when i've done that acorn, i'll just programme my new code from factory default code of '0123'.. all i want is the loop to reset the panel to do it..

cheers peter but this is an 8 zone so wudn't first link be '17' to poss '31' (+ set) i know they went up in multiple of ten to the (+ set) link but this panel doesn't seem to do that.. i'm not sure whether try it or not as i don't want to risk damage to the panel
regards

When you've done that, how are you going to reprogramme it?

- Remove mains supply and control panel
- Disconnect batery
- Remove wires from 9 & 19
- Link 9 & 19
- Re-apply power
- Powers up with no alarm and NVM is cleared and in test mode
- remove link from 9 & 19, replace original wires
Job done.

Have got one of these, still boxed, will dig out the manual tomorrow and reply with the answer. In the meantime try browsing on-line for a manual.
