Should I try disconnecting the backup battery that sits inside the 4600 control panel, power of the mains to the house. Wait a couple of minutes, reconnect the battery and switch on the mains. Would that reset the panel? Or would it loose all the codes when power is restored. Ie all the other zones would they be operational if no dips are touched

Thank you

You ever see terminator?

Yes  i installed one too 

 

Surely you could have made the effort & posted a picture of an arn-1e ?

They never really took off, fitted a few from memory were part of a trial. 

 

Fitted hundreds of both above.

What the magnet jobbies or the actual Arn1e product?

 

I've got a brand new magnetic one in the stores but no magnet key! Not sure where it came from or why I keep it.

The magnetic ones were used by both Modern and ADT I still have a couple of leather fobs somewhere. 

 

The smaller elmdene ones were the replacement and had a set led in the ring which were never used because of the regs but seemed light years ahead of the mag ones. Both had a really positive action, the mag with a clunk as it drew the ball bearing up and the other had a really nice quality 'click' to it. 

 

I only fitted maybe 1/2 dozen ARN1E ones and tbf I think they were over engineered for the application, ADT obviously thought they were overpriced. From memory they were 3-4 times the cost of the others. 

 

If I can find the fob I'll post it out to you, neither are new sadly though.

That would be ace - let me know and I'll hapilly email a prepaid RM label.

 

I actually fitted a few of the LED ones including on my own house (once, bizarrely one of the parcel guys commented "how cool it was and where could he buy one") because I'd wired it to trigger the

doorbell as well as ET. I did actually use the LED ones for various purposes, since no-one was going to tell me off for it.

 

Fitted one arnie and have both(?) models on the shelf. Can't now imagine when I'd ever fit any ET.

Agree about the arnie since when was ET vandalism a massive issue anyway? If it was I guess at least

it would usually happen overnight, after setting, given the premises the whole day to get a call in!

lol, just remembered where one is, it's in a rental so I looked on the inventory and sure enough....

 

You're welcome to it the next time I visit.

 

I'll check the garage for the other too.

OK

I believe its the reed switch that has failed. Any advice on which type to buy?

In your shoes Id buy a grade 1 surface contact and remove the reed from that
