[QUOTE="SPECIAL LOCATION, post: 497794, member: 250"] When you say main fuse... Is that a fused spur next to the alarm, or a fuse inside the alarm panel that you have already opened up? If you have opened up the panel can you see a back-up battery? Is the entry keypad now dead? or does it still appear to be operational? Most alarm systems will have an internal 12v battery to keep the system working if the mains goes off. AND the external sounder will have its own battery to keep it making a noise even if someone cuts the wires feeding it.. So if the mains is OFF.. cutting the wires will not give you a shock, just short the 12v battery.. BUT.. you may find the external sounder starts howling!!! can you get access to the external sounder to open it up? If yes you may need to cut the wires to the sounder inside the box. if may be useful to keep an external box on the wall as a "dummy" deterrent, even if it is non-functional! Guinness [/QUOTE]
