Scantronic 9800 question?

I need to move the keypad about 2" down, how do you get past the tamper alarm going off ? is the panel just a press fit in the housing?

I turned off the power, opened the white box, internal alarm rang, i disconnected the battery then removed the NVM chip.

This chip has 4 pins either side. On one side 1 was bent over, on the other 3 were bent over. Fairly sure i did not bend them taking it off - came off straight. Would it be normal to have pins bent for functios not used?

Replaced NVM and plugged in battery. internal alarm did not ring - turned back on power. typing at keypad just sounds beep - whatever key..

0 7890 does nothing. Entering my code then 0 7890, the 89 combination causes a bell check which works.

I am thinking I need to turn power off, disconnect battery in white wall box, then reconnect and turn power back on. Read that this would reset to factory default... am i correct?

tried 0 7890 and nothing happened - when you say 0 space 7890 - do you mean just type 07890?

that is the default code for the 9800,you should get an :E:on the display,if your alarm company has not changed the code

To clarify,

Continuous tone was with A

With B we just get the red light

When you say let it time out - i assume you mean just leave it making to tone till it stops?

a contin tone means its setting,have you let it time out on b?

Continuous tone rather than a beep, dashes are at bottom, tried B and all that happened is red light came on beside b. entering code clears.

are the dashes at the middle or the bottom?

you either have a fault on the keypad,or the programming has been lost,has the b partion been prog?try putting in your pin,oress b see what happens
