Hi
Recently had a battery replacement on our aging Galaxy 500 alarm system and seems everything's got reset. Electrician who did the job for us insists it wasn't him and to go elsewhere. Besides, we live in a rented house and don't have a good relationship with the landlord at the moment, who paid to get the job done.
Anyway, I've got manager and engineer codes and a manual from online somewhere and with that I've set back the user pin. So far so good. However, when setting the alarm and going to timer there'd be a very long continuous beep instead of just a two second one followed by a series of short beeps. On top of that, after a few seconds the panel changes to 1021 INTRUDER and then the countdown restarts all over again. That was about two weeks ago.
Today, I found option 52 PROGRAM ZONES and could see that all zones from 1021 to 1028 were set to 03 INTRUDER. I changed 1021 and 1022 to 01 FINAL and this time the old way of the panel came back when setting the alarm. The only problem is that when the series of beeps stop and the panel goes from SYSTEM SET to blank, like it used to I think, the outside alarm rings out! I then have to enter the user code followed by the ENT button to unset the alarm.
I really think I'm close to cracking this, but haven't got a clue what FINAL, EXIT, ENTRY, INTRUDER, PUSH-SET etc etc actually mean. And I can't keep trying different functions because sooner or later one of the neighbours will tell our landlord if the alarm keeps seemingly randomly ringing out.
Yes, I should have told the landlord the truth that the alarm needed further inspection, but I didn't and too much time has passed. Please can someone shed some light on this evil thing that got my hopes up?
