Honeywell, the leading global manufacturer of security solutions, is catering to a new generation of customers with its extensive technology portfolio. This is why home and business owners invest in security systems that are helpful in preventing burglary and other emergencies. When times have become more dangerous, people cannot take chances. Security is a top concern these days, making it a profitable industry too.
Is there a way to default the system back to factory settings? The default code as provided in the Installation and Programming Manual does not work.īefore I ask the local Alarm Company if they can provide the Engineer’s code, is there another way I can enter the system as an Engineer?įailing that, (I imagine the query above will prove futile!) I am willing to reconfigure the system from factory defaults (although would prefer to try other options first). I only have user / manager passcodes and not the engineer’s passcode and hence cannot configure the RIO. I also cannot see it in the ‘Omit Zones’ Menu.
However, the RIO now indicates (via the PCB LED) that it is not configured and although the Sensor LEDs blink red on confirmed detection, I have confirmed that they do not trigger the tamper or intruder alarms (wired as Double Balance). This seems reasonable after spreadsheeting the power consumption of each end device. After some investigation, I found that approximately half of the I/O was connected directly to the main Galaxy board and the other half is connected to a RIO. I have subsequently bought and replaced the PSU with a like-for-like (Elmdene) replacement and also replaced the 2 x back-up batteries as one had failed (<8v) and both were over 6 years old anyway. I have a strong Electronics / Electrical background and decided to 'have a go' myself. I managed to silence / reset the system and the local Alarm Company assessed the damage as an external PSU failure and quoted £250 to complete the job. However, a few months ago the alarm failed during a thunder and lightning storm.
I continued a contract with a local Alarm Company as a matter of course and they 'inspect' the system annually. I have recently inherited a Honeywell Galaxy 2-20 System when I moved into a new house at the start of the year.
