smudge18 Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 can anybody tell me how to get the lid off this panel please? it was already in the house when i moved in and now the battery needs replacing. no instructions were left either so i believe i can download a user manual, but getting the cover off would be a start !!

There is a screw on the right hand edge of the panel. (near the keypad) Remove the screw and the front of the panel will hinge open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

camerabloke Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 the keypad isn't the main controller, that will be hidden away somewhere like an airing cupboard or garage Eucam Security Systems 0845 4630 746 www.eucam.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lawandorder Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 You are looking for the big box Sorry I was thinking old 9448, you know, the standalone version with onboard keypad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arfur mo Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 just a word of caution, taking the lid of any device should cause a tamper, so you will ned the user code to stop it. inside the main panel 240vac mains potential is available, we have no idea how safely this was applied so for your own safety please please make VERY sure no power is going into the panel before you remove the lid, when you remove the battery the external siren should sound if wired correctly. you can see a 'simple' job soon becomes a bit more complex and concidering what it is protecting in value alone, why not invest in a proper service call from a local company and have it accessed for suitability against your own needs? regs alan If you think education is difficult, try being stupid!!!!

If the wall that it is fixed to is a little uneven it is possible that even with the screw removed the panel lid may be tight but there is only one screw.
