Re: What if a burglar breaks in and short out the wire on my keypad

["Roland Moore" <roland@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Shorting the keypad wire will certainly cause the "system" to malfunction.
Mostly because you won't be able to disarm the system via the keypad. It
would also most likely send all powered devices into alarm. It is not an
effective way to defeat the alarm system.
