Alarm goes off when unset

[kieron]

Hi all I have an ADE GEN 4 system

It's been installed for about 10 years.  Recently the alarm has been going off when unset. 

I'll enter my code and the screen reads 

12345678  TP

00000000  00

Prompted to enter  X and the system reads unset  . About 20 minutes later the alarm goes off again.  I'm sst here at 0500 waiting to see if it'll do it a third time

Any ideas?

Unfortunately I have made the master panel pretty unaccesble 

Under floor! 

All assistance very welcome

I was wondering.  The beĺl outside , might its battery need replacing ??

If 10 years no service or battery change, it's not might anymore , it's a must , provided no other damage has taken place 

 

But worth the try

Agreed. Control panel being inaccessible and unserviced is most likely the issue. That's if the system hasn't blown something in the meantime.
