Please help seems you panel's standby battery is spent and needs replacing they don't last for ever, usually about 3 - 4 years. i'd assume subsequently your system has 'defaulted' itself back to factory fresh settings, so you either need a manual (which we can't supply you due to site rules) or an engineer to visit and set it back up for you, both options need the battery in the panel to be replaced. your call, but best i'd recommend you have your system looked at by a pro, you will get advice on improvements which may be of value to your more current needs, just get an estimate for the call out and battery 1st to save arguments later and obviously such calls should be far cheaper in office hours . regs alan If you think education is difficult, try being stupid!!!!

I do have a users instruction manual but cant see anything related to this in the book, the supply and day leds are on but noting happens when I try to key in ths code to set the alarm, will this correct itslf if I replace the battery?

daveboy Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 If the power and day led's are lit the panels fine it may have lost its settings and defaulted to the factory settings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorted, found the master default code, the usual straight four digit no. I can now set up the system, Oh yeh and I'll replace the battery first. thanks for your help, it really was appreciated.
