hi can anyone give me any advice , i recently changed the battery on the control panel after electrics where switched off for a job and the control panel locked out . since then and before this there has never been any trouble. i tried to change the siren/strobe box outside as this was not working , i turned off electrics and removed the battery and all fine, removed outside box and fitted a ade reson8 box but when i came to do wiring like for like i had a strobe + wire which comes from the control panel but has no place to go in the reson8 box? when i change the link to battery charge the alarm sounds constantly ? can anyone help to tell me whether i have to link this strobe + wire to something else , also the control panel is in lock down and even when following the installers instructions on removing memory to factory reset there is nothing , no response from keypad  hope someone out there can help many thans gaz
