A Scantronic 9851 alarm system has a control panel with an LCD display, at least one keypad and different detectors installed throughout the location. Before you can program or use the system, you have to enter an access code. Alarms go off if a sensor detects someone breaking in, if there is a fire, or if a user activates a panic alarm, a medical assistance alarm or a fire alarm. If there is a problem with the alarm, or if an alarm has been activated and you want it to stop, you can reset the 9851 using three different methods.
