Can someone offer advice, I have a burglar alarm system Scantronic 9448+ was installed (built in with the house) when the house was built around 25 years ago. Manual
I fitted a new front door and swapped the sensor (same one) 1 x Electrotec CO05 Burglar Alarm White Quick Fit Door Contacts - 5 Terminal Professional Quality Magnetic Reed Switch Contact Type : Amazon.co.uk: DIY & Tools like for like to the inner frame/ top of the door, had to extend the wiring which was a little short – all crimped etc. I had fitted the door that came off around 7 years ago fitting this sensor then (reed sensor/magnet type, above), all worked fine.
The main problem is when I tried to re armed the alarm it was showing a tamper fault and will not arm
It looks like it had gone open circuit. Have changed the battery (even though it was testing absolutely fine) is about 8 or 9 year old. checked the two PIR’s – they seem fine, been around the tamper switches I know of extending springs etc - remote keypad in the hall, control panel (in a cupboard), I have even tried the bell outside, all seem to be working. Pulled the fuse and battery (panel) let the alarm run out to reset to defaults.
To add to this I have fitted a new patio door which had a sensor, replacing with same as the front door (above).
When I do an engineer’s walk test the panel is supposed to give a continual tone, it doesn’t it beeps, also showing a fault on the EE (front door) and the patio door. I’m sure they have been connected correctly. Wires connected to the sensors are Red, Yellow, Blue, and Black.
Anything fairly simple (like me) I can try/test/do before paying someone?
