Hi,

 

I recently bought a house where there is a Challenger 5 alarm fitted, and loads of sensors everywhere. I know ot was fitted in 1995 and don't think it has been serviced ever since. It is still connected, although the "tamper" light is on, probably indicating a fault.

I want to disconect and remove the whole thing, but I'm not sure where to start with. 

Any advice?

Thanks

We can't advise how as you are asking how to kill an alarm system.

Thanks for the compliment   I guess 

 

Or am I being taken over

If you are not sure where you start you probably shouldn't DIY. It will involve working at height, deafening noises and the possibility of electrocution.

There is no magic button or code to disable them, in fully working order they are designed to be tamper proof, triggering the sounders if you mess about.

If you are certain you won't want an alarm going forward have someone to decommission it or consider having them look at it regarding servicing or upgrading.

They do need regular maintenance to work properly so also consider that if you keep it.
