Mend Scrantonic 9800 Security Battery Panel

How do I replace the battery?

I have a Scrantonic 9800 alarm sistem. It goes off when it is not set and it shows bf on the pannell when i re set it it shows lb. Is this telling me that the battery is low? what battery do I need and where can I get one?

I get sick to death of the SAME QUESTIONS, OVER & OVER & OVER AGAIN, that's why.

There is a SEARCH facility at the top of the page, that no-one uses.

Acorn get real you know it is a low batt and batt fault.
OP you can buy one from Maplins
12VDC 7AH is what you need.
If you are unsure about doing this call an engineer. Remember there are high voltages inside the panel.
