Hello Everyone,

 

I have recently bought a house and I have already  PowerMaster10 ADT security alarm installed but I have no installer (or master installer?) codes for it to change code for arming and disarming alarm. I tried reset it according to instruction found on the internet but it didn't work. Any chance to reuse it or it is junk now?

If it's ex-ADT I would assume junk status simply due to the fact the codes are probably locked.

 

Whether you can get a new main unit and re-sure the sensors though, would be for someone else to answer?

Either get ADT in or start again with everything.

Ok, thank you for quick answer.

 

I have another question then:

Hi,

Can I arm/disarm this alarm from my mobile without adt subscription? It has mobile modem to report events.

VisonicGo works without a subscription AFAIK. but I don't know if that can be setup without accessing the engineers menu.

 

Ok, thank you for that info.

Without ADT subscription  once alarm is trigger, how long it will be on? Can that be set without master installer code? I only have user code but I can add or delete devices etc.

Standard panel defaults to 8 minutes bell time but no idea with ADT model it's likely got different default settings with it's custom firmware. Detection devices and bell times would be installer programming only.

So anyway it is a bit dangerous leaving possible access to my home security system... How can I be sure that somebody who can (have) access to my security alarm not gonna disarm it while I'm away? It not safe, is it?

People rarely go to that much trouble, they will just kick a door in and be back out in <3 minutes.

 

If you are concerned get a professional in to advise and sort it.

Simple don't connect it to the internet or apps in the first place.
