Intruder disabling the keypad (away mode) without triggering a sensor- Does the Signal still get sent out?
Posted October 25th, 2011 by vincekovach
If the system is alarmed and the Intruder finds the keypad without tripping any of the motion detectors or entry sensors and he either smashes or removes the batteries out of the keypad. Will the signal still be sent out from the base station to the central monitoring place?
Is there a trip sensor in the keypad that connects to the base station if intruder disables the keypad while alarmed and no sensor tripped as well that gets sent to the base station then sends signal out?
Or is the signal only sent out when a sensor is tripped (30 sec count down)?
Does the signal get sent out little before or only after siren goes off?
Thanks

Thanks for posting! If the keypad is disabled in any way, the sensors can still be tripped and the emergency signal will still be sent! The system does not automatically trigger an alarm if the keypad is disabled, so if you feel that a intruder would be able to get to your keypad without tripping a sensor, you may want to consider extra sensors to protect your home more thoroughly. The emergency signal is sent at the moment the siren sounds!
