Good Evening

I have inherited a Scantronic 9448+ plus alarm system at the new house. When I try to set the alarm, Zone 2 would light up. When the alarm was NOT set the sensors in Zone 2 would flash. These are shock sensors.

I replaced the sensors in Zone 2 but as I was changing the last one, the alarm panel went off/blew a fuse and the external sounder was going off.
I replaced a fuse in the control panel but I couldn't enter any codes. The user code or engineer code wouldn't enter. I had backlights but keypad wouldn't work.

Would I be better off replacing this panel with something more modern? Or is it easy to fix?

Thanks

First point ....they may be wired to detector reset output ...and will show as zone 2 for about 15 secs....did you wait to see if alarm would set ?
Flashing in the day would be normal in this way
Have you tried 1234 code as the panel may have defaulted
 
Is that normal/correct for it to be wired that way then?

I will have a look after work this afternoon. I disconnected the main power to it. I will attach a picture later of the board for you to take a look at if that is ok?

Another thing I noticed, There are 2 blue wires not connected labelled as E/E, should these be connected.

Thanks for the help
 
The E/E is the entry zone ...has the property had a new door fitted and the contact removed ?

Zone 2 is back door, side window, and lounge X2. All shock sensors.

Zone 1 is front door, bathroom, and bedrooms. Front door and Bathroom has the shocks replaced with the 2 part magnetic contacts.

So as far as I can see all entry points have a contact in place.
 
Much appreciate the time and help. I will get a photo this evening after work.

Thanks
 
Hi Sparky

Attached are images of the panel. Anything else you need?

That looks a total mess ...wired in BT cable ....how many cables come into that panel ?
 
Do you think it would be best to get a new panel? Or rip all the wiring out and a full new system?

Thanks
 
I would rip it out and start again ...

Oh!! We were hoping to keep this wired system due to having the shock sensors as these will go off before a forced entry. Even if it meant just keeping the wiring from each of the window/door contacts and putting a new panel in.

Might have to go for a wireless with only door contacts and a couple of PIR.
