Hey DIYnot-ers,
I've seen several threads on here relating to the various ADT Galaxy 48 Galaxy Dimension 48 systems and ways to reset them.
Our situation is fairly typical, moved into a new premises where there is an ADT branded alarm system but I'm not prepared to pay them a load of cash for doing not a lot. I like understanding stuff like this and would like to take the opportunity to RTFM and set it up myself.
I've disconnected (after carefully photographing and labelling!) everything from the main board except for a single keyprox and have tried several combinations of;
isolate mains
remove cover
replace cover screw to push tamper switch
remove backup battery
remove cr2032 battery
links out zone 1 to 0v
link out bell tamper to ground
wait 10 mins
replace cr2032
replace backup
turn on mains
Each time the same thing seems to happen;
buzzer goes off and the top line of the display shows *'s
screen goes blank buzzer stops
screen displays "configuring please wait"
screen displays I get "press any key to setup" and an alternating beep starts
pressing any key takes you to a language selection page (esc here just seems to accept default)
I then get a "defaults" selection with 14 options
No matter which "default" I select I then find that entering the pin 12345 allows me to see the warnings and allows me to set and unset the system but does not let me access the engineer menu options. Entering 112233 ent gives me an "insufficient access rights" message.
So, it looks to me like I'm partly resetting (I believe in alarm parlance it's referred to as crashing) the system as it's asking for that initial setup but clearly as the first 4 menu options are ADT ones, it's not totally reset
Can someone point out the (probably obvious) thing that I'm missing.
