If you have had the system for some while, its internal battery eventually looses full charge by constantly being charged by the system. When you loose power the alarm will try to resort to the battery that obviously can handle the job no longer and forces the system to alarm. Recommend that you replace the battery on a regular basis around 12 / 24 months. Otherwise may be a configuration of your system that identifies power loss as a setting.
If the units are more than 5 to 7 years old they have reached the end of life cycle and need to be replace. Smoke detector typically are only good for 5 to 10 years.
I had one of these once, the batteries go bad very quickly, especially if left outside in hot/cold weather. You might need to buy new batteries, you can get them pretty cheap on ebay.
These alarm panels receive 16.5 VAC from a small wall adapter that is wired into the keybus and labeled 'AC'. Have a certified alarm company or installer check your system for faults and get things in order.
This could be referring to your battery backup for the control panel. Make sure your battery connections are secure and check the batteries' voltage with a multimeter. If it is showing less than 12 volts and has been connected to the control panel for more than 24 hours, the battery is bad and needs replacement. Contact your local alarm company and ask them verify the battery is bad, and they can install a new one for you right then.
There are a couple of things you can do, you can silence the keypad via a programming change to the alarm panel, but this requires knowing the installer or 'go' code. On the other hand, you can change the tone of the keypad by pressing * 0 and using the arrow keys to adjust the tone up and down.
This could be a supervision problem. If zone expanders, gsms, keypads, etc. are added to this alarm panel, you must enroll the device with the control panel. This is done by entering into programming mode ( * + 8 + {go code} ) and then simply exiting programming mode by hitting the exit button. The GE NetworX control panel and it's affiliated compatible devices will auto-enroll after about 15 seconds. The default 'go' code is 9713, but this is usually changed by the alarm company installer.
