Hiya,
In our new house we inherited an astec 63 alarm system. During rennovations I tried to relocate the base unit. In doing so I seem to have activated a tamper alarm in the unit. Doh! The message 'call engineer - code 15' is on-screen and 'tamper lid' displays when when I try to turn the alarm on. The alarm won't actually turn on because of this.
From googling and reading the other alarm related threads on different boards it seems that I either need my engineering code (it's not the default) or to do a factory reset. It's unlikely that I can get the code as there isn't even an installers sticker/number on the unit, and the previous owners are long gone. So would anyone have any info on factory reseting? I have the PCB exposed at this stage.
I really appreciate any help here, I am reluctant to pay 100 euro for a call out just to take a jumper on/off and power cycle if that's all that is required.
Thanks a mill for any help.
Cheers,
