GregT Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Would really appreciate some help. I am fairly decent DIY’er. We have moved home and the new property has an alarm installed but it hasn’t been used for a few years. I removed the front panel and the battery is disconnected and internal fuse removed. i have absolutely no manuals nor any help from the previous owner who had always let out the property. But I see the key pad is a Menvier unit. I can’t see any branding inside the main box. i thought I should just replace the fuse and see if it works. But I have no idea what code I will need to punch in, to programme etc. Any clues? Will it need a code if it’s been completely disconnected for a few years? Many thanks Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sixwheeledbeast Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 We cant give out defaulting codes or instructions for security reasons. You also have the issue of not having any of the current codes. I see a couple of options, get an installer to recommission and service it with the hope it's in serviceable condition not disconnected due to some intermittent fault. Alternatively fit a new system that hopefully you can work out how to do from the instructions onto the existing wiring. It's really down to how much you value your security and your time.

Many thanks Greg As above we can't send out defaulting information, but if you want send us a picture of the keypad and main panel and as it's certain to be ancient anyway we can recommend a replacement.

sixwheeledbeast Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 If your looking for replacement recommendations your probably best looking at Texecom or maybe Eaton for something that would drop in easiest. Most systems will do what you need if you know how to fix and program it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

datadiffusion Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Thanks, what does the main box look like, esp with the cover off? Quote So, I've decided to take my work back underground.... to stop it falling into the wrong hands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GregT Posted January 31, 2020 Author Share Posted January 31, 2020 (edited) You are rightas the house was built 2002 so probably fitted then. Been able to see from pcb in main box that the model number is Menvier Security 41-148100 Edited January 31, 2020 by GregT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
