Losing the alarm beep is another thing that is frustrating when using the ADT alarm. The noise is incessant, rather loud, and anything but subtle, which can make you suffer a headache or lose focus. Fortunately, ways of silencing an ADT alarm beep are normally easily executable. Below are the instructions on how to stop the loud ADT alarm with easy instructions.
The first action that you will likely take will be to look for the keypad that is used to manage your ADT alarm system. This has to be fixed on a wall at the main door of the house or any other place the couple desires. As to the keypad, it will be equipped with a digital display section and numerous buttons and lights. After identifying where the keypad is situated, the next step will be to search for the “Off” or “Cancel” button. The button that is most commonly associated with this function on most of the ADT keypads is usually red. Turn off the machine and ensure there is no further beeping by pressing the ‘Off’ button until it stops.
If you find that your alarm is still sounding after this, then the next thing that you are supposed to do is to input the master passcode. The concept of every ADT alarm system is that it is fitted with a master passcode that can override the alarm. If you’re not sure of yours, you can find this information on the documents that you were given when the system was installed or by contacting ADT customer support. The master passcode can be given over the phone after checking the identity of the person requiring it.
Dial in your 4 or 6-digit master passcode using the numbers on the keypad of the phone touchscreen. Ensure that you apply force when pressing the buttons but do it gently and steadily. These are the rules that should be followed: When the last digit of the passcode is entered the alarm should turn off. Sigh with relief now that we are out of the noisy streets.
At times it is possible to have an ADT alarm that continues to chirp after exiting the car and pressing the ‘Off’ button and even after entering the master passcode. This normally means that there is still some form of an alarm condition within the compound as an open door or window. Go to the outer surfaces of your house and shut every door and window to ensure that there is no gap left. Once all of the areas are secure, you will be prompted to enter your master access code to disarm the alarm system.
There may also be cases in which your ADT alarm has a beeping sound, especially if there is a system error or other issues. It can sound at any time even when there is no intrusion identified in the area. To eliminate the intrusive beeping, you must switch off the particular device or sensor which is problematic temporarily.
First, it is necessary to open the inside of your ADT alarm system control panel, which you can usually find in a closet or a hallway. However, you will require a small Phillips head screwdriver to open the panel that you need. Inside move to the row of dip switches where each represents the protection zone; motion sensor, door contact, etc. Switch off the dip switch for problem zones individually if the beeping ceases. This will make the devices inactive such that you can isolate the one that is not functioning as it should. Remember to use the ADT service to call for repairs to avoid your security being compromised.
This can be caused by a power failure or by a problem with your ADT panel because it needs the power to beep. There should be a green or blue light shining if the system is receiving a power supply. Inspect components like circuit breakers or wire connections and fix them in case of a power interruption. It is possible to change/switch off the alarm by using the ‘Off’ button and the master passcode for some time. It is to alert the user that the machine needs power, and this beeping will happen every few hours if the power is not consistent.
Other sounds you may hear emanating from your ADT alarm include a beeping which may indicate that the alarm is low on its backup battery. The rechargeable battery for the control panel wears out over time and thus needs replacement. Go to the panel box and search for 12 volt 7 ah Sealed Lead Acid Battery. Inspect for signs of rust or signs of wear. Replacing it with an identical new battery after ensuring that it is discharged is the best option. It is very important to get the polarity correct in terms of connecting the new battery.
Besides beeping, your ADT security system may give other alarms like, a shout, a horn, a flash, or even flashing lights. To turn off these, there is a power button on the panel that you have to press and type in your master passcode. If lights keep blinking, it usually means the presence of an ongoing trouble condition or an alarm that has not been reset. You are required to re-enter the code or press the ‘Off’ button if you wish to acknowledge and disarm the alarm.
