Tab Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 Hi, I have an old GT 601 Alarm system that is not working ? I am not an installer just moved in. I wish to shut it down, I have the Engineers code and user code but worried if I shut it down, the outside bell will sound? Does the Outside bell have internal batteries? And can I power it down completely. thanks Terry B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the Outside bell have internal batteries? That is correct. With a fully operational system if you power down the inside the siren will activate. Fully decommissioning a system usually involves ladders and earplugs. They are designed that way so a burglar can't disable them easily from the inside.
