Scantronic 9000 series just powered off. Any help welcome?

Alarm went off a few times; at first unable to disarm with code; finally did. Few hours later, strange noise like police car for 20mins. or so and finally no power going through. What could be the problem?

Had an engineer who checked the battery, power, etc. and concluded the panel had died and we needed a new one - he recommended Scantronic 9651 to replace the old one.
Many thanks to all of you guys who tried to help. I felt it was quite complicated for me to handle.
Thank you all.

E & the Alarm LED means - Entry Alarm

E & the Tamper LED means - Entry Tamper

Get the idea?

E is the engineering prog,how did you get it on that?it could be the standby battery,but you need special tester to check it,no,a test meter wont do!get yourself a new 7 amp battery,check the mains power going into the panel via the spur,next check any fuses in the panel,with a test meter,just looking at them wont do,then get back to us

Ah, but what lights were showing? They tell a story also.

2 & Fault light together mean - Battery Fault

2 & Fault light together mean - Total power failure

There are others as well.

Keypad said 2 and 4 and E before it died completely. These were the pir nos.that would normally be shown as activated.
