The panel pictured is a ion 30exd.  Not a 9651.  

So the pic with the battery looks very similar to my system keypad is nothing like what I have or what I’m looking to fit

The layout of panel is the same as the 9651 just a different circuit board  just trying to show you where to disconnect the battery 

That’s fine can I not take off the red and black connections on the battery itself it needs changing anyway

If you remove the lid the system might give a tamper  (cant silence as keypad doesn't work)  also it needs to be disconnected when doing any wiring to the system 

Hold on I’m getting confused 

 

your telling me to disconnect battery and fused in the box after pulling main fuse but now you telling me can’t remove lid I case of tamper and busted keypad

 

so how am I ment to power down and reset without opening the lid and without a working keypad??

[Andy cb]

My plan is to pull main fuse this I understand cuts the high voltage then disconnect external battery back up then open lid and pull fuses and battery back up

 

then default reset 

 

power down and wire in new keypad

check system working and power down again and swap out pir’s

What PIRs do you plan to install. I reccomend pyronix pet PIRs HOWEVER  pet PIRs are NOT fool proof. You can still get false alarms from something such as a cat jumps on a table

 

If you have pets i recommend using perimeter protection 

 

The system already has optex rx 40 just swapping to the same but pet tolerant as I now have a small cat

It’s something I’m thinking of but reality is there is someone in the house almost all the day it’s more to keep insurance happy and a bit more piece of mind I live in a safe area as safe as can be 

[Andy cb]

If I added perimeter sensors I’d have to look into expanders and things and the new sensors would have to be wireless as I’ve just finished refurbish and decorating the house

At least you don't have a master blaster in the loft and a quad bellbox outside. You can hear it go off from over a mile away 

Opps

I learned about the master blaster as i tested the system not knowing there was a master blaster when i moved in and i couldnt hear anything for the rest of the day. It also shredded a towel that was in the loft 

Losing hearing not good but shredding towel sounds cool
