planetf1 Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 Hi, I moved into a property 2 years ago with this alarm installed. I know the master code. A few weeks ago I started getting battery warnings, and then constant panel beeping. At the time I looked for the engineer code in case a reset was needed after self-replacement of the batteries, but couldn't find it (default didn't work) Ultimately the beeping couldn't be canceled, so I powered down the entire system (the external bell only lasting for <5 minutes) I now have a choice to a) ignore the alarm b) use the original installer for maint c) Self-manage the alarm (it's bell only) d) find an installer that will do a one-off service and reset code I'm inclined to go for c. My issue is figuring out how to (ideally) reset the engineer code or Possibly factory reset Any tips on this panel? I don't see any nvram reset in the manual. I've read about a possible 2 finger reset once logged in with master, but not found details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixwheeledbeast Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 We don't provide defaulting information or manuals here as per our guidelines. External sounder only lasting 5 minutes means something is wrong. B or A would be the sensible, depends if you actually care and/or if your insurance cares.

planetf1 Posted January 1, 2023 Author Share Posted January 1, 2023 Ok thanks.. understand re codes. Agree about the bell. I presume it's internal batteries are flat (the system has not been maintained) in addition to the internal panel battery which I know has gone. The system is ~4 years old, and probably never been maintained. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrHappy Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 a euro will tell when & what each fault is via its log you can ignore or neglect your alarm & it will start beeping in the middle of night & piss you, your family & anyone you contact about undertaking a repair as its Christmas & we've already had 48 weeks of more of dealing with dickheads who spend 100's of thousands on a house & never have the common sense to get the previous owner to have the alarm serviced before they take possession of the property or think that anytime in the future it might be prudent to have the preventive maintenance done.
