Hi all, I have moved into a house which has a rebel 8/9 (not sure which) alarm and need to rerun the keypad cable. The alarm has been set off previously as there are 2 red lights on the alarm.
The problem is I dont know the engineers code and need to rerun the keypad cable. The options I believe I have are....
Disconnect the keypad cable from the alarm box after switching power off and removing battery, and rerunning then reconnect. (alarm bell can then be switched off at keypad once reset.
I already have red lights so wont be any worse off.
or Is telephone cable the same as alarm cable (apart from colours)? As I though I could tee-in a new cable. Meaning connect to box and run then join to existing cable then cut away old cable meaning no connection is lost.
Yes there is another alternative which is call an expert.
thanks in advance
