Problem here is the installer could have used any colour for the connections. You will have to look in the main control unit and see what terminals the cables go to in there.
thanks looked at main control panel but i cant see how that helps me to connect the ones in the keypad what should i look for please

thankyou done that how is the best way to connect battery as connected keypad and alarm going off with f4 coming on keypad please advise much appreciated
On this system you must connect the mains first, then the battery, close panel lid, enter your code to silence any alarms.
if you power-up without a battery fitted, the sounder may sound for 30 seconds as a battery test is performed.
if you aint set-up for engineers reset, then you should be ok from here
F4 means battery fault btw, so connect as above

Well it could be a few things.
How old is the battery, more than 5 years, if yes, change it.
if the battery aint that old, it might just need time to charge.
If you've let the battery fully discharge, it may be damaged, and will need replacing
Could also be the charging circuit fuse has blown.
you will need a meter to check the above tbh.

hi changed battery but alarm going off all the time.when u say connect mains first what does this mean do i turn off electric mains then put battery in then close panel and then enter code on panel or keypad hope u can help as instead of f4 on keypad now have no 8.i did put battery in and alarm went of all time and when i typed code in wouldnt go off does it matter whether i connect negative or positive first many thanks
Yes thats the power-up procedure for a down-powered system.
If the system is disconnected then follow the instructions above, it dont matter what way you connect the battery, but, make sure the polarity is correct, red to red, black to black.
close the panel lid and enter your code to silence the alarm.
Reset with your code if required.
I not sure about that event code tbh, you sure its 8.i, could be a zone event but not 100% sure, would have to check.
Do you have the engineer code for the system, if not try the 1111# this will let you open the panel lid if the system was already powered.
Remember to just take your time, think about what your doing and dont rush just because the bells are going.

I'm sorry, not trying to be nasty or rude in any way, but, if you have to ask that question, there is no way you should be 'playing' with your alarm system.
Electricity is dangerous, get an alarm engineer in.
