Hi - I have a Menvier TS400 Alarm system. Pretty simple set-up in a 1-bed flat.
There are two hand-push panic switches. One was screwed to a window sill, which I removed and coiled with its cable in a corner of the room and forgot about (the alarm went off while I did this because I had to take apart the switch to take it off the sill, but reset fine when I was done). It's recently been knocked by one of my kids and since then I get a red light on the '5' on the control panel. Any ideas on how to rectify this?
I'd actually like to disconnect this panic switch entirely at the control panel, not sure if that's easy to do, but would appreciate suggestions on how to.
There are a couple of PIR sensors. One of them emits a 'click' every time anyone in the room moves, which is pretty annoying. I'd like to replace it and wondered if this was easy. (If you can recommend which make and model to replace it with that would be useful too.)
I also wonder if I need to change the battery - the system was last serviced in 2014 and installed in 1997.
As you can see, I know next-to-nothing about alarms, but I'm a quick study and think I might be able to do (some of) this if anyone has the time to walk me through it! I do have a manual, but it's pretty complicated for me to work out how to solve my specific problems. There's no note as to what the engineer code is but it's probably still on the 1234 default code.
Thanks in advance for the help!
