Homeowner Forum / Security Alarms / August 2007

I recently added an RF sensor at zone 37 to my Vista 20P system. I was
able to program all but the descriptors for the zone.  I can't figure
out how to enter the alpha descriptors "Garage-Outside." According to
the programming manual, the codes should be 089 (garage) and 140

We just took over another Brinks Home Security System today.
The NEW Homeowner called Brinks 3 time to get the system up and running.
After the 3rd call and no call back they called us in to replace the CPU and Key pad...Guess time to sell it on
E-BAY.

I am having some difficulty understanding how to properly program a DSC
Power 832 panel with 2 partitions sharing a common entry door.  This is in a
duplex with an outside door to a hallway.  Each apartment has it's own entry
door off of this common hallway.  I have two LCD ...

Lurker here. I recently picked up an Ademco 1023 (yes I know its old and not
feature rich) to alert me when my shed is tampered with. Only one door and
one window. The system works fine, the only problem is the key pad does not
want to work at all...If I use a key switch, no ...

I was wondering what folks here are doing to help customers with bad
Northern N1000 II panels now that the product is EOL. I had a weird failure
on one where the internal timer failed. The door open pulse lasted over a
minute instead of the default 10 seconds. Factory tech ...

Replacement board came today, and it works. So the original DSC 4020CF panel
was bad out of the box. To those DSC guys lurking, Your QC SUCKS, and your
"tech support" may as well not exist.

I have a Moose Z1100 System I that was never monitored and would now like to
have it monitored. It was connected to a phone line, but it does not appear
to dial. Are there any possible programming options that enable dialing? I
saw an earlier thread from April 2007 that talked about ...

Is there someone who can program a Communicator PROM for my Ademco 4160
system? I have the number and subscriber ID to put into it as well as will
supply the blank part.  Are there any other fields of data that have to go
in there for basic monitoring (including fire detection)?  ...

Of course i get an urgent call today they need the wiring prints for job
they could not wait for me to complete and do not want to pay me for and are
going to have corprate complete  and had to be by 11pm tonight f.ck them.
All of a sudden they now need me they can go f.ck off and ...

I have installed a Ademco 998PI/998EXPI unit. it detects motion fine
(LED glows on any motion) - but does not trigger an alarm.. is there
some pet sensitivity threshold I can adjust? Or something else which
is causing the problem?  When I open doors the alarm works fine. I

I have a Ademco Vista-10SE unit where everything works perfectly from
the alpha keypads, but when i set the unit to Chime (sound on door
open without alarm), it does not chime - even though the display shows
that the door has been opened.

I have a new 4020CF commercial fire panel V 3.54 that won't answer a
download call. Verified connections, polarity, voltages, and programming
with no luck. DSC tech support is clueless. Anyone had a similar problem?
