  1. I posted an example of what appears to be an identical panel box, and panel - so people know roughly know what kind of set up my mother has. There's no model printed on the panel box itself, so I cant state what model I have. If i had - someone might have been able to link me to an exact user manual. I forgot to take a photo of the panel in situ in my mothers loft - so I thought id get a google image of a close approximation to what model my mum has. Thanks for advice, it seems I just need the user manual and to see if there's a 'set up for first time' page, or 'engineer mode' or something. if worst comes to the worst, ill just pull the power. I just wanted to know if there was anything i was missing before i connect up.
  2. haha, well I'll usually bow to experience. If someone is experienced I shouldn't have to question as to why I'm doing something I'm being asked to do.
  3. I may have to do that then- ill try and get the exact model number and go from there.
  4. Ahh I see- you've circled with the blow out occurred- this is just an example of the kind of board set up, how it looks in the panel box. It's not my actual board.
  5. That picture is just an example for the board, I don't believe that's actually a battery in the corner. When I speak about the battery I'm referring to the back up battery that provides power in the event of a mains power outtage. Oh sorry I've just seen you've circled something at the top- what are you circling?
  6. I'm reasonably gifted with car mechanics and computers but no security/alarm fitting experience. I'm good at following instruction though! But yes... I will be blagging a bit n hoping for best, lol
  7. Hi everyone, I'm hoping someone here can help! My mother's home alarm started some time ago to exhibit problems and now seems to be totally dead - quite possibly down to the panel. The alarm system itself appears to be an Accenta - possibly a g4/8 mini. It's difficult to tell as the panel box is plain apart from a red light. I have removed the A.D.E panel board though - and purchased a direct exact working replacement from eBay for fitment (the code on the processor is identical).The alarm was first fitted in 2001 i believe. I'll try and give you the most information I can so you can possibly help. My goal is to fit the new panel board and set up the new passcode ready for my mother to continue using her alarm as she did before. Below the first picture is a very close example to what I unwired/removed. The panel box and battery location look almost the same too. The second picture is of the exact replacement panel I will be using. This is just to give you an idea. So, assuming the installation procedure is to wire exactly as the old panel was, then connect battery, then connect to mains. What then? I am unsure as to what happens as soon as i reconnect the power. The alarm may suddenly go off, or go into some operator/engineer mode...I am totally unsure. Assuming that my procedure is correct and the panel works fine - is anyone able to assist me in what to do as soon as power reconnects, and how to reset, and then set a new alarm code for the system? If anyone is also able to link me to a correct Manual/Online guide that might help me also, that would be reeeeally useful! Thankyou in advance, and I hope I've been clear.
  8. Hi everyone! I just thought i'd introduce myself, i'll be posting an enquiry into (hopefully) the right section in a moment - I'm currently about to replace the main board for my elderly mothers 15 year old alarm system as i believe this has failed. I'll post what i know and hopefully someone can help me out! My alarm fitting experience is erm...zilch, aside from a quick dusting of the sensors and replacing the battery/fuses! Anyway, hopefully someone can help - i'm not even sure this is correct kind of forum for such a request....but i'll give it a go. Thankyou all!
