ADT Honeywell Galaxy 2 Alarm... DIY Help Needed...

[DL electrician]

These panels can have just the codes set to default... The NVM chip will retain all other data and parameters.


Contact a local company to complete the works, all in with installation of speech dialler etc it's no more than 3 hrs work.

Also having an SSAIB or NACOSS company commission the system may be of relevance to your insurers.

Finally managed to perform a system default and restore :17:

I have full access privileges now and no longer have to dance to the tune of ADT and their penchant for robbing Jo Public blind, nor do I need to consider junking a system that I've paid over £1500 for these past 3 years!

Just need to wire-in an external bell box/siren and strobe now and potentially, a speech dialer - can't seem to get the SMS facility operative, but I'm guessing that might be due to incorrect/inadequate soft/firm ware.

Thanks for your help, guidance and patience on this one - much appreciated.

:wink_smile:

so , can you share with us how you managed the default and restore? this has come up before with these panels, and it would be good to know.

after defaulting, yes. it's getting back to the factory settings that was the problem.

I'm not sure whether it'd be the right thing to do publishing the method for defaulting here, as others (many in the alarm/security industry), have said before.

The method is not too dissimilar to the one published on the DIYNOT website, however that particular method is incorrect.

Performing the default does retain all previous settings thankfully, so zones/user's and other set parameters remain in the system memory.

That reply is a bit of a joke, given that you came onto a public forum to ask the question in the first place! Bye the bye, I don't require the info as I know what can and can't be done with this panel.

 

[Master_Mayhem]

Eh... no more of a joke than your reply, Polo.

1) If you know the way to perform a default, why haven't you passed this information on to me/someone else in need of assistance?
2) If you expect me to relay the default process publicly - when fully aware of the method yourself - why don't you do so?

There's the joke!

It's my guess that the sort of intruder who goes straight to the keypad and board and performs a factory reset in order to silence an alarm doesn't really need to drop in here to get the data.

which, of course is not possible if the alarm is set, and should by that time be in full alarm.

Chill - I wasn't suggesting that you should post such info on a public forum - rather that it was ironic that you sought such info on a public forum and then go on to suggest that it's not good form to give out this kind of detail.:devilish:

 

[reefclown]

would really appreciate if someone could pm me the reset information as would also like to be able to self maintain my out of contract galaxy 2-20.

please

 

[reefclown]

if there is an engineer that can come out to Mortlake ot reset the engineer code for a Galaxy g-20 that was previously under a ADT contract at a reasonable price then please pm me.

Hello
Please could somebody help me, I have taken ownership of a property with a Galaxy 2, and it keeps dialing up everynight costing me a fortune in phone bills.

ADT want £125 plus vat to send an engineer to disable the dial up, and allow the alarm to still be used.

I am an electrician, and don't want to bin the system, and would appreciate it if somebody could guide me how to disable the phone dial up, but so I can still use the alarm system.

Thank you
