meliat Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 Whilst in the house the alarm started making a noise like it why dying, I enter the pin code several times which when it finally accepted it, the whole system died and hasn't worked for months! This is a basic wall panel connected to a box in the electricity cupboard, what are the first steps of fault finding myself, I was thinking about getting a new battery? Any help would be gratefully appreciated. Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/24841-help-my-alarm-system-is-dead/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any help would be gratefully appreciated. hello & welcome product information is needed to have a hope of helping imagine your talking about a car not an alarm. we don't know the make, model, age or fault - would a new battey help it run = god knows. take pictures of the keypad you enter your code in and the panel in the cupboard if you don't know details.

hpotter Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 You'll be needing one of these then. http://www.securitywarehouse.co.uk/catalog...products_id=350 But It might be worth getting someone to look at it for you. might not be as expensive as you think?

Chorlton Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 how old is the battery? 3 years or over = get a new one. don't buy a cheap battery buy a "yuasa" brand one IMO. try the link to our site sponsor.
