How to Troubleshoot a Silent Knight 2730 Alarm
The Silent Knight 2730 alarm is a security system designed to prevent home intrusions and theft. Its components are the control panel, a remote keypad and system sensors, which include door contact switches, motion detectors and smoke detectors. Up to 10 easily changeable access codes may be programmed into the keypad. These codes either arm or disarm the system. The control panel can be concealed in the cellar, utility room or a closet in your home. If your alarm isn't working correctly, there are a few steps you can try before calling the manufacturer.
