Can anyone tell me If there is a way of resetting my alarm. It was triggered by the livingroom PIR by the cat. The key pad has shut itself off and I cannot seem to enter any codes. Do I need enter the main panel? It is a fairly old system going back to at least 1995.
How do I reset a Scantronic Burglar Alarm?

91, lovely panel ( for its day)
you mean
oh wonder why its still in a bag?
yes its genuine, wonder if scantronic want it back?
anyway, as you have had it for so long, i presume you have changed nothing? (neither has anyone else?)
in which case as its not working, is the mains led on? how old is its battery? needs changing every 5 years max
check its fuses
what exactly happened?

my guess? - alarm went off, you couldn`t stop it so turned mains off
The photo you attach is the very alarm panel I have! I do have a single green light on yes, just indicating power to the panel, but the buttons are not beeping when I press them. The panel keeps sounding off whenever the entry door is opened. As I say any views on how to reet the alarm would be great. I have had no problems at all with the alarm since this false activation so I am reluctant to change it.

I would guess the battery is on its way out.
any way, try this
down power it, mains and battery
re power it battery first then mains
(if nothing happens when you put battery back, battery has had it

did you down power / re power it?
(also try 1234, when re powered)

power it all down, wait 30secs then power it up MAINS only with the AUX and BELL disconected, if it doesn`t boot up you`ll need to do a complete power cycle involving the removal of the IC memory chip.

that is good for the 98 and 96, nothing wrong with trying it though
S
saxondale
no thats the correct procedure for ANY locked panel
B

no it isnt, it does say that for the 96 and 98.
lets agree to dissagree, although it may be mains first not battery on the scantronic

because the "out rush" of current being drawn by anything connected to the + - supply can cause the panel not to work, the transformer can not always cope, that is why you connect the battery first.
I will also admit that on some panels this does not work, because if the battey voltage fallls below 10v the panel cuts it off, so connecting a battery first does not work, but its only some, not all panels
