Guest helia Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 Hi there 1st post to the forum. Recently moved into new property which has an scantronic 9448es alarm, the alarm was not working and no engineers manual. Managed to retrieve manual, noticed one of the fuses was bust, replaced and fitted panel back on. Tamper error showing, reset with screwdriver and applied battery, mains. Error disappeared, loaded new code. Tamper error showed again, could this fault be showing if sounder disconnected? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Trautbec Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 Fuse generally blow for a reason! It needs checking by an engineer. Its worth paying the money to get it right. Just trying to do my job stuart@homeguardsecurity.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest helia Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 Yes , tamper can be device wiring , panel lid , bell or rkp.Regards. fastcar By connecting sounder and resetting system, connect panel, will this totally remove the tamper error, the alarm will not sound and upset neighbours? One of the PIR upstairs wasn't working, however I omitted this from the zones, could this also cause error? Your Knowledge is much appreciated.

Your Knowledge is much appreciated. hi helia, firstly you are advised of the lethal potential mains voltages existing within the alarm cabinet, also the risk of injury due to a heavy falling battery. as alarmgaurd says, it not easy from the very scant info to guide you accurately, the faulty pir may be an indication of a cable being damaged when new carpets or wood floor were being laid, and that may be when the fuse blew, but this could also be a 'red herring'. resolving your problem is really in a skilled engineers domain, please do not think we are being condescending or protectionist, it's just an honest opinion being offered. post you lacality and i'm sure someone on here will contact you to offer assistance regs alan If you think education is difficult, try being stupid!!!!

Reset system and found out the panel was knackered, I certainly wouldn't have been able to diagnose the issue's. Looks like a new alarm, Guy was pleasant, He would replace with new panel and rewire, cost supplied and fitted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
