Hi All:
Can the phone number on a ADEMCO home alarm (VIA39+, VISTA10, 4111XM) be
changed from the one it now dials? Ant help is appreciated.

Yes. You'll need access to installer level programming. This can be
done from the keypad (unless of course the installing company "locked
out" keypad and local programming). If that's the case, you're SOL.
You can always disconnect the board and send it to a number of different
individuals that post here who will unlock it and default it for a fee.
Jim Rojas in Florida, Bob Campbell in Ontario, and "AJ" in Vancouver.
Or you can replace it with a new upgraded one (just make sure your
keypads are compatible).

The VIA39+ will be hard to unlock eh?

Thank you Frank and Crash for the reply. I guess it is a little above me to
change the phone number. I guess it is going to be easier to change alarm
systems. I was with an alarm company for 3 years and not satisfied with the
service. Almost a half hour response time. They are now out of business.
Wanted to change the number from them to a neighbor who could look out the
window and write down a plate number at least.
Thanks again guys for taking your time to reply to my question.

What if the neighbor isn't home? What happens if there's a fire or
medical emergency
Do you feel comfortable placing your family's safety in the hands of
your neighbor because it will save a few bucks?
Did you test your system weekly?
What signal was sent that took 1/2 an hour for a response, and did you
disarm the system immediately after it tripped?
Call a few local alarm companies and have them look at your system, and
possibly switch you to a more reliable monitoring station.
If you want help locating some NY companies then email me and I'll be
glad to help.

Best of luck,

Tom

HAving the alarm dial your neighbor will not do any good unless your
neighbor happens to be fluent in 4-2, 3-1 or maybe CID...at 3am when your
alarm goes off and dials your neighbor he'd probably think its a fax machine
and go back to sleep.

I haven't dealt with VIA or XM models (hate XM anyway), so this doesn't
apply if you've got that. But if you've got a vista 10 then goto
panelguides.com, download the installer manual, and read about how to
enter programming during power-up. It's helped me take a number of
panels away from other companies.


P.S.- if it doesn't work, it's locked out. on DSC the phone relay
clicks several times if lockout is enabled. I can't remember off the
top of my head if it applies here.

Via-30 is just a slightly altered Vista-10 and the 16 is just a 4110XM

The old XM is another story but not hard to program

 

[Crash Gordon]

man...i ripped out an old 4140 today (yah sunday yet)...forgot how freeking
big the circuit boards where back then!...almost the entire top half of the
ademco cabinet. It's resting in my garage right now...target practice or
doorstop - what do you recommend?

Tape a couple of road flares and a coil of wire to it, and leave it in a
7-eleven parking lot.

[Crash Gordon]

along with the under-carpet trap too?

what a mess this one was...idiots used duct tape (and plenty of it) to mark
the wires (unjacketed twisted pair)...you know what that stuff turns into
after 15 years of az heat?...one gooey sticky mess. Had to untangle the
rats nest and clean all the wires off with alcohol and ring them all
out..just that took 4 hours...sheesh. It's real purty now though

It'd make a dandy replacement for any Moose panel

Hmm. I didn't know that alcohol could clean that stuff off.
That's good to know.

I use denatured alcohol all the time, takes the goo off. I use it on metal
windows before attaching surface contacts too, never fall off.

Jack Daniels works ok too
