C&K Securitec Alarm going off

[Phil mc]

Hello Guys, sorry I’m new to this. We have an old C023-203 alarm system. The alarm has been going off today, the alarm wasn’t set initially but was sounding. The alarm has now stopped but the light on the box is flashing outside, and the internal keypad has the mains light on, however nothing happens when buttons are pressed

Power cut , battery faulty ... replace battery or down power unit ( may require ladders )

Thanks, I have now discovered we had a power cut. I work nights so wasn’t aware of this happening, the key pad now just beeps when any button is pressed and the light is still flashing outside

Power down replace battery and it should be ok , been to loads that lock out when the battery is faulty

Thank you, is the battery in the siren box outside?

I just had similar issue. The box outside siren went off . It now stopped after 10min. Please tell me it won't go off again. All the wires to this alarm were cut off years ago .I don't use the alarm at all. Now the outside box is flashing yellow light no noise. The one inside the house is flashing a Orange light. Anyone please advise.
