Hi all,
After a little advise please, we have an old (partially working, ie a couple of door sensors discarded over the years of decorating) non monitored alarm system - A 'Modern Alarms Series 1000'.
We're about to have an extension built, after which we'll be having a brand new system installed.
Questions are:
1) To be ready for the building work, I need to remove the old bell box. My plan of attack is: 1) Cut power. 2) Remove back-up battery from control panel. 3) Open bell box and remove back-up battery. 4) Remove the unit completely. Am I likely to set it off when I open the lid? Is the power to this fed from the panel - 12v?
2) I then need to run a couple of cables for new PIR's whilst the new part is being built. What cable do I need to run? Or does it vary? Is the same cable used to feed the bell box too?
Thanks very much
Gary
