Why is it unreasonable to not want to be attached to an 18 month contract just so I can operate my alarm system without ADT.? Sounds like you could do with a vacation chap.

Ok alarm all sorted, Sixwheeledbeast was right, the tampers needed resetting on the wireless devices. The only thing I was doing wrong was being too impatient with them, they take ages to initialize with the control panel. I left it for an hour it then allowed me to arm and disarm which cleared all errors. Rip off merchants ADT no longer have me over a barrel... Also, pretty shoddy information from user 'Al-Yeti'. He sounded just like the other rip off alarm fitters I spoke to today, making out it was a massive job, desperate to charge for a tiny bit of information. If you don't want to share information, why are you posting on a public forum?

What is the reset procedures for the tampers?? I must be doing something wrong..

All the wireless device's signals are strong and talking to the control panel.. I just can't see how to erase the previous tamper faults created by opening the wireless devices... Anyone?

Spoke to 2 local engineers, they won't touch a wireless system. Offered to fit one instead, figures. Anyways, I've reset the master code to my own and now I'm able to modify the system. All the wireless devices are present on the system so almost there. Just need to reset these pesky tamper faults...

ADT want to roll me into a 18 month contract or pay £248 per half hour + £109 subsequent half hour.. can't afford that right now. I think a factory reset and set my own codes will do the trick. Will this procedure reset the factory installer code

Sorry it is the Powermax Express system. I forgot to mention, I changed the batteries in the keypad and the sensor causing issues. Still no luck.! It's like the system needs a reset..

Hi all, I really could do with some help with my alarm system. 2 weeks ago, I purchased a 2 year old house with an ADT branded Visonic Powermax 10 system installed which has some faults preventing me from arming the system. K01 PROX KEYPAD - TAMPER ALARM K02 MOTION SENSOR - TAMPER OPEN K04 TAMPER OPEN I have no idea how to reset these and ADT want £240 per half hour to look at this alarm, which I can't afford just before Christmas. Please help, I'm afraid I'll have to go away for 2 weeks with no alarm set on my house... Thanks
