what do i do???

[v-technician]

Hi ive just bought a new house and its armed with an accenta alarm (dont know the model sorry but ive got a feeling its an old one). When viewing the house the previous owner told me the alarm deosnt work. However now ive had a closer look the alarm panel is active and the microwave sensors blink now and again. I was given no code or manuals and dont know what to do. I need an alarm and was thinking of getting a new one of some kind. This one seems to have been hardwired in and i dont want to spend hundreds of pounds if there is some way of getting this one back in action. What do i do? Could i salvage the existing wiring for a new alarm? some helpful advice would be appreciated greatly.

thanks in advance

thanks guys! If i buy a new panel it must be an accenta right? are these alarms any good?

Joe do you think i can use the existing wiring for the scantronic?

You can use any make of panel you want.

How many zones does your system have?

The Scantronic 9448 panel Joe-90 mentioned will only support 3 normal zones, plus an entry exit zone.



I like Texecom stuff, but then Breezer already told you that

er, no, try 7 zones

 

[joe-90]

OK 9448+

 

[RF Lighting]

The 9448 has 4 zones

The 9448+ it would seem does have 7 zones, but that is not what joe said.

but i was using

i could see what joe 90 meant

The 9448 is obsolete so had to be 9448+
