hi barry,

C6 = Circuit 6,

so whatever is connected to C6 like perhaps a door, it is not closed, or a detector has developed a fault.

have you changed any doors? if so you needed to refit the magnet to the new dooror perhaps panic button was pressed and needs re-seting.

your installer should have listed the zones in the back of your user manual

C6? or Cb?

I`d suspect the lids off the control unit

Cb means control panel tamper or keypad PIN tamper (the latter meaning someone entering the wrong code too many times)

Check to make sure the lid on the main control panel is secure and hasn't been knocked. Then try entering your code and press YES and enter your code again to reset.

Ct is keypad tamper ..............

Ct is keypad lid tamper IIRC, Cb could also mean key press tamper according to the blurb.

Hi alan thanks for the info, by the way message does read Cb and not C6 SO MY APPOLOGIES to everyone, there are magnet door connectors and yes i have had a new door fitted last year, but sure it worked after new door was fitted, but i could be wrong as i've not used the alarm for ages.

I did take the cover off control box just to put another battery in which i think explains the cb, i will try setting it again tomorrow as it's late for the siren to be blaring out now, my neighbours won't be impressed (LOL) once again thanks for your help i will repost tomorrow to let everyone know how i go on.

shrugs shoulders in disbelief

for future information - the panel only shows the circuit number 1,2,3,etc not C 1,2,3 etc if it`s a zone in fault

but hey - what do I know

C6? or Cb?

I`d suspect the lids off the control unit

Sorry i meant CB i did remove cover of control panel to fit a new battery, but it is now securely back in place, i will try set again tomorrow and repost on how i get on, thanks for your help
