Hello,
I have a Veritas R8 alarm, and want to remove the panic button from the circuit.
I've managed to damage the wire to the panic button, which I shaved when floor sanding, and just want to remove it altogether. The panic alarm has a 4-core wire (red, black, blue, yellow).
The keypad is currently showing a 'tamper' light, and a fault on zone 8 (the panic alarm).
I've got access to the control box (which I found hidden under the floorboards whilst sanding), but I don't have the engineer access code - it's not the default, and the system was installed circa '97 and I have no way of finding it out.
My question - is there a way to either remove the panic alarm circuit altogether (i.e. disconnect or change wiring in the control box), or 'short out' the panic alarm circuit by connecting up the ends of some of the wires?
I just wanted a rough idea of what to try, as fiddling around by trial-and-error will keep setting the alarm off (even when unset).
Thanks for any help.
