The house here is fitted with an alarm system. The batteries in the wireless sensors motion sensors and the keypad in the hall died very soon after moving in a couple of years ago, and it has remained unused since then. Many houses on this crime-free estate have alarms, I guess they were part of the original purchase deal some 10 years ago.
I'd like to deactivate the system, remove all the batteries, and leave it in a 'dead' state.
The only ID is on the main control unit in the loft, it says FM 4000. The handbook is full of cheery messages saying in response to just about everything 'Call your alarm company', which I'm loathe to do.
After opening the control unit, the 'tamper' light has now unsurprisingly activated. Disconnecting the main battery operated the external sirens :-( and reconnecting it shut them up. I've had to disconnect the little speaker in it.
Are there any magic keycodes that will deactivate the system?
Any tips and/or advice?
TIA
