Guest targus24 Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 I've seen similar references on the forums - but I'd be grateful of some advice Moved into a property with an //.National Installer.// badged alarm system. The manufacturer is Ademco Microtech and judging by the panel casing and the LCD Keypad I think its an Accord XPC. I inherited the user code from the previous occupant who had a monitoring contract with //.National Installer.//, which was terminated on the sale of the property. I had a guy from //.National Installer.// come round - but was less than impressed with the sales pitch and price so have not taken out a contract. At the moment if the alarm goes 'off' I would have to contact //.National Installer.// for a reset code. To change this I think I would need the engineers code which i do not have I'd appreciate some guidance on the following options: 1. Bells Only System Is this option available to me. If it is whats my next step 2. Monitoring Contract (not //.National Installer.//) Could I take a monitoring contract out with someone other than //.National Installer.// using this existing equipment. I live in Stockport - so if I need to consult a professional are there any recommendations. Hope the above makes sense - appreciate your comments and thoughts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you decide to go down the bell's only route you may need to have an external sounder installed as I suspect this to be an ex dealership system and they rarely fitted external sirens. 2. Get three quotes for a monitored contract, if you require police response you will only be able to reset the system on 'un-confirmed' activations and the //.National Installer.// rep rightly pointed out about the reset facility this control panel offers. Any competent installer will be able to default and maintain the accord control panel. Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.

ian.cant Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 I may be wrong but dont //.National Installer.// rent systems? I didnt think they sold them outright so a takeover would be a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest targus24 Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 you can tell by the contract number in most cases... 37541[/snapback] Hi Eng, Could you elaborate - I think I've still got some paperwork which may refer to a contract number. I've looked at the Accord XPC manual - is there anyway that I could reset the panel to defaults. ian.cant I've seen other references to this same issue and it does appear that //.National Installer.// rents out the system. But looking it seems the their rights may lie with the previous owner. I'm not sure if this is legally correct. Seeing as //.National Installer.// came out some months ago - I've not taken out a contract and they have not requested the return of their equipment - I'm hoping they loose some of their rights. Once again many thanks for all your help / advice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
