Is that really a good idea? Failed power supplies should warrant

not if something is MISSING.
Think about it... the whole point of this is to remove one
of the 110/220 power supplies from the array that has two
220V (only!) supplies and move it into that second array.
I.e. each array now has *one* power supply (since I am running
off of 110VAC). So, the second suply is already MISSING.
If we assume (the original question) that it is safe to run the
array on one supply, then this is OK for both arrays.
When / if this power supply dies, there is NO backup supply
for it. So, what does it matter if the alarm cant sound
when this (only!) supply fails? :>
Actually,
check on the back of the unit -- unless I'm thinking of the
wrong unit, there should be a pushbutton to cancel the alarm.
It's on the front. But, just as easy to add a jumper and
never have to worry about that! :>
