Scantronic 9100

[stephen01436]

Our ageing alarm is monitored over a phone line but as we are away so much we are reliant on friends and family to reset the alarm if we are away. Ideally I would like to change the number the alarm dials out to my mobile and do away with the expensive monitoring service. I’m also trying to find out if I can reset this model remotely. Finally, is it possible to get a copy of the engineers manual?

Many thanks in advance for any help or advice.

Hello stephen

As the system is monitored, when you cancel the monitoring, you wont be able to use the communicator to dial out to your own numbers, so you'll need to fit your own speech dialler.

The 9100 cant be reset remotely.

Many thanks for your help. Having now obtained a copy of the instructions, (I'll send you a pdf of them if you wish) am I correct in saying this can be programmed to limit the actual time the alarm goes off for? Bell Time 42 then 5 for ten minutes.

Also, that the auto re-arm function will set the alarm once it has gone off after say, 10 minutes. I'm thinking I could limit this to 2 or 3 auto re-arms (just in case of genuine fault/ intruder) and fit a now dialer to alert me on my mobile.

It costs me over £340 pounds a tear plus the line rental and in 9 years I have had three false alarms!!

Just to take this a little further - as your system is monitored, I assume it is programmed as Engineer Reset (as it should be).

This parameter, like all the others are not a User option, they are all Engineer programmed. To be able to change anything you will have to know the Engineer code, do you?
Your alarm company will not give it to you as I expect it will be common to a lot of their systems.

The only alternative is to default and reprogramme the panel.
Without the Eng Code there is only one way to default this panel that information is in the manual. Easy for someone with the correct know how, but, for a novice (?).

Finally, you must be on a contract with your alarm company to have the system monitored, easy to get out of?

Pause for thought?

I'm one of the old skool

PS

As has been said your DC (Digital Communicator) is of no use as a Dialler for your requirements and would have to be removed.

If I remember correctly the DC will still be owned by your Alarm Co, they are/were not allowed to sell that type of equipment they have to retain ownership, so they should want it back (or not).

There are ways to do what you want to do using outputs supplied via relays to Speech Diallers but the best way would be to use a 'plug-on' relay board that would take the place of your existing DC, if you can find one that is, Scantronic pt no. 9075 if my memory is correct.

More to think about.

Getting older by the minute.

9100 is fairly easy to default if the outgoing company is not helpful.
If they want the signaling equip back when they collect ask for your ENG code to be fitted or the default.

Solid panel, had one myself one.
