I had to move supplies from the cabinets before I could find the outlet-mind you, I didn't _know_ the outlet was _there_ until I found it, I just knew it had to be _somewhere_ and I had searched the entire house first and was reduced to accounting for every foot of wall space where an outlet might be. On one occasion it was 5 feet from the control panel but a cabinet had been added to the wall after the alarm system was installed-which, of course, isn't obvious to a Service Tech fifteen years later. I've had service calls where it took me over an hour to find the transformer. The transformer is _usually_ near the control, but sometimes in an odd place because the installer had to use what he could find available. It's plugged into an electrical outlet somewhere, and you should find out where all your outlets are, anyway. Just to piggyback on what PJMax said about locating the transformer: There are only so many places the transformer can be. Zones refer to points of protection: Doors, windows, motion sensors, etc-the panel doesn't know or care where the keypads are located relative to zones. There is no relationship between zones and keypads. You can even change keypads during the process: Go into program mode with the nearest keypad and then use another keypad if its display is better. That's why you don't bother to reconnect the battery yet: You're racing the clock, unless the keypad is right next to your panel.Īny keypad will work. Just keep in mind that if you aren't going to locate the transformer first, then you have to re-connect Terminal 1 _and_ reach the keypad within 50 seconds. Can I just disconnect those wires in the keypad and will that stop the upstairs alerts?Īt this point I have a headache from the alarm. I've opened up be keypad and ive noticed green black red white (from left to right) wires. Now, it has "alarm 99 police emergency" imputed on the keypad, along with other codes that were previously there.Īll we want to do is get into the system to turn off the alert for the upstairs when a door downstairs opens. Immediately, a very loud alarm came on that said "alarm police emergency". I attempted to find the installer code, but since I couldn't find the ac plug for the system, I only disconnected the battery from the main unit and waited a minute, and then pressed * and # at the same time, within 50 secs. Thanks to this forum, I have the manuals. My goal is to turn off the door alarm when any door opens, because we can hear it upstairs and it wakes one of us up in the morning, since we have different schedules, it's a bit agitating. I've read the well written sticky for the safewatch pro 3000. We don't know the master code/installer code. I've purchased a used home last week that has adt installed, and currently inactive.
