Need to change alarm panel without setting off the alarm

[crispy fingers]

Hi,
i need to change an optical xm alarm panel for an optima compact g4 panel, problem is the old panel has stopped working and the keypad is frozen, is there a way to stop the outside siren from going off without getting the ladders out.
If it's not possible then which wires in the outside box should i disconnect without me getting a belt from the on board battery.
thanks

Sorry tel.

I doubt you'll get that sort of info on an open forum, as it's basically 'how do I disable the alarm'. Probably better to post it in the alarms section of the forum.

Thanks for quick reply,
telectrix; reason i ask about the shock is that i changed the rechargable battery some years ago on an old system, mains was disconnected but i still managed to get a good belt from it.
imago: can't ask in the alarm section as it's private.

thanks

Yeah, there's a reason for that.

the belt you received could have been from the strobe terminals.

Hi,

I can only suggest you consult the diagrams of manuals you got with the alarm system.

Being an open forum and given that you're asking for info on how to disable a domestic alarm system and basically bypass the built-in tamper/siren facility I'm going to have to close this thread I'm afraid. It's not the kind of info other owners of similar alarms would appreciate being easily available.
