I moved house about 18 months ago, to a property with a Euro Meridian alarm already installed (the alarm uses 'tags' and we have been given no codes).
My wife and I decided that we would use the alarm, due to the poor siting of the control panel and could not afford to have it moved at that time.
Last summer, we received a couple of letters from the alarm company, stating that the annual maintenance contract was due for renewal - which we ignored due to the above. A couple of weeks later, we were awoken at 3am with the external and internal sounders going off. The panel showed a fault and the tags would not reset the unit! Anyway, we called out the engineers and got them to silence the internal alarm and disable the external unit.
I explained that we did not use the alarm, but the engineer left it connected to the mains.
Move forward to ths weekend. I was doing some electrical work and had to switch off the mains. At the same time, I thought I would remove the fuse for the alarm system, as we did not use it and it was wasting energy (and costing me money!).
Anyway, the mains failure internal alarm sounded, which we reset with the tag. However, 48 hours later, the internal alarm sounded which I could not reset with the tag and had to put the fuse back in to silence it. The unit now shows Call Engineer Battery Fault 100.
Two questions:
a) Is the alarm likely to go off again - assuming no further mains faults.
b) Is there anyway that I can depower the whole unit without having the alarm sound and no engineering code?
