Stephen Burman Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephen Burman Posted July 19, 2016 Author Share Posted July 19, 2016 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 , Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al-yeti Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
