Have a fairly ancient Omnicron 9000 burglar alarm I installed - bought
from TLC. With a flush mounting remote keyboard at the front door.
Recently bought a new SLA battery for it too.

The remote panel has stopped working - or at least the numbers part of
it. The reset button still produces a beep and triggers its LED.

The panel on the alarm itself still works normally. They are both the
early type of touch screen, not proper push buttons

Any guesses?

The chances of finding another new alarm with a remote panel of the
same size (to avoid re-decoration etc) I'd guess is slight.


I had a switchplate sized remote panel and the conductive rubber
membrane was the cause of my problem. A strip and a clean of the
contact board and I think I rubbed a soft pencil on the back of the
membrane. It then worked again for years.

Yes - it's that sort of keypad. Thing is it worked perfectly until a day
or so ago. Then noticed one number needed couple of goes to enter. Two
days later, no number key works at all. Would that happen so suddenly?
