Hi , im new to this forum 

my names Steve by the way , this weekend i went away come back to the House open the door and there was no burglar alarm tone ... which i thought was strange , 

only to find out my electric had ran out ! my fault i know for not checking before i left, the problem i have now is that there are no lights on my key pad, when i press the keys the ligha light iup and make a tone noise, but thats it , i cant set the alarm like before i left the house, i cant see its the battery back up as its only happened because my electricity cut off whilst i was away for the weekend >

any advice would be greatly appreciated

Thanks in advance

Steve 

Hi steve it will be the battery backup, down power the system remove the battery, power back up

Hi thanks to your response,

forgive my knowledge about Alarms Ha Ha 

but what does down power mean ? also do i need to take out the fuse ?

thanks again

Completely remove all power to the unit, isolating mains supply and battery.

ooooo a bit harsh....... CEF are proud of their alarms.... Every time we go in there they try and sell us one.... My response is always "why are you using a scantronic if your's are so good"

i dont think ill be chucking it in a skip, after all i think the battery backup has been depleted, so therefore  , i think ill disconnect the power supply  take out the battery and charge it up , and see what happens from there ! the whole alarm system is only 18 months old , 

May just required a reset , but if the battery was faulty which can happen, full discharge may have  damaged the battery during the self inflicted power cut , better to take it out buy a replacement
