hello I am locked out of my old Gardtec alarm panel after an accidental wrong entry. The display shows seed code 4667. Could someone please run this through the calculator for me?

If your alarm is monitored you need to call your installer and get it reset. If your alarm is no longer monitored then you need to call your alarm company to switch off remote reset. Its not a simple calculation, alarm panels have a secure software that generates a reset code from a number displayed on the panel, just like the pin machine you use when you log in to your bank.

On older GardTec panels (such as the 370, 580, 595, or Eurosec CP7/CP8 series), a 4-digit number like 4667 following an alarm or tamper trip is an anti-code (remote reset seed).

As Peter noted, the anti-code is calculated by an engineer algorithm against the panel's internal base seed to confirm an engineer inspected the premises before resetting the system.

If the alarm is no longer under contract and the original company is defunct, your options depend on whether 'Engineer Lockout' was flagged in the installer menu:

1.##REMOVED##

2. If Engineer Lockout is active: The processor retains the anti-code requirement through a power cut and will return straight back to lockout. If that happens, given Gardtec hardware is now obsolete, swapping out the end-of-life end-station PCB for a modern hybrid panel (like an Ajax MultiTransmitter or Texecom Premier Elite) is usually far more cost-effective than chasing legacy chip resets, while letting you reuse all existing wired PIR and door circuits.
