Another brainwave,

Remenber when you took off the remote keypad cover , this also has a tamper switch fitted, Check that the cover, the one that holds in the buttons is correctly in place.

Thanks again lads, yes you're right Jim. I've now refixed keypad and tamper light has gone out. tried to set alarm to test, walked past PIR, it started buzzing. Did this for a while then went off, didn't set off bell outside. I haven't touched the bell outside and not in a position to as just out of hospital. I thought I'd cracked it when tamper light went out. Now the only light on is the unset one. Are we getting there?
Thanks again.

Hi

Your are doing fine , we will crack this thing need a bit more information though

Is the alarm in the unset condition, if so open your front door type in your code
the panel should beep to you and you should see zone 1 led on.
Close front door from inside , the panel should time out after say 30 seconds.

Give it a try.

To check out bell box do the followingf from the unset condition:

Test Sounders &
Strobe
Enter Your Code
Press Prog
Enter 05

Press 3 (Internal Sounder)
Press Reset


Press 2 (Strobe)

Press Reset

Press 1 (Bell)

Thanks again to both of you. Did what you said but no sound. Set alarm and triggered it off. It works. When you set it, it makes a series of beeps. It used to then go into a faster beep ,but doesn't do that now, but it is working and I've learned something too. Many thanks. We'll sleep tonight!

Good work

The faster beeeps only sound when you are coming in, they warn you that there is only 10 seconds left for you to enter your code

Remember you still have to replace the battery in the control panel to prevent the panel locking up again

12Volts, 3.0 Ampre Hour battery will do fine


Cheers
