strung together this:

Has anyone by any chance got instructions for disabling the "chime"
facility
on one of the above alarms?

Try this

Enter your user code.
Press the chime button.
Select\deselect the zones for chime.
Press the * key.

The only communication with the system is via a keypad which doesn't have a
chime button. Available keys are numericals 1 to 0 with a star and a hash
key. There are two levels of code for 1. user and 2. engineering but I
havent got the documentation any more.

A copy of the booklet for the unit would be a
great help for reference as I may have to swap out the outside sounder
unit
soon.

That would be the installation manual you need and you're not an
installer. Also, the specifics of changing the SAB would come under
the SAB instructions, not the panels and if you know what you're doing
you don't need the panels installation manual.

I actually installed the thing back in 1995 for an elderly relative. The
unit was used less and less as years went by and they left the house less
and less until a few days ago when we were clearing the house out following
bereavement. The battery was dead and the power supply off. I fitted a new
battery and restored the power whereupon it awoke but back in original
settings mode with zone one chime active. As zone one on this system is a
pir covering the entrance it gets to be a bloody nuisance as you walk around
the hallway. I can vaguely recall disabling the chime from engineering level
settings but the paperwork is long gone and I can't recall the codes to do
it. :-(
The level one adjustments are printed on the label under the lid which makes
changing the entry code, walk test, bell tests etc a doddle but nothing
higher.

The user manual on the other hand is fine, I'd let you have that if I
had a copy!
