Hi all,

Excuse my ignorance but I dont know much about alarms having never
installed one. Ive moved into a new house and there is a veritas 8c
alarm on the wall. When I went to view the house the alarm wasnt set,
when I moved in it went off! The estate agent doesnt seem capable of
getting the code from the vendor and Ive been waiting 2 weeks now with
a beeping alarm.

Is it possible to drain the power on the NVM or to reset the panal back
to the default settings and enter my own user code..? Its only a DIY
installation.

Cheers
Rolf

Yes it is possible to reset to factory default, but as there are different
versions of this panel and it will need reprogramming after defaulting, I
would advise you get a local installer / engineer to do this for you.

Thanks for the help..I'm hoping I can reprogram it myself..its quite a
small setup and I have managed to get the installation manual which has
lots of help and clear guidence except for the question of resetting
the panel! Its a veritas 8 compact.

Im still hoping that the estate agent will come good with the code and
resetting it is a last resort and if it goes wrong I can then get an
alarm guru out to reprogram it.

So if anyone can provide the reset sequence I'd appreciate it.

The installation manual does state this;

"If the Engineer code has been lost, provided it has not been locked
(section 3.2.2,
page 21) power down the system (mains and battery). Restore power. All
the
indicator lights will illuminate for 10 seconds. Press RESET or SLOWLY
press and
release the panel lid tamper spring 3 times, before the indicator
lights turn off. The
factory settings have now been re-loaded into the Non Volatile Memory."

But doesnt mention if this resets the user key code as well..I just
want my alarm to stop beeping =)

Thanks
Rolf

Incidentally Im still hopeful the estate agent will come good with the
code, but if not I'll reset it as a last resort and then if it all goes
horribly wrong I can get an alarm guru in to reprogram it.
