About Fred P. Wessells
Expertise
I can provide advice regarding most aspects of home and personal security & safety, as well as just about anything related to computer security. Lighting to locks to windows and more. I DO NOT WANT QUESTIONS ON ALARM SYSTEMS, other than common smoke/carbon monoxide detectors. This is not my area of expertise. How to keep from needing an alarm system is more in my area!

Experience
I have worked in the industry for 18 years as a security officer, feature writer and editor for a national security magazine and as a security consultant.

Publications
Security Technology & Design magazine, Access Control magazine, Locksmith Ledger magazine, several community newspapers and legal newsletters.

Security & Fire Protection Systems - FA260 dl Not Ready

Expert: Fred P. Wessells - 10/31/2009

Question
I experienced a power outage after which I cannot arm my First Alert FA260. It displays a dl Not Ready on the keypad. All zones are secured as always. Nothing works as before.

Answer
As my profile states, I know virtually nothing about any particular alarm. So try this Web site:

http://audio.manualsonline.com/ex/product/headline/m/first_alert/d/home_security...

That should give you the manual for your alarm system, and hopefully from that you can determine what to do. If that doesn't work, then you need to contact an alarm installer.

Good luck.
