Mend Scantronic 9448+ Security System Battery

how can i fix scantronic9448+ alarm?

I turned our alarm off at the mains(circuit breaker) about 2 years ago as the cat was tripping it at night.........now the cat is gone i have turned the power back on but nothing........not even a power light on the circuit box..........is there a dead battery in the system?

Curiously the circuit box is marked 9448+........where as the control panel is marked 9427

There is a battery within your control panel, but that is no concern at present,as it's probably dead along with the bat/ SAB in your outside sounder.

You need to find out why the panel isn't indicating the presence of power, address this issue first then hopefully the batteries will recharge.Just because the AC LED isn't lit doesn't mean there's no mains voltage present within the panel, so be carful if you are planning on going in and checking the VAC fuse.

I suggest you proceed with great caution here if you have already found the fuse in the spur( if fitted) intact,

I suggest you get an engineer in or an electrician at this stage.

Further more:9448+ is your control panel and 9427 is your RPK ( remote keypad ) , perfectly normal std kit.
