Hi, hoping someone can help us! Recently moved in to a house with the above alarm system, which we have the code for. However, when the power goes off, the alarm sounds and we are unable to turn it off. This suggests that the battery is dead. Unfortunately the system has been wired into the ring mains! (All up and down sockets except the kitchen). We had to do some urgent work so needed to turn the power off.
We have the engineer and user guides, so decided to take off the front panel to go about replacing the battery. As expected this set off the tamper alarm, however the code would not turn it off. In the end we snipped the wires to the SAB and battery to silence it for the sake of our poor neighbours!
I am wondering about whether it's possible / a good idea to attempt to fix the alarm system by soldering the snipped wires and changing the batteries (internal box and outside unit). Am I right in thinking what we have done would effectively be a factory reset (this can usually be done using a jumper link, according to the engineer manual)?
If we do fix and replace batteries, is the alarm likely to continue straight away or should I be able to program according to the engineers manual? Any help appreciated, complete novice here as you can tell!
