I have a veritas installed and has always worked perfectly until we had a power failure. when power came back, the alarms went off, they would not respond to the codes until I had to remove the fuses. Since then it has developed a new chime and the strobe outside is flashing white all the time 24/7. any help is greatly appreciated.

Nick your a puppy :D

Err I think its a battery issue myself and your all wrong.

Hi GTS, i tell you why they dont think of the battery, is because all the ones i go out to say to me, how can it be the battery when its rechargeable. Which is one of the many reasons why i love Scantronic, apart from being fantastic panels, As you know it comes up Battery missing, and we switch the tamper engineer reset on just to make sure i get the call.
This week ive been out to a Scantronic 8136 and a 9448+ both very hot because of batteries,
The battery from the 8136 was so hot i couldnt hold it, and i let the customer touch it just to high-light the need to service her system.
And a note to the general public.

If I had the time & patience, I'd check all of the 4038 questions here & work out the percentage where BATTERY is the answer.

Bet it's about 90% though

Now, come on N, you're being stupid.

Didn't you know that every one of the 4038ish questions asked here are UNIQUE?

acorn, June 2011

Lol another member of the public that thinks their alarm dosent need a service,
Jacob this question has been answered so many times its rather BORING

N, June 2011

Again, again, again, again, ...............
