LouisW Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Hi Perhaps someone has some idea of the problem, that can help. Our alarm went off a few weeks ago, while we were on holiday. The neighbor came in and reset using the PIN - panel showed a red light on zone 2. We have never then reset the panel, as the kids have been at home all day. Perhaps this was a mistake. Last night the alarm went off again - this time the panel showed a green light on the top icon - a short dash, with a small "squiggle" above it. All went off after a while. Then the control panel sounder activated, this time showing the green padlock icon. This morning, all is quiet except the panel is now showing the hammer icon - is this a break in sign? The manual is no help - all I want to do is reset the system and start over! I have noticed the control box, Scantonic 9448 under the stairs is flashing a green icon - maybe this is just showing it has power? Any help would be appreciated - especially for all my poor neighbors!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
datadiffusion Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 I would call a professional to disable and quote for replacement, this is a very old, obsolete system. As you can see it's biggest problem is that any faults are communicated in an obscure way, rather than the plain English text a replacement system would likely use. I suspect that at the very least you will need a new system battery. So, I've decided to take my work back underground.... to stop it falling into the wrong hands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swiftey Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 Hammer Icon = system Tamper flashing green light is a Power Fault The installer manual is easily available via the internet BUT.. if you don't know or not confident in what you are doing i would suggest you call an engineer to check your system Just because its old wont mean its not serviceable and a good engineer will be able to give you sound advice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
datadiffusion Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 Thanks for the post Swiftey, but the OP posted this a whole month ago and has never revisited the forum since that date. It would be great to introduce yourself in the...
