Remove the AC power to the home alarm console from the wall directly. Use your console's access key (or another item such as a small screw) to unlock and open the system's backing.

Your home security system likely has a main source of power, which is a box that is secured to the wall with an outlet. This box is the key to turning off the alarm while there is no electricity. Simply disconnect the box from the outlet by unplugging it.
To disarm, press the “Disarm” button, followed by your 4 digit master code. o Keychain: You may also use your keyfob/remote to disarm the system. You can do this outside your home before you come in, or after you enter your home. If you do it after you enter, you will have only 30 seconds to disarm the system.

The process for doing this differs for each system, but one of the following is usually recommended: Enter the passcode and disarm. Arm the system, and then disarm it, immediately. Press the status button on the keypad.
If all is clear, try disarming your system. If you have a touch screen, look for a trouble alert and acknowledge it by pressing that symbol on your keypad.

The alarm in your home security system is designed to be a deterrent to intruders, as well as alert occupants and draw attention to your home, whether that be from neighbours, passers-by or authorities. Systems will sound for about 5 to 10 minutes, depending on the system, before stopping and automatically re-arming.
If you have a wireless burglar alarm, it shouldn't cost you anything to remove. That's because you can just unscrew it from the wall yourself. On the other hand, if your burglar alarm is wired in, you'll want a professional to safely disconnect it for you.
Go to your main control box and disconnect the battery supply, which will stop all beeping and shut your alarm system down. Once power is restored, you can reconnect your battery and your alarm system should work as before.

Every alarm system has a backup battery located in the control panel. Ensuring this battery is well-charged is important, as it's designed to keep your security system running during a power outage. The normal life of an alarm system battery spans two to five years, and you'll be alerted when it needs replacing.
Unplug the alarm panel box's power supply and battery. You can usually find these in a utility closet, basement, or garage. Look for a metal box, usually gray. Once your box has powered down, plug back in.
The transformer is located where the alarm control panel is installed (not the keypad). The transformer may be colored white or tan, and will be plugged into the nearest electrical outlet by your alarm panel. A wire from the transformer will run to the alarm panel.
If the battery becomes fully depleted and there is a power outage, the alarm panels will stop functioning and the alarm may begin to whine until the battery has no charge at all. Motion sensors will activate and send alarms to the central station.
