Hi

We have inherited this alarm system and were left an alarm code although I am not familiar with the operation.

Today, during the gales, we had a power surge and the alarm went off.

Despite entering the code we were given, the alarm continued to sound for about 5 minutes and then went off of its own accord. However, the external light continues to flash.

I have downloaded the user manual but the panel responses dont seem to match what should be happening.

If I enter our code (which I assume to be correct), all I get is a single buzz from the panel. It is the LED type and the power LED is on but no other LED is lit. I have tried to reset it with no joy... the external strobe light continues to flash.

Does anyone have any ideas, however obscure?

Thank you.

If you had a "power surge" it could be that it's irreparably damaged.

I don't have the same model at all, but sometimes if there's been a
power cut, on my alarm keypad, I have to enter the Master Code, it
bleeps and it seems to do nothing, then I immediately enter the Master
Code again, and it clears itself and does what it's supposed to. This
seems to do a reset, which is what it needs after a power cut.

You need to enter your code to stop the alarm, which you have, then
press the X which will stop the strobe light.
