To turn off your Honeywell alarm system completely, you need to disconnect both of its power sources: the backup battery and the plug-in transformer. Here's how:
- Disconnect the Backup Battery: This is crucial. Always disconnect the battery before unplugging the transformer.
- Unplug the Transformer: Locate the transformer (it usually plugs into a standard wall outlet). Unplug it from the outlet.
Once both the backup battery and the transformer are disconnected, your Honeywell alarm panel will shut down.
Why is this necessary?
Alarm systems are designed to remain operational even during power outages. The backup battery provides power when the main power source is unavailable. Therefore, to completely turn off the system, you must disconnect both power sources.
