I have a scantronic alarm installed in the 1980s. Hasn’t been service for 20 odd years. I changed the battery in the alarm panel maybe in 2000, can’t quite remember.
System has been fine til now although the external sounder battery is probably dead.
Anyway the internal sounder went off for no reason when the alarm was not armed, 3am in the morning which scared me a little. I managed to put in the code to switch it off but I can’t seem to reset the alarm panel and it’s displaying a fault mode.
1. What does the bf code mean as per the image?
2. Can these alarms still be serviced and if so what would that entail?
3. Any recommendation as to whether this alarm should be upgraded or kept as is? It’s my elderly mother’s house, 5 wired PIRs and 1 door sensor.
Thanks.
