The alarm system remains one of the most secure means of securing to this day. However, one thing is to own a system at home and the other is to know how to deactivate it. Here is how to deactivate or decode the device of an alarm system according to the protection mode.
The different types of house alarms
Alarm systems can be divided into two broad categories namely wired alarm systems and wireless alarm system. Whether wired or wireless, there are generally three types of alarms on the market. It is :
- Fire alarm,
- Anti-intrusion alarm,
- Anti-gas alarm.
These alarms play very specific roles. Indeed, the fire alarm allows you to be alerted to the presence of smoke or heat in your home. The gas alarm, on the other hand, ensures the detection of a possible gas leak. Finally, the anti-intrusion alarm protects you from attempted break-ins into your home. Even if the common role of alarms converges towards the safety of goods and people, their deactivation process varies.
Deactivate the alarm from the control panel
At first glance, it is important to specify that access to the protection mode on the control panel is not total. The alarm is usually in partial protection mode. To do this, you need to use a badge reader or remote control. In addition, to deactivate an alarm in partial protection mode, all you need to do is press a key in the form of an open padlock.
This represents one of the symbols in the central square of the alarm device installed in your home. The control unit, for its part, will guide you by indicating the protection mode activated by flashing the symbol concerned. All you have to do is press the relevant symbol to stop the alarm.
From a remote control
One of the best ways to turn off a coded alarm is to use your alarm system remote control. In addition to being easy to use, the remote control saves you from having to go to the control unit or even need to use the access badge reader. By using the function of your remote, you will find that light will quickly come on. This simply confirms that your order has been dispatched. You will notice that the light will come on again to let you know that your command has been completed. The advantage of this deactivation method is that it is not only quickly fast but also less restrictive.
Deactivate the alarm from a badge reader
The alarm system with an access badge reader has been one of the most popular means of home security in recent years. The special feature of the badge reader is that it can be used to encode or arm your alarm system just as it can be used to disarm it. It can be annoying at times to memorize the codes for your alarm system every time. Thus, to decode your home alarm system, all you have to do is present the badge, particularly contactless, to the reader. The latter, using RFID, will initially verify the validity of the badge. After this check, which lasts at least 2 seconds, you will see the alarm deactivate by turning green.
