Hi folks, Apologies for being a complete alarm noob, I'm looking for some advice regarding a couple of things. The buttons on the keypad decide to randomly stop working. So I was thinking I'd take the thing apart and clean the button contacts etc for a start. I'm assuming the tamper protection will go off as soon as I start opening/disconnecting wires. Is there a way to prevent this? So I can disconnect it, clean the internals, put it back and Bobs your aunty? The other thing is I need to replace the battery in the control panel, but I can't see an obvious way into it. Is there particular method to get the thing open? Will it also go berserk if I take the cover off? Any help would be greatly appreciated thank you.

Hi all, I would really appreciate a bit of help here please.I have an alarm box is an ademco xpc microtech accord 8 with the keypad as pictured. I had to switch the power off at the circuit breaker and later that night when I went to set the alarm to the "Night Set" (Easy Set 3) it beeped 3 times and never set.After testing this more, it turns out the "Full Set" (Easy Set 1) doesn't work either, it gives the 3 beeps. When it was working you would hear 2 beeps and set but now you hear 3 beeps but doesn't set.I noticed that if I try and set it by entering the code and then 1 for full set or the code and then 3 for night set the alarm shows that zone 8 is tripping.The interesting thing is I don't have a zone 8! Could this be a battery fault or something else? Any tips would be amazing.The call out charge for an alarm guy locally is £150 which I don't have at the moment.Thanks.
