Removing the NAPCO MA1000e System

I've purchased a home with the NAPCO MA1000e security system installed. I've not subscribed to any monitoring service.

Earlier today I came home and the alarm went of - first time this has happened since we moved in 4 months ago. I stop the alarm I flipped the fuse switch for the circuit the alarm system is wired to - that stopped the alarm.

So now I want to turn off the system, so I can then remove all the visible components: key-pads, motion detector and the control panel.

I'm concerned that if I start cutting wires or disconnect the battery backup in the control box all hell will rain down on me.

What's the best way to go about this?

I don't see any power transformer - is it possible that the control box is wired directly to the main power?

No. It could be plugged in anywhere in the house.

No, its a wall-wart type. It may be in the attic, behind the washing machine, in a bedroom...
