Thank you all for your helpful (and amusing) comments, I guess it’s the end of the road for what was in it’s heyday a good system as indeed were the Psion IIl’s.

I have this old system installed which died when the Bell standby battery expired a few years ago. I bought a replacement battery but never fitted it. l abandonned it after the control panel displayed the ‘contact installer’ message. However having tried to recently resurrect it, I managed to get the system to re-boot but it appears to have reverted to it’s original start date (1989) and settings - no longer recognising the later entry code. Sensors appear to function OK but are no longer recognised. The system has remained powered up throughout although will have suffered periodic mains interruptions. Is there any one around who could possible assist with this please. I have the impression that this was and it a good system , installed by the previous occupier, and am loathe to just bin it if there are people around (N Essex) who could actually get it going again. I still have some old Psion gear but not the specialist programmer needed for this job. Thanks for your attention.
