Google veritas installation manual look at page 14 on how to factory default panel.

 

[adamcarvell]

do you have a link there's loads of them.

ive actually found our own paperback copy of the installation manual and user guide copy . it was installed year 2000.

i dont know if this is significant but before this dissaster when ever i turned power off or had a power cut the alarm never went off either outside or at keypad ? as ive said never ever set the alarm before just would like to if i can get it up and running and change the code to one we can remember?.

right everything wired up checked fuses seems ok pulled off battery cable outside alarm goes off . left it five mins put back battery cable key pad counts down then keypad goes off ?. enter 1234 or 4321 nothing carries had to resort to pulling black wire out from key pads to quieten.

 

[adamcarvell]

also no pirs flashing however upon reconnecting keypad I can enter 1234 and 4 red zones light up but will not set ? also the door chime alert has gone mrs wants that back if anyone can help. and the outside strobe is flashing red and green . anyone around with what to do im at a loss .

 

[sparkymarka]

I take it you didn't read page 14 of the manual how to default the codes back to 1234/4321 ?

 

[adamcarvell]

if I press 1234 the four zones light up on key pad but wont set but none of the pirs flash when I walk past them.
