Restoring the default system codes
Restoring the factory default Master and Installer codes (5555 and 1234, respectively) can be done
only during power up. Therefore, the panel must be disconnected from power first. After powering
up, you have 30 seconds to enter the default code, or you must repeat the process.
Codes that start with zero cannot be restored this way. Contact your local
dealer in such a case.
The steps for defaulting the system codes are as follows:
1.
Disconnect the panel from AC power.
2.
Disconnect the battery, wait a few seconds and reconnect it.
3.
Wait for the LCD keypad to display the message “Clock Not Set”.
4.
Press 5555 to enter the User menu.
5.
Press 9 and enter a new Master code (4-6 digits).
