JTP90 Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 Hi all. Had a couple view our house with an estate agent and they touched the alarm box near the door (the one with the 4x c batteries in). This set off the alarm so they called me and then inputted the code to disarm. This worked but when ive got home the panel now says "ALARM ZONE 5" with two orange lights. Ive tried doing a reset with both the engineers code and my code but it says "CANNOT RESET". Ive also tried killing the mains power and disconnecting the back up battery but when it comes back on it still wont allow a reset and still says the alarm zone 5 with the lights (theres no alarm sound going off however). Basically i want to reset the system and clear the panel back to normal but this problem is persisting. Any ideas what i can do? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixwheeledbeast Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 No alarm component I know has 4x C batteries, that is most likely a doorbell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrHappy Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 In the 1990's a 9600 would have been fitted a house that worth a few quid... Get your hand in your pocket & pay for someone to replace it .. you cheap git.... Quote Mr Veritas God Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterJames Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 probably pressed the panic button, put the key in and turn it till the little window goes green. Just a note, if your selling your house its likely that the buyers solicitor will ask about service history, and certificates for the alarm. Its probably not a deal breaker but anything that cam put your buyers off in this climate is not good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imnotshankled Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 Just because its old it doesn't need replacement if it's tested and serviced it doesn't need replacing unless it fails I find that most estate agents don't give a **** about the alarm system working or not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixwheeledbeast Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 I have known it to be used as leverage to lower the asking price. It sounds like unmaintained skip fodder TBH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
