Contronic House Alarm

Hi,

I have a Contronic house alarm. It was here when I moved in. ----- 1.
--How do I open the control box without the alarm going off? When I
came home today the house alarm siren was sounding. I had set the
alarm when I left the house. Just before I came home a wind storm had
caused the power to go out. When I got into the house the power had
come back on. ----- 2. -- Does this indicate that my battery in the
control box is weak? ---- Earl Williams, Surrey, British Columbia

OMG!! A CONTRONIC Alarm System? Yikes is that ever OLD!

If it was wired with a tamper switch, you can't. Just turn the siren
off with the key. Or since you have the panel open, remove a wire from
the siren terminal.

Er, you battery may be weak because the power went off and came back
on?

You alarm system is the weak part. Time to upgrade from the 70's
system you have. Hey I wonder if Red Foreman needs an alarm system -
the Contronic would be an upgrade for him.

You are asking us for an opinion regarding your alarm system without knowing
all the facts. My advice would be to call an independent dealer in to
perform routine maintenance/inspection. If you explain to him that it's a
local system and that you're not interested in monitoring services, expect
that he will charge appropriately. In the Vancouver/Surrey area that could
be anywhere from $55.00 to $85.00 per hour usually with a two hour minimum.
The battery for this system will run you around $30.00. GST and PST are of
course, extra.
