:shock: Ive been nothing more than polite, listened to peoples advice and thanked them on every occassion.....who has decided amongst you "click" that I have not understood explanations or or acted on peoples advice :?: Jesus..........if this is the nature and attitude on the Forums, i...

Thanks again for your response and your advice. I have a PDf copy of the 9800 Installation and User Guide and I think it is a good document for offering technical specification of its hardware but it fails as a good guide for programming. It guides you "robot like" through the process of...

:oops: The FINAL ENTRY and FINAl EXIT are going to be these settings I would assume :?: :oops: If I plan on entering and exiting the house via the front door, would I set the door contact Cct to both FINAL ENTRY and FINAL EXIT :?: :?: If I plan on using the rear door as a entry...

Ok, I think I understand. :oops: 1.Out of interest what makes using a PIR as opposed to a door contact bad practice :?: In one possible scenario, if I removed my Door contact, should I open the front door the PIR would break its contact. I would then have xx seconds to get to my keypad to...

Evening All, So I have redesigned my alarm layout slightly and will need to reprogram my Scantronic 9800 to accomodate 3 additional circuits before I reinstall this weekend. Does the following setup look sensible? Keypad will be just inside front door, so system is set for entry time of...

Yes it does, but it introduced a "tr" tamper return fault on the system :!: :?:

I currently have the system "stable again", I ended up disconnecting the battery and removing 230VAC power to reset the keypad, this has cleared the r1 alarm and has allowed me to operate the system as normal again. The r4 is most definitley the tamper switch (SW1) on the keypad. Because the...

I have just found out that putting the Scantronic System in to engineering mode does not appear to disable the tamper siren on the SAB unit.... :shock: :cry: "Bug*er" :wink: Off to cut myself a wire link :D :D Linking the H+ (12v) to the ENG terminal silenced the siren & stopped the...

Good evening to all those who have offered me advice/guidance over the last week (Sparkymarka, Alarm & Europlex). I have done some initial tests and I believe I now have a operational Scantronic 9800 alarm system. I fitted a new 12V Sealed Lead Acid Battery Type c20. This cleared the (bF)...

Alarm, I am 99% certain the keypad had all the switches in the off position, down (will check again tomorrow morning). I think this indicates "No Address"? There was only ever one keypad on my system when I inherited it.

Ok Noted :wink: , this is my first Forum so unsure of etiquette. :oops: Certainly not ignoring anyones opinion, its all been good stuff :idea: :idea: Question? but would I have got Josh451 input on the previous (my original thread), this thread being noted as Zoning query, original thread...

Josh451, thanks for your input, information on the zoning will be most useful. So to confirm, you cannot have a PIR as your front door entry/exit cct, it has to be a contact block. Sorry, but I am still struggling to understand the purpose of what you call the the Full and Part sets.(A,B & C)...

As can be seen from previous posts I am currently attempting to re establish an inherited Scantronic 9800 alarm system, decommissioned some years ago. I am slowly getting my head around the operations of the Keypad (Series 3200) What I am now trying to get straight in my head is the zoning...

Europlex, thanks for your input & codes :) Unless I have a fault with my display, but lower case r and 4 is being displayed (zoom in on one of my 3 pictures, you can see it faintly), from what I have now read from a 9800 User Guide (downloaded PDF) r1 - r4 (Remote Keypad Back Tamper), I...

:D Yeah, only had two drums of multistranded black and red, looks a mess but all labelled up so I know what the score is. All the existing cables still in situ around the home so should I be able to make the test system operate again it will not be too much trouble to reinstall....anyway, will...

I have created a SCANTRONIC 9800 album which contains pictures of my test system, this may help you identify my equipment(s). It sounds like I cannot go much further with my tests until I get my hands on a new battery. I will pick one up on Tuesday. Any further comment regard the...
