    Hi, recently during a powercut I discovered that the alarm backup battery was dead - the code got reset. I got a new battery and replaced it this evening - as soon as I connected the battery the alarm started to go off - so I jammed the cover back on and turned off the alarm.
    When I try to reset the code (or indeed set the alarm!) the panel displays a 't.' which I presume is indicating a tamper. It's an aritech CP32. Can someone please tell me how to clear this so that I can reset the code - PM if necessary
    Thanks

    thanks for that - I already have that manual.
    So I disconnected the battery and re-powered it, and it went back to the way it was before i changed the battery - it doesn't know it was tampered, and i was able to set the code as i wanted to, and can operate the alarm.
    So without the information I have 2 options.
    1) discharge the battery fully before connecting it, hopefully it won't know it has been tampered and i can set the code, the battery will charge and all will hopefully be ok
    2) there's a jumper on the board labelled 'TAM' which i presume is to enable tamper detection. I can remove this jumper and try connecting the battery and see if this helps.
    Might try it in this order over the weekend, unless someone else can provide the correct procedure. Not asking for the whole installation manual, just the explicit procedure to perform this simple task.
    Thanks
