Yes, it is an LED one.

Also I assume by high voltage you mean mains 220V A/C?

The only cable going to the SABB is small bell wire size.

Research did say that some very old SABB units did have a mains supply.

Xenon strobes have ~3Kv driver circuit. 

230Vac (mains voltages) while dangerous is considered LV (low voltage) in the grand scheme of things.

Might ring a while that as possibly not that old , you got procedure tho 

Of it's a hkc bell it is led. No risk of high voltage from the strobe. The piezo will be though. 

I'm seeing a trend of people wanting to remove proper stuff and asking how it can be disabled. Never see the same questions on simplisafe and ring etc. That's because they can be easily disabled. If you want a burglar alarm that can be easily disabled just get a doorbell and hope it's pressed.

I had a similar conversation to this with somone that moved into a shop with our alarm. It was activating and they couldnt stop it. I offered to send someone they refused to pay for the call. They had a Verisure alarm and was saying we dont have this problem with their system, they didnt like it when I implied then nor will the burglar
