With the increasing need to be more security conscious, everyone has that desire to ensure their home or offices are safe whether they are there or not. The ADT alarm system is designed for this purpose and all users of it must be well informed about everything that has to do with it, especially when there’s a strange beep from the alarm system. Let us know more about ADT Alarm Beeping .
Right here, various questions on what exactly went wrong and what to do when the ADT alarm is beeping would be clearly explained and you would not have to worry about what to do when such occurs.
Should I feel safe when I hear my ADT alarm beeping?
What exactly might be one of the things you would want to know about as you use the ADT alarm system or intend to use one. Since the ADT alarm system is meant to keep you alert about your safety, you have to be sure if you can still rest assured of its proper functioning when you hear it beeping.
The first thing to know is that when you notice the ADT alarm system beeping it is a sign to draw your attention to the fact that its battery is low or dead. Oftentimes, the alarm system would show “low bat” on its display screen.
In this case, that sound could be stopped by pressing the “OFF” button on the keypad of the alarm system(Depending on the configuration of that alarm system, it could as well be stopped by pressing the “#” keypad).
Also, the alarm system could start beeping due to loss of power supply, a dead battery that needs to be replaced, and loss of date or time among many very minor others(phone line not well connected, sensor errors).
Since the alarm beeping is a notification that is meant to draw attention to a problem that needs to be resolved, it is not enough to quiet the alarm. It might be necessary to observe the challenge and resolve it as soon as possible. You’ll get to understand all that as you read on to the last dot of this article.
What to do when the ADT alarm beeps?
The most occurrence when the alarm beeps is the condition of a low battery. A loss of power supply mostly causes this low battery. In this case, the ADT alarm system uses a backup battery for the beeping to draw one’s attention to that condition. In this condition, here is what to do step by step.
• Silence the alarm beeping by pressing the “OFF” button or the “#” on the system’s keypad.
Note: If that did not silence the beeping, you have to check out your ADT system user’s manual for precise directions.
• Wait for the power supply to be restored and then allow the battery to charge for at least two(2) days.
If the system still displays a low battery then it could mean that battery needs to be replaced. In this state, replacing the battery is quite simple if all instructions are correctly followed. To replace the battery, you’ll have to follow these steps.
• Silence the alarm beeping by pressing the “OFF” button or the “#” on the system’s keypad.
• Put the alarm system into the test mode status to ensure it doesn’t give a fake alert. You can log in to your My adt portal and switch it to ‘replace battery’.
• Carefully open the enclosed control panel of the ADT alarm system using an appropriate screwdriver.
• Remove the battery very carefully and observe the details of the battery.
• You can order the same battery model and then replace it with the panel. It is worthy of note that a different battery type would not function effectively.
• Allow the battery to be detected by the system for about two(2) days.
Can I avoid the ADT alarm beeping at all?
As much as it sounds brilliant to desire to avoid the beeping of the alarm at all as it could be very irritating and sometimes could be a disturbance. The fact is that it’s an automated system and is subjected to many things such as power supply for its effective functioning (its battery specifically) and then the limited life span of its battery. So instead of thinking of how to avoid it, it is best to be well informed on what to do and how when the alarm beeps.
Note: Generally, the ADT alarm battery is estimated to last for about 3 years in all correct conditions. Thus, it’s best to charge the battery consistently in that time range to avoid the alarm system unnecessarily beeping and to ensure accurate functioning of the alarm system.
If the beeping persists, it’s necessary to reach out to customer care.
Conclusion.
The beeping of the ADT alarm system isn’t something to be concerned about as it could just be a notification that the system needs attention. From charging the battery to replacing it, or ensuring the phone line is well connected. The best is to be proactive in taking the right steps correctly when this sound is noticed.
