Pat83 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 I have a Scantronic 9448 alarm system, it looks very old and was in the house when I bought it last year. Recently the internal alarm has been going off and the tamper light coming on. I have read that this could be a battery problem but when I open the box there is no battery. Can I just disconnect the power to stop the alarm going off randomly u til I get a new system put in?

More or less yes If there's a bellbox outside it may die quickly , or ring for 20 mins Worst case ladder hammer Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/44228-scantronic-9448-how-to-disconnect/#findComment-506576 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat83 Posted November 25, 2020 Author Share Posted November 25, 2020 I've thought about the bellbox as I've no ladder so I don't want it going off. But I've had the power (trip switch) off/on recently moving plug sockets and the outside alarm never sounded, would that suggest it won't go off when I disconnect the power completely? I appreciate your reply, thanks.
