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

I suppose an alarm installer would just shimmy up the ladder first to
disable it before working on the unit, but manufacturers could start
implementing a remote control device whereby it could disable the SAB via a
hand set.
Bearing in mind this would have to be a key coded device relevant to the
same code on the panel
