January 22, 20233 yr comment_517648 Hi all, I would really appreciate a bit of help here please.I have an alarm box is an ademco xpc microtech accord 8 with the keypad as pictured. I had to switch the power off at the circuit breaker and later that night when I went to set the alarm to the "Night Set" (Easy Set 3) it beeped 3 times and never set.After testing this more, it turns out the "Full Set" (Easy Set 1) doesn't work either, it gives the 3 beeps. When it was working you would hear 2 beeps and set but now you hear 3 beeps but doesn't set.I noticed that if I try and set it by entering the code and then 1 for full set or the code and then 3 for night set the alarm shows that zone 8 is tripping.The interesting thing is I don't have a zone 8! Could this be a battery fault or something else? Any tips would be amazing.The call out charge for an alarm guy locally is £150 which I don't have at the moment.Thanks.

January 23, 20233 yr comment_517651 To me it's like the system has defaulted to factory settings after the power was cut Trade Member Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/45470-ademco-alarm-not-setting-help-please/#findComment-517651 Share on other sites Share on LinkedIn Share on X Share on Facebook {lang="reddit_text" Share via email Share on Pinterest More sharing options...
