Rulland Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 The panel has a nvm, but this doesn't guarantee iit will not lose its programming-have you tried the default user code?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

securealarmsolutions Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 An NVM is a non-volatile memory chip. In theory this chip holds all the stored programming information in the event of power loss from both mains and battery. Sometimes the memory may be lost still though in the event of power and battery loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rulland Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Correct,Non Volatile Memory, and that code or your original don't shut it up ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

securealarmsolutions Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Try other default codes, not sure what they are for this system. try ascending and descending consecutive numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james.wilson Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 0123 is the default user code. I would suggest someone has changed the code or memory is corrupted. securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.

magpye Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 ............ and its still screeming at me That's because you've been putting in code after code after code. The panel is not seeing the correct 4 digit code, it's seeing a 8, 12, 16 etc etc code. Get the idea. The panel thinks that someone is trying to overcome it by trying different codes, quite normal, they all do it. Trick is to try 1, 2 or possibly 3 times, no more. Stop for a couple of minutes and then start again etc etc. Remember to keep a record of all the different numbers you try, saves trying them twice, or more. 0 1 2 3 is the default code for your panel. Someone told me I was ignorant and apathetic, I don't know what that means, nor do I care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
