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

[camerabloke]

You need to gain access to engineers menu to disable line volts. Eng code will be locked by ADT. Other option is to default panel which I'm not sure can be posted on an open forum

Maybe google can help you?

they've got you by the short hairs, mate. you could dis. the dialler, but then the system would probably lock out as it can't see the dialler. bite the bullet. pay 'em the £125, but make sure they change the engineer code to one you can use.

Thanks for replies I tried google, adt said dialler can be disabled and it used as a normal alarm. Other person is this thread had success programming, and I was hoping to do the same, of anybody knows engineers code please pm me

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.


:wink_smile:

have have you programmed In a message centre number?

Unless you have had some training on these panels, then I reckon you'd be stuffed trying to do it.

If you are an electrician, then Honeywell do a free training day for these, and their similar Flex boards. You cant do much without the Installation Manual, even that doesn't tell you how to default the board to factory settings.(and it isnt the easiest thing to set up)
If you do have the engineers code, then it'll be code 47 (remote access) that needs changing.I cant remember the details, but it is set to dial out by default, this needs changing to no dial out.

I believe the engineer code is usually 112233. I'm working on a property with the galaxy 18 and had to google to find it to disable while I move pir's

It won't be that if ADT have installed ot

 

[Pete999]

Why is that then?

 

[camerabloke]

Cuz an engineer with any savvy won't leave it as default.....oh I forgot its ADT we are talking about

Thanks for replies, I have tried the default code but it's not that.
I have managed to disconnect the alarm from the phone line but now the alarm beeps in the middle of the night because it can't dial out! I then cleared it with my user code.

I don't fancy doing a training course but thanks for the suggestion

Any help to disable the dial out would be much appreciated

There is no way of disabling it without the engineers code.
It is possible to reset these boards to default/factory settings.
I'm not putting those details here. Other forums have published the procedure before.
Then you will need the engineers manual to program it. The keypad menu isnt intuitive, so you'll be spending 3 or 4 hours to get it working again.

How about going on ebay and buying a new board? They are around £40 , you can then sell the old one on for £20 to someone who knows how to reset it.
You'll still need to program it, but you wont have the hassle of trying to default it.

Yeah that's my last resort I don't really want to bin the system as it's very recently been replaced.i have found places to get the programming manual and how to default but not sure the method is correct.
If someone knows the engineer code please pm me.
thank you

Bangs head against wall!

You cannot get the engineers code without paying ADT for it.
That's why you have to reset/default the board to factory settings.
