![]() ![]() ![]() I know this is not the DSC Power forum, but I wonder two things anyway in the "thinking aloud" category.ġ) if I can just read / write the contents of the eepromĢ) if something like this would easily slot in to replace the panel in case i screw it up completely (after not shaving my knuckles for a few days I might be able to set it up )Īnyway I will post any success, progress, insights of failures here. I guess I am about to find out about that! The manual mentions "keypad lockout" in regards to incorrect access code entries, but not installer code entries. This is all super good advice, thank you! Oh yeah, on older DSC panels you can only start a PC-LINK DLS session from installers mode so you're snookered. You could attempt a downloading session but if the installer went to the bother of completely locking out the panel I doubt he would have left the DLS code as default. You are talking about PC-LINK DLS and that has its own secret code as well.

The point where the system is unavailable should theoretically be when I had input the installer code keystrokes. send "*80000" to "*89999" keystrokes), ask for a status report, and then send "#" to go out of programming mode in case it was entered for that code. So the idea would be to go thru all the 10000 codes (that is. ![]() (Maybe there is some other, or better, way to check this?) I am perhaps foolishly making the assumption that the EVL4 does not respond to a "001 please send status report" command if the system is in programming mode. If I fuck it up I'm in no worse position than I would be if I had to redo everything from scratch.īut before I waste the time and listen to 10000 "beeps" for 4-5h from the physical pad it might be good with some feedback. Is there any obvious gotchas before I try it? I can obviously power cycle the system in case something locks up. So, my plan for the moment is to try to "hack" my own system to obtain the installer code. I feel I don't have hairy knuckles enough to reset and reprogram the entire system unless I really have to. I assume none of the owners of the building thru all these years knew it, they just used the arming codes. Company which installed it is long bankrupt. ![]() Installer code for my system lost, probably many years ago (installed early 90s). ![]()
