Had an engineer out a fortnight ago now who replaced a sensor and the batteries,today I came home today to find it beeping and displaying 'ZONE TEST FAILED' and can't reset or clear the message or set it.
I spoke to the engineer who wants £120 to sort it,i'am hoping your advice can lead me to fix this myself . thanks in advance .
I set the scantronic alarm 9800 to go to bed but it set off after two /three hours. I ran down to set it off and see code C2 on the key board. Could anyone help me why that is?

err,out 2 weeks ago,replaced batts and a sensor,now the panel say zone test failed ???one zone has been put on a soak test,this means if its tripped it will log the fault but cause no alarm,we norm do this to test a zone for faulse alarms,so you "nice"engineer must have left it on soak test,and guess how long its on for ??14 days
