Hi all,

I have just purchased a house that seems to have a pretty good alarm system, theres movement detectors all through the bottom floor and on the landing, a panic button at the bottom of the stairs and some white things on the doors (don't know what they're called) but there's one problem - it's not working!

I called up a local firm today who were very friendly but I described what I had and they said they didn't recognise it - I can't find any manuals and don't have a camera I can upload with at the minute, with the move and everything still being in boxes.

The key pad has numbers 0-9, "Yes", "No", "Part" and "Escape". There's a flap that opens and says "For further information consult operation manual" (Which I obviously don't have). The bell outside says ASL.

Can anyone help identify it?

a picture of the keypad would help. do you have a camera on your phone if so use that and upload here using the 'more reply options' button

Unfortunately not, I might just leave it a few days until I've got everything unpacked

Abacus?

I'll go with Abacus, although it's not possible to tell which model exactly from your description (I'd hazard a guess at the 6/14 with it being a domestic). Does the keypad have an LCD screen? They're decent panels, so all it should require is a service and re-program. Do you live in the North West by any chance?

Its an Abacus, Look on the bellbox for the installers details

Yeah, The Wirral - how'd you guess?, but it's not an Abacus 6-14.... I had one of those in a flat I rented out a few years back. Yes the keypad has an LCD - a green one.

Oh right, I get you... the companies called Abacus Securities Limited... Thanks vey much I'll call them tomorrow )

It could be an Ab 8 or 15 or 12 they had oblong keypads the 614 had a soap dish shape
