Scantronic alarm?

Hello all hope you can help?.

Had an engineer out a fortnight ago now who replaced a sensor and the batteries,today I came home today to find it beeping and displaying 'ZONE TEST FAILED' and can't reset or clear the message or set it.

I spoke to the engineer who wants £120 to sort it,i'am hoping your advice can lead me to fix this myself . thanks in advance .

I set the scantronic alarm 9800 to go to bed but it set off after two /three hours. I ran down to set it off and see code C2 on the key board. Could anyone help me why that is?

what an ignorant sod you are zippo,if you have to come back to this site,dont count on any help from gts ,you have no manners

please let me know how you get on zippo,to leave a zone on soak test is not very nice,and you cannot do it by accident,

its an old system,but a very good one

its his way of getting more dosh from you ,shame on him get another guy out to reset the panel,not that crook

did not mean to sound rude,but we get asked so many questions regarding alarms but get no info ,like the make or model,this info helps ,

err,out 2 weeks ago,replaced batts and a sensor,now the panel say zone test failed ???one zone has been put on a soak test,this means if its tripped it will log the fault but cause no alarm,we norm do this to test a zone for faulse alarms,so you "nice"engineer must have left it on soak test,and guess how long its on for ??14 days
