Thanks for the reply's and being there when seeking good advice on alarms, an area I lack experience in. I needed a few pointers to start me off on finding our particular fault. I shall take you advice and get a replacement battery next week in case of any further tamper faults that my arise. Thanks again

Found the fault, in the bell box, it was full of spiders and webs, the weather had recently changed from being dry and mild to damp. Cleaned out the unit and all now seems the intermittent fault is now clear. So just as well I did not buy a battery in a hurry, now I can look round for a best price one !!!! Yes things can be tight out there open your eyes and listen to what other folk are saying.

Thank you for the advice I shall have a look this evening, shall start eliminating circuits with the links and shall borrow a battery.

The power light , the tamper light, and the green light. The battery is about 6 years old.
