Accenta 8 Burglar Alarm Problem - Tamper Light
8 Answers
30/06/14
Hi, please can anyone help
I have a ADE Accenta 8 alarm mini, on the keypad it says Accenta+. The keypad version I have does not have a digital display
I came home from work today and the alarm was not set - the tamper light was showing and also the power light. There has been no security breach, and no power cut. The tamper light is lit constantly, not flashing.
I can press buttons, but it just beeps at me. I tried 9999 and 0123. The 9999 did register, and pressing reset caused the daytime light to come on, but the tamper light did not disappear. Aside from the code 9999, no other code is registering.
The main control unit, located away from the keypad in a cupboard has not been disturbed, It has a power light, and on close inspection tonight this red power light looks a little dull, although it is lit.
Does the main power unit have some sort of battery inside?
I was worried about opening the front of the main unit in case I set the alarm off and can't stop it, but if there is a battery I need to know what it looks like so I can buy one & replace it
I am hoping that it is something I can fix myself as although an alarm man deserves to make an honest wage to be honest I just had to pay £300 for an MOT today so this alarm thing has thrown me in a quandary & I'm fretting a bit!
Any advise would be gratefully received
Thanks in advance!

The battery is usually a 12volt yaesu type, long with lugs on each end.

The batteries usually last around 5 to 7 years.
Get the type of battery bought, find the engineer code, grab the screwdriver set and you're good to go !

Hi Iggle Piggle
It was a professional fitting but I can't remember which firm did it...can't find any paperwork. A lost mobile phone in the past means there's no contact in phone either. I may have to get professionals in...just could have done without it after MOT.
Thanks very much for your advise, appreciated

Hi Iggle Piggle,
Just a quick update - I switched the power off at the mains and opened the control box to double check what the battery looked like. The alarm did not sound
The keypad stayed lit despite full power off...but the power light on the control box went off.
I have ordered the battery from Amazon & am just waiting its arrival. Hopefully it is only the battery, as after opening the front panel I am now confident that I can change the battery
Thanks for advising me previously, it gave me the confidence to give it a go
