Most systems will begin beeping or chirping as a result of a total power outage or failure to recharge the system
An ADT Alarm System's low battery beeping can be silenced by pressing the ``OFF'' button or ``#'' button on your keypad.
The most common causes of a home alarm beeping are the faulty battery or your battery is getting weak. Most systems will allow to to silence the beeping by pressing the status button on your keypad, disarm your system and immediately disarm or by disarming your system by entering your code.
Both your system and your peripheral devices use messages and beeps to indicate a low battery status. If your system battery is running low, most of our systems will display notifications like LOW BATT or BAT.

Requesting a Replacement Battery
If you choose to replace the battery yourself, contact ADT at 1-800-ADT-ASAP to have a replacement battery sent to you or you can purchase one at a local battery supply store.
If so, the device will run on its backup battery for up to 24 hours, and you will get a low battery alert as it is depleted. If AC power is not restored before the battery dies, the device will power down.
If the low battery message does not clear for more than 24 hours after the battery is replaced, then you should delete and re-add the sensor. Although the batteries in your door & window sensors may have a shelf life of up to 10 years, when used in a device, battery life expectancy is up to 2 years.
The beeping sound the low battery alarm makes can become very annoying but can be disconnected by removing the drained battery from your home alarm system panel. Make sure to replace the drained battery with a new one to keep your home alarm system functioning properly.
A single beep about every 30 seconds to a minute can mean the battery is low, the sensors are dirty, or the unit needs to be replaced. Multiple beeps can indicate a malfunction, or if the unit can detect carbon monoxide (CO), high levels of the gas may be present.
The problem could be as simple as a low or dead battery in one of your sensors, which can trigger burglar and smoke alarms. Pets could also be the culprit — if your sensors aren't calibrated properly or don't have advanced pet detection features.
If it's something as simple as a battery, you can replace it to stop the beeping. But if your sensors are hardwired and they happen to be broken, you'll need to call your security company and schedule a repair. In the meantime, you can adjust your control panel settings to bypass the sensor that's beeping.
Your panel has 2 sources of power: The AC power (where it is plugged into an outlet) and the System backup battery. To fully power down your panel you must disconnect both of these. (Note: Powering down your panel should only be done if it is the last resort.
To get your smoke alarm to stop chirping if you've already changed the battery, first try draining any residual charge by holding the test button down for 15 seconds. If this doesn't solve the problem, clean the unit. A blast of compressed air will often remove the dust particles that are causing the beeps.
For many of our most popular systems, beeping alarms and low battery trouble beeps can be silenced by pressing the [OFF] or [#] buttons from the keypad. If this does not work, please refer to your security system manual for specific instructions.
A Low Battery Warning is most often displayed as BAT, LOW BATT or SYSTEM LO BAT on the touchpad. In addition, many systems will “beep” or “chirp” to alert you that a system or peripheral device battery is low. This warning signals that your battery must be either recharged or replaced.
If the keypad for your home alarm system starts beeping, it's a sign that the power supply is low and the battery might need to be replaced. The keypad may beep infrequently at first, but it will beep more consistently as the power supply drains.
The beeping or chirping will often occur at the same time. This is because many panels do their automatic battery test every 24 hours. Less commonly, a low battery condition can cause false alarms at random times throughout the day. Almost all alarm panels will also display a keypad trouble light to indicate a problem.
If there's a low battery warning, you might need to replace the alarm system's battery. If the alarm persists after replacing the battery, consider power cycling the entire alarm system. Turn off the main power supply to the alarm, wait a few minutes, and then turn it back on.
