haha indeed. ok i'll give it a go this weekend once i confirm the battery type.

 

obviously very subjective but how much should a annual maintenance contract cost for such a system?  once i look for a company, i want to ensure it isn't unreasonable in price!

i was quoted by one company £15 per month and 2 or 3 year minimum term. I'd hope for that price it covers cost of replacement parts.

Won't cover all parts be serious man 

 

But will give you peace of mind

Thanks for the help lads.  Replaced battery and everything back to normal.

 

For anyone else that comes across this, it is fairly simple to replace the battery.

1. Get up to the siren
2. Lift up the little plastic flap covering the screw
3. If battery still has some juice, it will trip the tamper, else nothing will sound
4. You can lift the PCB up and out of the housing fairly easy if want to replace on the ground (good design Pyrnoix!)
5. Replace the battery in the white plastic housing
6. No learning procedure required
7. Slide the PCB housing back into the main siren housing
8. Note, the tamper may trip (it is the little contact relay at the front).  Hold it down if bothered by the noise
9. Lower flap, put screw back on
10. Set alarm, trip and test siren sounds

So can the siren be deleted from the panel ,

and will that stop the siren tamper or not ?

if its not coomunicating then it wont go off again, however the siren may self actuate with a panel instruction if its tamper switch keeps operating

I would say it would stop the panel tamper activating but not the sounder from alarming
