Hi, I've just moved to a place with a 22 year-old C&K Securitech 700L alarm system installed, the main fuse had been pulled and there was no battery.  I've put a new battery in and reset the whole system, all zone sensors work and the user code activates the system entry/exit on the keypad, but both the internal and external sirens/strobe don't activate, is there anything else I can check?

 

Thanks in advance.

I would be concerned about the reliability of a decommissioned system especially at that age.

You could manually trigger them by applying voltage, it's possible they are faulty and/or have been disconnected at the device.

Thanks, I think the battery will be going back for a refund!

Although I agree with swb I wouldnt rush back to the shop just yet give it a test, it may have been decommissioned because the house was empty and the power was off a few years after it was installed, and never been used till now the sounders will probably not work due to someone decommissioning them at the sounder

If you are not great with a multimeter or electronics then it would be sensible to get an engineer to recommission it and check everything over.

Agree with above, plus #9 on some versions didn't actually fire the bell outputs. Test it properly and confirm
