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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More or less yes If there's a bellbox outside it may die quickly , or ring for 20 mins Worst case ladder hammer Quote Link to comment 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
