashing it up, or disabling the keypad, will not help I'm afraid.
I had a funny dealing, on the 'M' also that 'lid tamper' inc case and modules was always an eng reset event?
Whilst of course you could set zone tamper to user...
Not sure if that's right but had a play with an M600 last week prior to scrapping.
Nope youre right, it's something they introduced on the last incarnations of the now discontinued 9751 9752 and 9853 EN models that's slightly pointlessly crept into the remaining 9651 model
There is no issue, although on a 9651 the only relevant bus checks it's doing are for keypads. A longish wait is normal, I upgraded a 9853 last week with a second keypad and xpander and that takes about the same time to get to 'exit engineer?'. Other than mains or battery, if there are faults it can see, it won't let you exit.
The only specific bellbox fault this panel can detect is an open tamper.
