If the Tamper light is on and the panel bleeps 9 times an extended display reveals more information about the source of the tamper fault(s). To toggle between the normal display and the extended display press Omit. The extended display is distinguished from the normal display by the Unset light being off.

I'll leave you to find out the rest

Amazing isnt it, the manual comes with the panel. Is freely available on the net.
Yet some halfwit cannot be bothered to read it or do basic testing.
Nor seem to accept a professionals advice.

As it says at the bottom of the page. "In many instances work should only be undertaken by a qualified professional" obviously too difficult to read the manual.

Second time.

Direct quote from Veritas manual >>

"Unit will not set and bleeps nine times.
The system has a tamper fault ................"

Believe it or not we know what we're talking about.

It's your fault finding abilities that are lacking.

Ask 8 more times, then look in the book of words.
9 beeps as indicated mean something.
I wish sparks would keep to themselves when alarm systems are concerned. And YES I am qualified too before you wet yourself.
Same goes for Fire and CCTV and Access, FFS if you know nothing dont mess with it!

And, to ad a R8 isnt a major system. It is basic, my sons can programme one in 5 mins.
