Re: Brinks BHS2000D Hack

[Jim Rojas <jrojas+tech-man.com>]

I made an interesting discovery yesterday. It seems you can program the
older 670, 1000, 1200, & 2000 Brinks panels using an Acron P4000 eprom
programmer. You do have to pull he chip off the main board though. Then
all you need is a program function map to get you through the
programming. Anyone familiar with how Moose panel programming works
should have no problem doing this. I am also looking into the
possibility of using the Moose Z1100P programmer to accomplish the same
thing without removing the chip. Many of those older panels used the
same exact chips. I will create diagram pinouts, with step by step
instructions, so these programmers can be interfaced without that much
trouble.

Brinks will probably argue that since Acron was purchased by
Scantronics, therefore the P4000 contains their intellectual property as
well... :)

This information will be added to the November 2007 issue of Tech Help.
I will continue to publish more information as I discover them.
