dsc 832 problems

[dani]

Hi,
I have a DSC 832 panel wich don't enter programming. Right after i
type *8 it makes an error sound (long beep); typing the installer code
is useless. First time i got this, i had already entered programming
a couple of seconds ago and after a couple of weeks, the problem went
away. Two days ago i was working on that system and today i got that
error after *8 again.
Also I am skeptical about doing a hardware reset, since I won't be
able to reprogam the panel if the reset won't solve te problem.

I really need help on this.

A minor problem with DSC 832: some reporting codes willl reprogram
once in a while (i.e. CID programmed code 1401 goes to 14C1). 2
different 832 panels have done that. Can you explain?

If the system is partitioned and one of the partitions is armed or a 24 hour
zone is in alarm then I believe you won't be able to enter programming. I
don't think you can enter programming if the system is communicating or
attempting to communicate either

If your panel is armed, or has both partitions enabled, and either partition
is armed, you will not be able to enter installer programming.
