Is there a way to turn on an adt security system alarm without monitoring?

I am leasing a business space with an ADT alarm system in it, but it is not activated. I was just wondering if anyone knows how to turn on the alarm part of it without having to be monitored by ADT, there are neighbors here by the business that would call the cops as fast as ADT, I just need the alarms.

You will need a user manual for your particular model so you can set the codes to activate it, etc.
Ask ADT or the manufacturer of the alarm or the owner of the store for a copy.
Worst come to worst, activate it with ADT for a couple of months, so they can help you set it up and then cancel it.
Yes, the alarm will still function without monitoring, as long as you know the key code to activate and deactivate. If the alarm triggers, it will sound the siren and will still attempt to dial the call center.
If your reservation against monitoring is cost, you can use any alarm monitoring company you want, even if you have an "ADT" brand alarm (which is probably an Ademco). There are many companies that will provide monitoring service for $10 a month or so, which is nearly 1/3 of ADT.
