Disabling Burglar/Fire Alarm
Hello,
I recently purchased a home with an older model Burglar/Fire Alarm ("Silent Knight" 4700 series). It's been basically turned off ("shunted") for a few years I believe, but it's still passively active (if the power goes off for long periods of time and comes back on - it will start alarming). I've checked with a few alarm co's locally and most would rather sell me a new alarm than come out and permanently disable this one. I don't feel a need to have an alarm system and would just like to be rid of this unit. Does anyone have ideas on how this can be done? I know there is a backup battery in a locked box for this alarm ( we weren't left the key to this). Is this something an electrician needs to do? It looks like it's wired directly into our electricity rather than a simple outlet plug-in. Also, if I try to drill out the lock on the alarm box, would this possibly set off the alarm as well? Any thoughts/ideas greatly appreciated! Thanks, Dave |
