. Basically, I'm confused on the procedures that I have to replace
my
fully charged SLA battery (in the progress of recharging overnight
right now) in order for my home alarm not to "trigger". It would be
much appreciated to receive any recommendations that you might have.
Thanks.
When you first power up any of the "legacy" DSC products, the panel
usually "blips" the siren for a second. This is normal. Apply AC to
first (plug in your wall wart) and then hook up the battery (observe
correct polarity). If you need additional help, please feel free to
email me at feolson at yoursecuritysource dot com. If the system was
powered down in the armed state, it will power up in the same way.
If
your keypad's not responding, then disconnect one of the siren/bell
wires. You may be drawing too much current from the power supply
with
the siren running. You can then disarm the system normally.

I have disconnected one of the bell wires. However, I'm still
encountering a problem where all the lights are flashing other than
#5, Memory, Program, Trouble. The keypad still isn't responsive to any
key presses after the siren has been removed from the connection.

Check to make sure all the connections to the keypad are intact. Also
check the connections to the keypad at the common control.

The wires from the keypad are connected and intact on the panel board
circuit board.

It's a panel from the late 80's and is now almost 20 years old, take the
hint and replace it


I want to make sure that the panel is dead first before replacing it
with a newer board.
