    Considering the mix up just with just your speaker, I would think twice about DIY.

    Unless your willing to take the risk of many hours/weeks learning on the job and no guarantee of a working alarm at the end of it.

     

    Words of caution if you do DIY:-

    External bell strobe unit has very high voltage, this and having to disconnect a sounding box on the wall up a ladder is not the most pleasant experience when you have no idea what you are doing. Be careful.

    Obviously the control box has mains voltage in best to isolate if your not good with electrics.

    Thanks sixwheeledbeast but having just rewired most of my house and had it NIC inspected with no problems I am happy to take this my speaker issue earlier was from on my looking at the product from a picture and being of the belief that I had and internal sounder as well as an external one having followers yours and others advice that part of the system has been reinstated and working great

  2. So just to get this right 

     

    1 disconnect external sounder battery backup

     

    2 default reset panel to reset engineer code 

     

    3 wire in new keypad

     

    4 check system all working normal having reconnected external sounder

     

    5 power back down and external sounder and swap pir’s

    II believe you are correct, I am not that familiar with Scanny anymore but I am sure someone posted here that the newer rkp's are compatible 

    From what I’ve read on security warehouse 

    it should work fine and I’ve read it on other forum’s

    The external sounder should start sounding on its own battery if you fully down power the panel. I say should that is what it is supposed to do.

    So You really need to start at the external sounder, go outside and disconnect that first, otherwise you will upset your neighbors 

    Ok can I disconnect that before I power down or after

    You're right a blank keypad is not nessacarily going to be a faulty keypad. With no way of shutting the alarm up if you make a wrong move, I am not sure that I would be wanting to DIY that. 

    I would get the engineer that normally serviced it but I can’t get hold of him anymore and none of my local company company’s will touch it without wanting silly money 

  5. Hi guys looking for some advice 

     

    I have a scantronic 9651 alarm with one main keypad, 5 pir detectors and smoke detectors 

     

    ive had it service yearly in the 10 years I’ve had it but recently had a lot of work in the house done plastering and decorating and my now the keypad just lights up no sound and no message on it just a blank screen and I’m looking to switch the pir to pet tolerant 

     

    I dint have the engineer code for the alarm so I’m guessing first thing to do would be reset the default codes then fit the new keypad and then the detectors anything I should expect or know about going from other bits on the forum each job seams fairly strait forward only thing worrying me I’d the keypad not working before the reset 

  6. Al-yeti I know what others have said about simply swapping case and cut this and cut that but when you’ve just spent best part of £30 getting what you had been told before was the right part to get then your forgive me for being a bit reluctant to start cutting wires and swapping this for that 

     

    also new to this site and this topic should have been posted in the diy installer forum not in here 

     

    but thanks all for advice and assistance

    If you don't mind the terminal strip floating around yer.

    So what your saying is snip all the black wires from the new speaker and the new tamper switch take out the circuit board and led and just use the connector bloc from old sounder

    But how do I stop the case all the tamper switch is fitted to the circuit boar and in to the case don’t think I can get the tamper switch out without damage

    Swap the case

    You can disconnect the tamper aswell and use that on a tamper circuit 

     

    Either way you can't use that circuit board on the speaker output simple

    Ok I think I need to return it am I right I’m needing to CQR soint1 I posted about earlier

  9. I’m upgrading the pir detectors and putting in a new keypad at the same time and looking at the two sounders it’s not just a simple case swap I think the new one will work fine just want to know what terminals to wire in to on the new one
