Re: Want to move Brinks keypad



What if I:

1.  Disconnect the phone line to the system
2.  Power down the system by disconnecting the battery and the transformer
3.  Move the keypad
4.  Reconnect the battery and then the transformer
5.  Reconnect the phone line.
Reason:  If I call them to put the system on "test", what excuse can I give
them for doing so??  I will have to make up a good story.  Think they will
believe me?
