Hi all.
We were burgled last week, they broke in then ripped both the remote keypad and the internal sounder from the wall (I was told they do this as this will silent the alarm - even if the siren has its own battery).
I am wanting to refit just the keypad to see if it still works. Looks easy enough to install just 4 wires (I have installation manual so not an issue).
My question relates to the internal sounder. Can I just install the keypad and leave the sounder off? Will omitting the internal sounder still allow me to set the alarm once the keypad has been wired back in.
There is one wire going to the keypad but 2 separate wires going to the sounder.
Looking at the sounder it looks to be a sealed element (although it obviously isn’t), I can’t see how the cover comes off the mounting plate.
Thank you
