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.

If you came here looking for advice from experts, I think you may be disappointed. 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...

Yeah I dont know anyone with a 30 year old TV or a 5 year old mobile phone, yet people moan when their alarm is obsolete after 15 years

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)

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

LOL, I had the exact same job last year, householder to be fair was happy on phone it probably wasn't our alarm but wanted me to attend anyway as it needed to be found, it was exactly that

even though we'd fitted an RF Aico CO so it wasn't even needed.

So, I've decided to take my work back underground.... to stop it falling into the wrong hands

Im sorry to have to tell you this Paul, but those old £1.00 notes are no longer legal tender.

You mean Banks won't accept them? I think they still look for some of the money from the brinks jobby

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 :)

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.

You probably don't even earn £2k per year. It usually bulls##tters like you who mouth off about how much you got in ya wallet that got nothing

I didn't say I had £2k in my wallet I just said it would fit, as opposed to your idea of £2k filling a suitcase which it wouldnt (unless it was a very small suitcase) Your the only numb nut round here that's compensating for the lack of something.

I can understand that James. I don't always agree with the guys he's abusive to, but they're all good knowledgeable & professional engineers who give their time freely and don't deserve the abuse.
