Can't remember seeing a reset switch on the pcb's on these Curtis,

Are you sure you haven't got your pannle's mixed up mate ?

I am pretty sure someone will correct me if aim wrong?,

Do I need new glasses?,hope not as their rather expensive.

inside the pannle if you look you will see a reset button click that the alarm may go off but put your code in then it will work

Thanks for your help, I`ll try that.

Start by replacing the control backup battery,

Check the sounder/strobe fuse on the panels pcb,

if strobe continues to run after the above, then the outside sounder will need replacing due to water penetration.

I strongly suggest you remove mains power from the panel before you remove it's cover.
