Mains supply - Off
Control panel battery - Flat / dead
Outside sounder not getting any power from the control panel, it's sounding on its own battery.

Thanks gts, I'm now a little confused though. is the system linked to the mains or is it linked to the battery source within the contol box (I'm not sure if this is just a backup). If its mains contolled why have the LED's not lit up when the mains power has been restored. I've changed the 1amp fuse within the control box without success

the bell box has its own battery,if all power fails it thinks its being attacked,so it sets itself off,it will continue to sound till the battery runs our,or,the power is restored
