Problems with British Gas alarm

Catslovelycats

I know ultimately I need to get an engineer out, but thought I'd ask anyway:

Last night, the alarm panel box started going off inside and said there was a fault on the landing. After I keyed in our code the noise stopped. The trouble light stayed on.

This morning there are no lights on the alarm at all. The clock is working, so presumably it's not lack of power causing no light.

I had all the batteries in the monitors replaced last year along with the battery in the main box, so I assume it's not a battery problem (plus the fault isn't listed as a low battery).

So the questions are:
1. Any ideas what might have caused the lights to go out?
2. What the fault on the landing might be (and whether it's costly)?
3. If I leave the alarm as it is and don't use it, will it be OK or is the alarm likely to do weird things (like go off etc!)?

Any ideas/suggestions appreciated so I can think about what I want to do before calling an (expensive) engineer.

Thanks!

well, the trouble light is on again as was the alarm in the keypad box.
I now won't want to leave the house in case it goes off again.
anyone any ideas?
I've googled this alarm but find very little online that I am able to access, not being in the trade!
(PS the pad is kp5500z)

If you know the model number of the alarm, you can download the full manual from the manufacturers website:
