The power was off on the alarm circuit for over 24hrs - then the alarm went off.
I typed in the code several times but it would not stop and went on for over an hour (I thought it would stop after 20 mins).
So I opened the indoor keypad box and removed the battery.
The outside alarm stayed on.
In the end I cut the wire going into the outside box but it kept going.
I removed the box and put it into a blanket to muffle it and it eventually stopped.
The question is:
Should typing in the alarm code silence it even when the indoor battery has died?
The alarm has been working fine for years even though the flasher outdoors has been flashing for years in "the alarm has gone off" mode.
I couldn't find a way to stop it flashing but as I say it worked so I ignored it.
Does this indicate a bigger problem?
Thanks in advance people!
