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.
