Veritas R8 Help Please

[SparkyChick]

Just looking at the installers manual for the R8 now, it doesn't mention a backup battery other than the main one so I don't think the NVM requires one.

However, it does mention that if you've lost the engineers code, you can reset the panel to factory defaults. This involves disconnecting all power, re-applying it followed by a button press within 10 seconds, having read the detail, it's entirely possible you reset it yourself without knowing what you were doing.

And before anyone suggests this is bad practice or immoral, this information is available publicly via a google search so I'm not putting anything out there that bad types can't already find (worst of all, it's being hosted by an alarm company).

Just a quick thought, I can't change the wires one at a time as they have to be all fed through a hole in the back panel of the keypad.

So what would be people suggest?

what i do is snip each one close to the terminals in the keypad. this also leaveas a bit of coloured insulation in each terminal so you know what goes where. then cut the + wire 5mm shorter than the rest. once fed back into the new keypad, strip and connect the + first. then the rest one at a time.

Thanks telectrix, I'll do that. This may be a daft question but I'm not that clued up on electrics, will I get a shock from the 12v wire when stripping it?

no danger of shock from 12V.
