Honeywell Galaxy 2 - Manager Password - How to change

[robbrownie]

Hi,

After following some instructions posted on the forums here I've setup my Galaxy 2 alarm, so thanks for that!

I've setup two users on my alarm with different codes, however I can still set, and worse unset the alarm with the default manager code.

I can't see where this user is setup and how to change the default code to something more secure.

Could someone point me in the right direction?

Many thanks

have you set it up for keypad access = always in engineering?
or reset levels?

if you aint done this it wont set, (if you have gerated an alarm condition)

master MGR code should reset this if it is set uup in engineering ok

Thanks - but I don't think this is my problem. I can set the alarm fine, and unset it - I don't have any error conditions. My problem is that I can still unlock it with the default managers code. Which is rather easy to guess!

I want to change the default managers code.

I have all the codes, I just can't figure out how to find the menu to change the managers code.

Thanks

You'll have to excuse Oasis, it's an age thing.

If you've got the User manual, it's in there.

Look for Option 42


NOTE: The Manager code is always the last user code.

Select user 001 then scroll back with the B key to select it.

If memory serves the Manager code is User 24 on the G2 series panels
( Could show as 024 ), its been a while.

ta Europlex, !!
make me feel old............well i am, but thats not the point.

OP says he cannot unlock the system once set?
that would mean that the keypad is set to fob only (EN) should be set to always, from except entry,

irrespective of what code is used to set and unset, (or as we say, open the system and close it!!!, just being pedantic!!!)

so go into engineer mode and change the keypad access mode, in parameters setion, set it a s always, cant remember which section and i cant find the bok of lies for the G2.

PS in the GD keypad defaults to always, unlike the G2.
