As of the last few days our house alarm outside bell (siren really) box sounds if the mains goes down. It never used to, the only reason I first noticed was an RCD tripping fault on a mains ring circuit tripped the fuse box RCD, and the alarm sounded, although the control panel was in "Daytime" mode, and no panel lights showed. Restoring mains stops the alarm, but resetting the alarm panel has no effect. Any clues what's up with the damned thing? Otherwise the system appears to function normally. We get not infrequent power outages here, so this could be a damned nuisance ;-) Thanks.
