Re: Need help troubleshooting Ademco panel...lengthy

["Crash Gordon" <webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It's scrolling through troubles and alarms.
Enter your code + off and then code + off again.
That will only clear the troubles, not solve them.

You're probably gonna need a service call to resolve the troubles. 70 per hr
is not excessive, if they have records on the system (they should if they
installed it) it shouldnt take more than an hour. You'll probably need a new
system battery and you might also have some wireless points that need
batteries or covers...hard to tell without having record of the install.

Monitoring rate tied to your credit score sounds like one of the big alarm
companies routine...but 22 bucks is a fair rate these days.

| HI everyone,
|  I recently purchased a home  that has an alarm with an Ademco panel .
| I think  it's about 8 years old. I'm not sure what model it is. But I
| can locate the model number if you tell me where to find it. The
| problem is when I plug the panel in there's a constant tone and the
| panel shows check 09, check 61, check 10, alarm 04, and alarm 05. The
| previous owner didn't have it serviced and disconnected the panel.  I
| called the company that installed the alarm and they tried to sell
| (browbeat) me a  "monitoring contract on special for $22.00 per/mo for
| 3 years on autopay if your credit score is 650 or greater", all before
| I got a chance to speak to someone about my problem. If I have to I'll
| pay their $30.00 to come to my house plus $70.00 per hour to fix it, my
| wife would feel safer with it on, but I just didn't like the way they
| tried to sell me that contract before giving me a chance to tell them
| what my problem was. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in
| advance.
