Nexus 8 Wired Alarm

[Ruth]

Hi All, 
I'm new to this so I'm not sure if I'm in the right place or not. 
Sorry this may be a bit long winded but I'm trying to answer all possible questions before they are asked.

I've moved into a ex family members house and I'm tracing wires that are no longer connected at one end. I came across an alarm wire that used to have a door magnet attached to it which triggered when the door was opened. However this wire no longer has the magnets connected due to the door no longer being there (it was to a shed that has been removed) the ends have been isolated and the cable has been coiled up out of the way. 
I have been able to trace the wire and remove it from the alarm box with the help of an electrician, however once the power was restored to the alarm it set up a fault which I found out to be an issue with the back up battery. I have replaced the battery, however I have lost my "unique" alarm password. I found the user manual (see link) which has the engineers code in but it refers to a "User Guide". 

When I google "nexus 8 alarm user guide" I get the following information but this doesn't seem to tell me how to reset my pass code.

Does anyone know where I can find the user guide that gives me this information or can someone give me step-by-step instructions as to how I can reset this please as currently I'm without an alarm as I don't know what the factory default code is so my electrician has turned the power off to the main alarm so it doesn't activate while I'm at work and it can't be shut off.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help with resetting my pass code. 

No links in posts please

When you say you have lost your code do you mean you had a code that worked but now it doesnt or do you mean you dont know what code is in the alarm?

 

Just so you know we cannot give out defaulting information here for legal reasons. 

 

I have deleted the links in your post, please familiarise yourself with the site guidelines https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/guidelines/

I had a code that works but since the battery has been replaced it seems to have factory reset and I can not work out to add my original code back on to the system.

 

Sorry for posting links, I thought they might help someone to understand what I've got as regards a manual.

It sounds like the panel may have defaulted, you need the default user code rather than the engineer code. I dont know the panel but would guess the default user will be 1234 or 0123 or 4567 or 2222 or similar. There is not alot of info in the user manual and the panel is very old and obsolete

I have used the default user code and I don't get anywhere. There seems to be no steps in the manual to personalise your alarm code.

If you have no code that works then you wont be able to change the code. If you could change the code without knowing what it is to begin with, anyone could just change your code while your back is turned.

Both the engineers code and the default user code allow me to access the control panel (the box that enables you to activate / deactivate the alarm) however as far as I can tell by the user manual I have, neither codes allow me to change the alarm set / unset code which is personal to myself. 
It must be able to be changed as it was changed when the system was installed in the property.

this shows the process

To put that in english: Type the user code that works, press no till you get to CD press Yes then enter the four digits you want to use, and a gain a second time to confirm

I'm pretty sure the guy has tried this but I'll get my mate to have a look with me and give it a try myself. 
Thank you for your help.
