Re: Ademco 50P - Unable To Disarm

["Don" <dedeaux@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for the suggestion I will try it in the morning.  In the
meantime, in pursuing the suggestions made here, I realized I left out
possibly pertinent information.  To wit:  the system insists there is
an alarm fault.  Details:

- powered up the system, ac then batteries

- reset the master/installer code (the only code in the system since I
am currently the only user)

- system went into the default  Disarmed Ready to Arm - green light
position

- after the usual time I think of as the Vista 50P's version of a
computer's Power On Self Test (POST), the system went into alarm and
would not let me disarm.  This is actually the primary reason I
originally powered the system down, the noise is a killer.

Building on suggestions here, I today disconnected only one of the 7
keypads before powering up with the above results.  Tomorrow, I will
take down all but one and do the incremental add.  Problem is that this
is a two-person job because the panel is quite distant from the keypads
and that alarm goes off about three minutes or less after boot up!

Considering the system's insistence that some contact (an Entry?) is in
alarm, I will also check whether the door contacts through which the
worker entered have been compromised.  Even were this so, however,
should I not be able to Disarm?

To all, Enjoy the beginning of summer and thanks.
