Any of you chaps got any experience in changing the battery in a burglar alarm?
My attention was drawn to our burglar alarm a couple of evenings ago when I had to turn off the power on one of the ring main circuits. As the alarm [a Scantronic 9448+] had been installed when the house was built 12 years ago, I Googled to see what information I could find out about it.
Apparently, they contain a back-up battery which normally lasts for 3 to 5 years, depending on make so, at 12 years, a change of battery is long overdue. Naturally, the manual says absolutely nothing about this as, I suspect, they want to preserve the mystique in order to provide employment for their engineers.
I've some apprehension about attempting to do the job myself as I've a fear of setting off the alarm and not being able to stop it! So, any information would be gratefully reveived.
Cheers
