Scantronic 9448+ alarm query

I'm trying to change the entry zone but the instructions are vague on this, anyone?

have you googled this system

Yes, but I'll have another go. The manufacturer's Installation guide ought to explain it but as I say it seems to conflict with the zone settings that have already been nominated on the alarm (it's actually for a neighbour)- I'm replacing the battery when it arrives so the system will be powered down and returned to factory settings.

I don't have the programming code anyway.

Replacing the internal battery doesn't necessarily mean that the alarm will lose its settings.

what are you actually wanting to do - use a different device as EE or add another device as EE as well as the original device?

You're correct, a look at the instructions says you have to short out the RST pins to restore factory settings.

The situation is this: the present entry zone is the back door (kitchen) and I need to swap it to the front door (contact). Nothing is intended to be altered, just a swap of entry zone.

So now as you enter through the back door you can walk through the lounge and into the hallway where the panel is and switch off as normal.

The alarm installer noted on the user instructions that the Hall is zone 1, landing 2, Lounge 3, front door (contact) zone 4, kitchen entry/exit (zone 5?).

The installation instructions only mention zone 2 and zone 1 in part-set as the entry zones.

quite literally - swop the cable from the Z4 and EE terminals, thats all you need to do, if the timer is too short get back to me and I`ll talk you through it.

the other bit refers to circuits that are EE when you set the system to go to bed etc but that doesnt need altering in this case

I have a pdf of the instructions, but not sure how to send it to you, so here is a copy/paste.

I wouldn't have known!

Another fault- Panel dead, no lights, found F3 fuse (1A) blown. replacement blew after 1 sec. This fuse handles the 21v ac according to manual, so presume is associated with power supply. Wondering whether anything external to the control panel has overloaded it, or is it time for a new alarm?
