Wanna Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 Hi, I'm at home and my scantronics 9200 is going off every 30 minutes. It's not really going off off. It's crackling through the internal alarm sound system and its beeping a few times. Then stops. Any ideas what is wrong with it? If I were to unplug the mains fuse to the alarm would it just go off using the battery. Help, can't sleep, but also can't do anything without landlord permission and they can't be contacted until tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially when you get smart comments from Mr Blobby above .. Paul the panel has failed, it cira 30 yrs old If it had been serviced properly it may have lived longer.... However I suspect its probably never got used, as the keypad would have probably given out some yrs ago. Alarms is very odd trade, people are happy to rip out 30yr old block paving but amazed I can't get them a keypad for 30 yrs old alarm... 2 Quote Mr Veritas God Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I dont know anyone with a 30 year old TV or a 5 year old mobile phone, yet people moan when their alarm is obsolete after 15 years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrHappy Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 Glad you back Paul, really did miss you 1 hour ago, Paul A said: Maybe the problem is your smoke alarms going off.. very common you know haha.. Happened many times, I'm more than happy to send a man & an invoice... but I've always asked people to be certain the beep is coming from the alarm & not smoke alarm. Personally I've had been told there's no smoke alarms in the house only to attend & find a pair still in the packet from B&Q which have being waiting a couple of years for the home owner to fit Found a "Free" British Gas Co3 alarm in roll top desk, beeping with low battery, I also get lots of OAP's complaining about the "Free" battery powered smokes beeping (fitted by the fire brigade) 1 hour ago, Paul A said: Mr Blobby can do it for about 4 grand Couple of hundred quid to renew a basic house alarm on the old cables Smoke alarms have a recommend life of 10 yrs, to replace a pair of mains powered smokes cira £100 as booked work 2 Quote Mr Veritas God Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixwheeledbeast Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 Fireangel have had a massive amount of battery failures within a couple of years from there 10 year ones. Fire brigade stopped fitting them for a while as one caught fire in Hull somewhere I believe? Replaced a good few with Aico 10 year ones for people.

datadiffusion Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 30 minutes ago, Paul A said: rediffusion, if its some elderly people you go out to, and find it's a problem with smoke alarms instead of burglar alarms. Then just a have a laugh about it, and don't charge them, and go to next job. Simples. But I bet you charge them a couple of hundred quid, then laugh about it ... Funny old thing, but customer was fully aware of the charge before I even left the office, more than happy to pay me, and we did indeed have a laugh about it, so no need to overly concern yourself. Still, I'm sure you can find more time in your busy schedule later on, to make up some more stories about other people on a forum you've no connection with and are generally disliked on 1 Quote 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...

datadiffusion Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 Where my Dad lives a few plumbers are now only doing boiler/gas work only due to the influx of have-a-go 'maintanance / project' startups run by middle class oafs burning through redundancy money, doing it for £15 an hour. The only people making money are the tilers and plasterers they inevitably have to sub to, and the sh1t plumbers that are carrying on by passing £500 bills to old grannies for changing a tap washer. Ultimately, the customer loses in the end, if a fair amount isn't charged.
