Hoping someone can help, the alarm has been driving me me mad all day.
The system was installed about 6 years ago and this morning it started going off continuously so found a like for like battery at Screwfix and swapped it out as it seemed this would be the issue.
After swapping it the alarm sounds constantly, the only way to get it to reduce frequency is to use the master/engineer code, it doesn't respond to my code at all, and it's still beeping in the same way it does when the power goes out with the tamper light on.
I've checked it multiple times, tried power resetting it several times and nothing fixes it. There's no issues with the sensors, nothing flags when trying to get it to do a walk test and I can't figure out how to fix it at all.
The beeping is driving me insane to the point where I'm going to have to find a way to disconnect it or find somewhere else to sleep tonight if I can't fix it. Are there any other suggestions of things I can try to fix it?

Is this just a two-tone beep once every couple of minutes?

Tamper fault could be sounder, zone wiring or keypad / panel tamper.

Can you loop out the tamper zone in the panel?
