Posted this already to alt.security.alarms; a group user suggested i post
here, also.

Anyone happen to know how to resolve the following problem? Omnicron 90005
domestic alarm box - fitted for a while (it's old but seems/ed to work 100%)
has stopped working altogether. A fuse in the main consumer unit blew so i
guess the box was running off the battery (?) for a couple of days and
today, the siren/bell started wailing. The siren/bell stopped after a little
while but now there box appears to be completely dead - no lights, no
functionality whatsoever. I've not tried opening the box up or anything in
case i make things worse. Any pointers to get the thing going again? Does it
need to be somehow reset or does the battery need changing? Now that there
is electricity going to the thing, i'd have at least thought it would have
lit up etc. Complete novice with these matters, in case it's not obvious.
tia. mojo.

If the unit was working before this happened you should be able to re-boot
with a new battery.
Because the battery went flat and is probably the original, it will not
recharge.
Hope this helps

Are you absolutely SURE that mains power is getting to the panel, because
even with a dead battery the system should operate.

Although i've no way of testing it, I have *deduced* that power should be
getting to the panel because of the following line of reason/logic. the fuse
that blew knocked out a couple of power points and the alarm. that fuse has
now been replaced; the other power points are now working fine - but the
alarm isn't; not even a peep. i am going to try to get an alarm dude out to
look at it but am also considering sticking another battery in and seeing
what happens. anything i need to be aware of before i do so?

I thought this was one of those units that required a battery to be
connected. Don't quote me though as it has been a few years since I touched
an Omnicron.
