Re: Ademco 50P - Unable To Disarm

["Crash Gordon" <webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Powering down & up again should not disarm the system, it should come back
up in the same state it went down in.
Call the CS and make sure system is still on test.
Power the system back up, AC first, then connect the battery.
Then enter your code + OFF.
If that doesn't work you've somehow screwed up your code. Try someone else's
code to disarm.

If that doesn't work you'll need the Master Code to redo your code (unless
your code is the Master <?>)

| Hello to All,
|
| I am suddenly unable to disarm my Ademco 50P system.  Any and all help
| appreciated.
|
| Details:
|
| - system was working fine for months.
|
| - worker with key entered building unaware the alarm had been
| activated.  When the alarm went off, he pushed the OFF (#1) button on
| the keypad.  There are seven active model 6150 keypads installed.
|
| - awakened by alarm, I entered my code then the OFF button on a
| different keypad.  I do not know whether the worker and I were punching
| buttons at the same time.
|
| - the alarm continued rather than going into DISARMED.  After several
| attempts to disarm, I successfull experimented in changing the armed
| state from AWAY to STAY and back again.  Again I do not know whether
| the worker was still pressing the OFF key.
|
| - I answered Central Station's question that all humans were okay, I
| had  them put my system into test.
|
| - I then turned the system off for varying periods of time by throwing
| the ac current switch and pulling battery connections.  I hoped this
| would somehow reset the system.  That was yesterday.
|
| - After leaving the system unpowered overnight, I just (09:30 EST)
| turned it on... then off.  The system continues to stay armed.
|
| Any thoughts?
|
| TIA
|
