First try to power down the system totally. (Remove mains power & battery) wait a minute & power back up.
Was anything disconnected during the power cut?
Check in particular the C D connections on the keypad cable.

thanks for speedy reply koolkid,i would doubt anything was disconnected as they are not in anyway technicaly minded,im a sparks myself just dont really have any experience in alarms,gonna have a look at it tomorrow and i will try what you said there and see how it goes!

if alarm is not set,will it sound if battery is disconnected??excuse my ignorance!

KoolKid

It will sound when you open the control panel.
The external siren will sound when its powered down.
It will sound when you power it back up, but all going well the keypad will be responsive & you can disarm it with the user code.

Try a supplier from this list, they will be able to sort you out.

Here is a link to a user manual, all activation codes are explained in it.

The default engineer is 1278 for your system. The logs should be in your user menu. When you put in your user code does it just arm?

daithimolloy

thanks but 1278 doesn't work. when i put my code in i only have 4 options arm option, inhibits, change code, system settings,exit menu.

That is the default engineer. The code would of being changed by the installer. You are getting into the correct menu but your permissions have not being allowed to access the logs. The only other way is through engineering.

I need an installation manual for Aritech CS 235. Bought a house with this alarm in place but needs complete programming . Thanks.
Actually not sure if I have a cs 235 or 250. The LCD panel looks the same as in the 250 user manual. So what is the difference?

KoolKid

I PMed you that manual. If you need any help give us a shout.

Be very grateful if you could PM me an installation manual also.
Have to do some work on my brother-in-laws house.
He has a CS-23512 alarm, haven't used one of these before.

Thanks, Zilog.
