thank you for all your replies. I think I am going to stick with the veritas system as I have had a look at the Scantronic panel and I am not that confident I am 70 now and as you get older you loose the ability to take things in (you will all come to it eventually) so thank you and I am going to order a veritas. I will come back when I have fit it to update. again thank you all and a merry Christmas and a happy new year

What are they? I don't know what you mean (English key pads) the one I have now only shows red light when programing? as I am only a DIYer I thought it would be best to one out one same back in as all the connection will be the same but if you have better idea please tell me looks like the transformer is ok then.? as I don't know about alarms, I have had two Veritas systems in properties I have owned that is why I can usually get by if anything goes wrong

programed it last night all went well, armed ok through the night but when I disarmed it this morning the mains went in the box and it started running on battery (all fuses are ok,) as we are away quite a bit I don't want to risk it going off so I am going to bite the bullet and buy a complete control box they are only £45 inc post and you get a key pad Does any body know if the transformer is included with the kit, I am nearly sure it is but not 100% sure?. it will drive me made and I wont be able to sleep if I don't find out what has gone wrong so I am going to find out before I fit the new panel so there is one question I would like to ask, what is the OUTPUT voltage of the transformer? at the present 240v in 20.5v out and any other comments on fault finding this fault will be welcome thank you

thank you ill try that in the morning

I have the engineers code I just want the engineers codes to reset it to disable the one key arm mode The main capacitor had blown the large one near the transformer I am not sure how old it is as it was in when I purchased the property I think it is from 2001?

there is only one green one at the top and in the centre

here is a photo of the key panel in the manual it says that it can be programed so it is a one button arm via the engineer code but it doesn't tell you how or how to disable it

there is no red led just the green one

disabling I want to put the user code in then arm

yes it does it all works now but it arms with just pressing full before it blew I had to put the user code in then arm

just replaced a blown caps on the main board of a veritas R8 alarm got everything working again the only thing that I cannot do is it is programed to accept to arm it with just pressing full or part and I would like to have to put the user code in then full or part I have looked but cannot find a answer I know I will get a answer here thank you in anticipation

Just messing about in the garage and decided what to do with the battery I'm going to turn it into a power pack to run some Christmas lights which I have wound round a 11mt fishing rod which is attached to the jockey wheel of my caravan then when I'm pissed coming out of the club I can find my way home instead of knocking on someone else's caravan trying to get in

Did the same to my fishing trolley battery still going strong 18 months on. but I will admit I have changed the alarm battery due to the risk ill make a torch out of it

yes you have to put small amounts in and just tap lightly the internal mat to get all the air out (use a cotton bud with the cotton removed and to put water in use a striped down pen, thumb over end then release water I was brought up in the era when you repaired everything

Ok, advice taken Thank you
