Guest Carl B Posted April 21, 2004 Posted April 21, 2004 I have been living in my house 2 and a half years. There was a Veritas 8 alarm fitted but the previous owners advised it went off a lot so had disconnected it. Following a recent power cut and somebody turning on the mains switch next to the alarm it is now re-activated and went off. I am in possession of both the user and installation manuals but the keypad is non receptive to any of the codes I enter (e.g. attempting to re-load factory settings). I want to deactivate the alarm completely as it is old and possibly faulty - will removing the battery and turning off the mains do this (aside from the 15 mins of alarm) or is there another way?
FASTCAR Posted April 21, 2004 Posted April 21, 2004 The bell-box may have a cut-off timer , if not ,it could be ringing for some time (assuming it has SAB).Why not get it serviced and set-up correctly.
Guest Carl B Posted April 21, 2004 Posted April 21, 2004 Thanks To be honest though I just want to deactivate the thing. We have a 2 month old baby and a rogue alarm going off is the last thing I need. I just want reassurance that if I were to switch off the power and remove the battery that the outside box won't carry on going off beyond teh normal 15 mins.
FASTCAR Posted April 21, 2004 Posted April 21, 2004 Unless you have a ladder , there is no way of knowing how long it will require to flatten the battery in the bell box.
