I installed an alarm system some time ago with the SAB unit in
the bellbox wired in. The problem I face is that if I remove all power
in order to carry out work on the unit or the wiring then the SAB will
activate the siren to the annoyance of all the neighbours. My control
panel is an Accenta G3 and the bellbox is a Vortex YS 09 which has SAB
and SCB functions. I need to alter the wiring to disable the SAB unit
but I am too old to be shinning up ladders and removing covers. I
think that there ought to be a method of changing the wiring at the
Control Panel to cut out the SAB. I know that it reduces the security
aspect of the SAB but I think that that would be a price worth paying
to prevent being "sent to Coventry" by neighbours. Can anyone give me
a suggestion. Regards, Curious


Just re-read your message - you can't disable the SAB from the panel, as it
is a feature of the bellbox it's self - When the power is removed to the
box, the internal battery in the bell box activates the siren for 20
minutes - The only thing you can do is as I suggested before, or cut the
battery out totally (some bell boxes have a jumper to disconnect the battery
for servicing) whatever you decide, to permanently disable the SAB, you, or
someone, needs to go up the ladder! - If it is just for this one time, then
I would just connect the 0v and +12v to the battery while the work is
completed.
