I have a Scantronic 9449 hardwired system using EE plus 5 pir controlled zones. Recently, after many years I changed the battery (a power cut confirmed that the battery was useless) but since then I have been unable to set the alarm. Nothing shows on the panel except the power light but when I set the alarm I get flashing zones 6 and 7 (which are unused) and instead of setting normally the alarm then sounds and has to be cancelled. Any suggestions as to how I could fix this gratefully received!

your welcome.

Problem solved! Programming commands worked so very many thanks for helping to get my system working again.

Cheers.

and you owe no apology to anyone,jon,you are free to ask wherever or who ever you like .

one last thing,to get out of the engineering prog,key in 99 enter,

gts, April 2011

is ok jon,its better to stick to one forum,then you can come back with any probs,the engineering code as from factory is 07890,if its been changed then come back.

Thanks for the detailed reply. I'll have a go at the reprogramming - hopefully this will solve my problem. Sorry about the double posting - just wanted to maximise the probability of getting an answer! I have posted on other fora before and not got a single reply.

anyway jon,i hope my reply helped you

gts, April 2011

but as alarm guy says,you should stick to the one forum,makes it easier to give you the reply you need,you must understand,we give our time for free,we help as much as we can,but when people ask us for the answer,and we give it,bearing in mind us guys on here have over ,or nearly a 100 years experience between us,we do get a bit p...ed off when our answers are just ignored,so,please forgive us if you get a short or terse reply,its up to you guys to ask the right questions,and give ALL relevent info,not just ,my panel wont reset,what can i do,we cant read minds,we know you know what panel you have,but,we dont,do you get my drift?

gts, April 2011

if you need any more info,come back

gts, April 2011

thats key in 0,not o,ok?

gts, April 2011

go into the engineering mode,key in 06#then key in o,now press #to store the new zone (not used) do the same for the other zone you wish to mark not used

gts, April 2011

Cya then.

Its just insulting asking on every site going getting the same answers and still ignoring whats been said.

And believe me putting in two links is easier than you running around programming, and nothing to go wrong.

I haven't got an answer I can use yet and name-calling doesn't help. I made both postings at the same time and I am asking 'experts' because I am not one. I don't have the knowledge to start fiddling with alarm wire in the box. It was suggested the system needs re-programming which I could do so that's the information I need.

Anyway, sorry to have bothered you 'experts' on this forum. I won't bother again.

Jon, April 2011

Do as they said in the other forum, link them out.


Same answer whereever you post isnt it.
Why ask experts and then ignore them.

I think I can get into engineering mode but don't know how to define the unused zones to eliminate them.

Jon, April 2011

do you have the engineering code?
