Scantronic battery fault / ‘battery missing’

There are a number of indications that your EATON Scantronic 9651 / 9751 / 9941 alarm has a battery fault / low battery and needs a battery replacement. The indicators are:

• Scantronic ‘Batt missing’ message: this message will show on your alarm keypad to indicate that your alarm can’t detect the battery in your system (i.e. your battery is so low that the system can’t pick it up). In this case you need to sort a replacement battery immediately.
• Scantronic ‘Low battery’ message: if you’ve got a low battery message on your Scantronic 9651 alarm this indicates your battery needs changing. Follow the instructions below / book in an engineer to do this for you (as you’ll ultimately need an engineer code to reset your alarm after you’ve changed your battery)
• Scantronic 9651 alarm beeping constantly: if your Scantronic alarm is beeping, this is most likely to indicate you’ve got a low battery. Follow instructions below . . .
