This relates to a 9448 scantronic alarm - installed in 2007 by the looks of it. Following a failed main battery recently, which also took out one of the PCB fuses, I'm getting more familiar with the panel internals. However, the pathway to my enlightenment did involve waking up the neighbours a little earlier than I am comfortable with. The bellbox is inaccessible with normal ladders, so I was pretty much stuck for options at the time.
With a little extra knowledge (and a supply of the correct fuses on hand) I'm much better prepared for any faults in future - but I'd still be more comfortable if I had complete control from the ground. If the panel ever goes properly haywire at some ungodly hour, I want to be able to switch off the mains circuit, pull the panel battery and not have the external siren start up under it's own steam.
So to my question; if I can get hold of a suitable ladder and remove the bellbox battery at my leisure, would the alarm still function correctly? (I understand and accept the explicit conditions - provided the cable from panel to bellbox is not tampered with and the panel has mains or battery power itself).
