I moved into my house four years ago, which has the above alarm system. The vendor said that he'd never used the alarm and he had bought the house new in 1998, i.e. the house is now 13 years and I've not used the alarm either.
This afternoon I heard this strange noise and it turned out to be the internal alarm of the 9448+. The tamper light was also glowing. There's a wall fuse unit next to the alarm but when I opened it and removed the fuse it just kept on sounding. Thankfully I have the handbook but I couldn't find any way to fix things. Eventually the alarm stopped sounding but when I touched the side of the unit, it sounded again for about another ten minutes before stopping again. I don't want to tempt providence by touching the unit again so have left well alone!
I suspect the battery. I have no codes so I'm suspecting it's never been programmed. What I don't want is for the alarm to sound when I'm away from the house, especially if the outside alarm decides to sound also.
Anyone got any ideas about all of this?
Cheers, Martin.
