You need to check to see if there is a 4724 module plugged into the
lower left of the main board. This is a memory expansion and
programming enhancement. If there is nothing there, then programming is
done in hexidecimal format and can be a real bear. If there is, then
you can program from the keypad more easily. To set the entire panel
back to factory default do the following. First, turn off the main
power switch. Second, locate the LX buss connecters just above the long
terminal strip at the bottom of the board, there will be two and both
are identicle. Locate the second and the fifth pins from the left.
Place a short accross these pins. Third, turn power back on. Once the
keypad initallizes, remove the shorting jumper.The keypad will then ask
'Default All Yes  No ". press 1 for yes 2 for no. This will default ALL
programming in the panel. New code will be 123456. I have been told
there is no other way to default the installer code. Once defaulted,
programming is best done with the computer software that works with the
pannel. If you know someone that has a 5520 programmer from Silent
Knight, then they can plug the chip into the pannel and read any
information you need. Changes can be made at that time also.
