Hi,

 

I have a ScanTronic 9651 installed and all working fine, but the cover flap on the keypad (9941) has broken off and my toddler likes to go and press the buttons!

 

I’ve had a look through the installation guide, but I’m puzzled on what process I would follow to replace the keypad, avoiding tamper alarms etc.

 

Can anyone help or is it a case of getting the pro’s in?

 

thanks

Carl

 

 

 

 

Hi Carl, you will need to know the engineer number - are you in contact with your original installer or did you install it yourself / inherit the system with a new house?

It’s a new build, so I know who installed it and I _think_ I have the engineer code in the paperwork.

If you got code then depends on a how confident you are , most of us would do it all live 

It is unlikely the engineer code would be written down - except - when a builder puts it in I suppose.

 

Once you think you've found it, enter it on the keypad, you *might* have to proceed it with zero, e.g 0 + code (so you're entering 5 digits in total) but try without first.

 

If it says 'INSTALLER MODE' on the screen, you've got the engineer code!

Thanks-I’ll give that a try. Just out of interest (and if I’m not that confident ;-) ), what kind of ball park cost should I be looking at to get a pro to replace the keypad?

It will really vary by area and competence, an SSAIB / NSI installer will quite properly charge in the region of £300 I imagine.

 

However, if you were to use a non-approved firm (this does not mean they will do a bad job) it could be half that. I would certainly allow for an absolute minimum of £140-150.

 

But, by changing it to a 9943 keypad you can stop using codes and use plastic fobs, which is a nice upgrade (you don't have to alter anything on the main unit) and you'll never have to open the keypad flap again!

Imagine that, I wish I could charge that much LOL, closer to the £150.00 for an NSI Gold here

£150 including the keypad?
