Re: ademco 5241 repair

["Roland More" <NoSpamroland@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

An Ademco 1023? Let's see. There were two versions. A regualar 1023 that was
a 6 volt system, and a 1023-12 that was a 12 volt system. The only keypad I
remember using on that system was a 215/216 combination of parts that had a
kepad with a single LED status indicator.
In any case, figure out if you have the 6 or 12 volt model. The instructions
for the Ademco 5241 can be found here
