Rebel 8/9 Question

[stender]

Unfortunately the first part of that is true; the keypad is a core part of the system.

Remember alarms are designed specifically to be difficult to disable - would you like a burglar to break in and turn it of in seconds?

If you didn't install it yourself and don't have the installation manual you really do need a pro to do it properly (not the cowboy who did it the first time).

As for the second part - search around for comments on wireless alarms; it's a contentious topic!

True I suppose re burglar. I do have the manual. Does it make a difference if I can put it in to engineer mode? can it be disconnected then?

could i disconnect the alarm box first?

Another idea I had was to tee in another cable i.e. run a new length, connect to panel along with existing, connect to existing cable further along then cut out offending cable???

I don't really want to channel the wall which is ok but could do without pulling the skirting off which will no doubt damage the board.

disconnect the 5 wires making a note of where they connect, by the way when you open the keypad it will go into tamper and sound the internal sounder, when you disconnect the cables it will activate again and as the keypad will be disconnected you wont be able to silence it, reroute the cable, reconnect(hopefully you wont have blown any fuses) and then you can silence it.

You have been offered good advice above, if you can put up with the noise for the period of time that you reroute the cable go ahead, if not get an engineer in.
