We had a power cut and the alarm went off. This stop eventually but now we have no power to the control panel. We have recharged battery and still nothing so I purchased a new battery but still no lights. I have a accenta alarm system please help!

you will need to open the control panel as you will no doubt find that the internal fuse located beneath the main power connection has blown and needs replacing an alarm can not power up on just the battery thats purely a back up when the power is down failing that there should be a unswitched fused spur adjacent to the panel the fuse in there may have blown and simply need replacing the only thing to bear in mind is that the non volitile memory may have been affected thus reseting your master code to the factory default which i believe to be 1234 or 0000
