Question I have an EN1550 (by Digital Security Controls DSC) and I like to change the master code. Recently we had a false alarm, and my kids gave the master code away to some neighbors to silence the alarm. Is this easy? I am good with electronics. The system is 25 years old & still working fine. thanks Maury
Answer Hello Maury, and thanks for writing. Here's a link to the user manual for your system:
Here's how to reprogram your codes (copied from the manual):
Program Security Codes: Press [*][5], then enter [Master Code] to enter in programing mode for codes. As soon as this command is
entered, the "Memory" , "Bypass" and "Trouble" light will begin to flash. The zone lights are used to indicate the program status of the 6 security codes (light off - code is not programmed ; light on - code is programmed ; light flashing - this code is being programmed).
Zone 1=Master code . Select a code by pressing a key from 1 to 6 (the coresponding zone-light will start to flash). Enter the [4 digit] New-code. Press [#] to return to ready mode.
Press [#].... when an error is made in entering code, then enter code again. to return to ready state after using [*] commands.
