Cahnufc Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
datadiffusion Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 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?

Cahnufc Posted August 5, 2019 Author Share Posted August 5, 2019 It’s a new build, so I know who installed it and I _think_ I have the engineer code in the paperwork. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you got code then depends on a how confident you are , most of us would do it all live Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
datadiffusion Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 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!

Cahnufc Posted August 5, 2019 Author Share Posted August 5, 2019 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?

datadiffusion Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixwheeledbeast Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 £150 including the keypad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
