Richardmlees, The Alarm must be on a Unswitched fused spur protected with a 3AMP fuse. The Spec of wire should be atleast 2.5mm Twin + Earth. (You could use flex cable if the distance from mains is not long) Please do not attempt the moving of panel if you are not competent in Electrics...

Hi Joe, Thanks for your reply. infact I overhauled my old scantronic 9800+ only last year, giving it a good old service and also replaced the battery (Yuasa 7.0AH) with a new one. So I doubt it very much that the battery is the problem. Infact I also replaced one of the PIRs with a new one...

Hello, I'm about to replace my home PIRs for new ones as i've recently started getting a few false alarms for no apparent reason. I am considering the Texacom Prestige range, but unsure which one to go for. Is the Prestige Quad better/ more reliable than Prestige Twin Dual element? They...

Thanks d4719, I'LL give that a try. Failing that I may just replace it with the same type Thanks again regards

Hello, My old stop cock which turns off the mains (under the kitchen sink) is leaking and I,m about to replace it. I have turned off the mains supply outside, but unsure whether I should replace the leaking stop cock with the Ball lever stop valve. Can I fit a ball lever valve instead of...

Thank you, will do that regards

Hi Alarm, sorry should have been more clearer. yes, 1.00 ohm with nothing connected, twisted the tmpr pair at PIR end & checked continuity at panel end. I Opened the PIR (Pyronix Magnum True Quad) after almost 10 years to change the pulse count. After a few days had the TF on it. strange...

Hello, I just have a general question about my Tamper Circuit on my Scantronic 9800+ System. Its programmed to set off the internal sounder only, if a tamper fault is detected when Unset. I presume if a tamper fault is detected when the system is set, it will generate a full alarm, is that...

You're the man Europlex! :D It worked! Silly me for not looking at the user Manual :oops: I flicked through the install manual several times, and all this time the answer was in the user Manual! Thank you very much Europlex, you've made my day!!! regards

Hello, I just overhauled/serviced my 9800+ panel,i.e Powered Down, changed battery & replaced old external sounder. On powering up, everything is fine, except that the chime on the front door (zone 1) has dissappeared. I have checked the programming, the chime attribute is programmed into...

Hi Oasis, I was away. Unfortunately I didn't recieve the keypad, I have checked with my local post depot, but no luck. :cry: Anyway please let me know how much I owe you for the keypad, as I wish to reimburse you for it. I appreciate your kind gratitude, and if you still have another one of...
