its just a home alarm and unfortunately i have no details about who
installed it (just a manual for it with no installer stamp) it was
previously asking for a remote reset code. along the lines of ring up
someone and give them a challenge code and they will provide you with a
response.
the twist however is that i switched the mains power off to it again
yesterday for a period of about 24 hours. when i returned to it there
was a quietish alarm coming from the external box - but no flashing
light. i then restored mains power to the system and everything came
back to life.
the control panel is now showing working text - and is reporting the
error 'battery fault'. from here i can now reset the system and stop
that flashing light outside.
i think your right, it could definately benefit from a proffesional
coming out and checking the whole thing over - however because i rarely
use it im happy to at least now be able to reset it - and i'll probably
just leave it alone .. until the next time the mains powers off!!
thanks for your advice.
