last night I heard a noise from the panel, beeping I didn't know what it was, this is at my mothers house. I checked fuse in spur, that is fine, I have now pulled the fuse to stop the irratating noise. does this mean the battery inside the panel needs replacing? as far as I know it has never been replaced! the outside bell is not going off just the inside

not all panels have a nvm,this retains all settings in event of power failure,your panel is in the lower price bracket,
you get what you pay for,like all things.

thanks gts I wonder if the reason it happened, there might have been a surge or very small power cut? and because the battery was defunct it reset itself to the default code, which i havent put in, i will wait for new battery and hope for the best!

yes it should,so when you replace the battery,then reset the panel,it should be ok

yes gtsI thought this thank you, i have now ordered a new battery i have seen on other forums, that when the power goes the system reverts back to the original codes is this correct? i am hoping that when the new battery is connected it should right itself, but there seems to be technical things I'm not sure of, the one thing i can't understand is why it just started beeping!

the internal battery has a life of 4 to 5 years,so its a good guess you never had the alarm serviced.you shhould get it serviced once a year,
