    You're a life saver 👍 I've lived in my house for 8 years without using this alarm system until one day recently it started beeping every time I opened a door. Obviously I had no idea what the code was. No more beeping! 🎉

    • @officialoofyt
      @officialoofyt 10 місяців тому +5

      Thats the chime feature. You can turn it off by (your code) + 9
      The code is most likely 1234 (default master code), 6321 (default ADT installer code), or 4112 (default ademco installer code).
      Or you can backdoor into it if lockout is disabled, like he does.

    Thank you for being so informative! We have the ADT panel you are demonstrating in your video. It came with 2 prox tags, one of which stopped working in arming and disarming the system. ADT no longer sells these prox tags but I found them online through a security company. We would like to know how to get them to work with our system. The information we find says to enter the master code + 8 + XX(an available location) + the 4 digit serial number of the tag. How do we find the 2 digit location number to use? When the system was installed 5 years ago, they gave us a list of the locations of windows, doors, and smoke/heat detectors.

    • @DIYELEKTRONICKITS
      @DIYELEKTRONICKITS  8 місяців тому

      You will have to give me a bit of time to get your info,,, has been a while me since using prox tags,,, but the 2 digits you refer to are the position of the code associated with the tag,,, so let's say you want one for the master code user and his or her code is in position 2 when it was programmed into the system, so his or her 2 digits would be 02,,,, then little Suzy wants a prox tag and her code is in 05 so the 2 digits for her tag would be 05 and so on

      From what I can tell from my list, locations 9-42 are taken with the various windows, doors, smokes, etc. The number 50 is written next to "fob" with the 2 digit numbers 99 and 95 written under the 50. If 50 is the location of the 2 original fobs, can we now "install" more than one fob at that same location without inadvertently deleting the one that works? Or can we select a location above 50? I have no idea what is in locations 1-8, if anything. Is there a way to find out what is currently programmed at each location by doing something with the panel?

    • @DIYELEKTRONICKITS
      @DIYELEKTRONICKITS  8 місяців тому

      Each fob takes up 4 zones so if it's marked 50 most likely the installer used 50-54 for that fob,,,99 and 95 simply indicate police panic and medical is active on the keyfob.

      Thank you for taking the time to try to help! We're still having issues however. Is there a limit to the number of locations available? Or do we have to somehow "program" a location to accept the fob prior to entering the series of numbers I previously mentioned? It would be useful to be able to determine which locations ARE available. Otherwise the fobs I bought just aren't compatible even though they look the same. Thank you, again!

    I have an Alarm Pro 3000. The keypad appears to be identical to the one in your video and on the lower left of panel is 'Safewatch Pro 3000'. I am original home owner and I know the 4 digit code to arm and disarm system. In January 2024 I closed my account with ADT because I decided to get rid of my landline. Also, inside the main control is a label above the phone line connection that says "ADT Pulse Line Approved". Folded paper with wiring diagram inside the main control panel has a handwritten 10 digit number on the paper. Master programming code? For the last 5 months I've had no problem with the system. Yesterday, after disarming the system the display is now flashing FC then 05 alternately. Additional text reads 'Not Ready' with the word 'chime' beneath. I can no longer arm the system. Obviously, since I no longer have a landline the system is no longer communicating with ADT. Is there a way to clear the code and restore normal functionality of the system? Thank you!

It's not alarming just beeping and when it does off at night it wakes the wife...Boom! I have changed the battery many times and it continues to happen randomly. I just noticed that this specific sensor is mounted 180deg different than the other doors. IE removal tab on bottom, others on top.

    I have the beige box with the battery just like you have in the video. But I also have another smaller box that says ADT with four vertical LED lights at the top of it. Both the beige box and the smaller box are plugged in to an outlet. Is there anything special or unique about the small box I need to be aware of?
