Subject says it all really: I've installed a Scantronic 9651EN-43 into an existing "wired" house and extended the system using the Visonic MCT-302/MCR-308R wireless system. I've linked the Visonic zone output into the 9651 zones and also linked the anti-tamper into the main loop as well. The Visonic can send a low battery warning and I need some suggestions as to how the 9651 can handle this? Obviously, it needs to bring the warning to the home owner's attention, but it can't prevent setting the system or set off a full-blown alarm if it occurs whilst the system is set. Many thanks for your assistance!

Have a look at zone type 08 , technical alarm , it doesnt trigger the alarm when set , and gives a pulsed warning when unset , also gives a warning at the RKP when unsetting if triggered.

agreed. There are a few options, i would use a normal zone as this would activate the alarm when set. You could also use an led to show this externally to the unit

Thanks for your replies guys. I had seen the type 08 solution and wondered if that could be adapted. Using a normal zone: doesn't that mean that if a battery goes low whilst the alarm is set it will set off the alarm?

not a full alarm no

thanks guys
