How to temporary disconnect a burger alarm?

[vern]

ok, as most of the informations saids I had a flat battery issue.

I will get it changed and the alarm shouldn't sound even a powercut.

Thanks all of you guys.

I have a similar problem with my alarm system. When I cut the mains, no alarm. When I power back up, the alarm goes off and it's deafening.

I recently opene the box up and found a 12v battery inside as others have mentioned.

If you are looking for a quick fix just to stop the alarm from going off while you cut the light fuse, I suggest you open the alarm unit up and disconnect the battery.

Hope that helps.

NO IT WOULDNT.

That battery HAS to be connected to prevent the external siren from self-activating. It requires 12volt to HOLD OFF the alarm. The external bell box has a battery aswell!!

You wanna 'alf-inch some fast food??

I suspect that vern is actually HamBurglar in disguise.

What you need to do is disable the fish and micro chips on the breadboard. Watch out for static though, or they may become Kentucky Fried. Should be a pitza cake.

thats funny..yo should be on stage..

Weird. Mine doesn't go off when the main power is cut. It only goes off once the power comes back on.

Guess it takes all types.

in that case you too have a flat standby battery / blown fuse, since when you have a powercut, it is supposed to carry on working regardless

think about it.

how to break in, turn mains off first

Either that or a dodgy DIY system from B&Q that runs on PP3 batteries
