Hi,
I'm new to the forum and a novice at programming this system (I do have some experience in programming a Honeywell Vista 20-P). This system was installed around the mid-90's. Nothing fancy - just the burglar sensors were installed - no fire or telephone lines for monitoring. I'm trying to help a friend resurrect the system. We've tried the default dealer code and user code with no luck. I have the manuals and have read through them but can't find the specific answers to a couple of questions:
(1) If I default the panel, do I lose all the programming (I think I do but want to make sure). Any way to see or backup the settings before I default the panel?
(2) For my Vista 20-P system, I have to program every sensor - is it the same for the P800? On the panel itself, there are 6 zones identified. Is each zone a single sensor?
I'm sorry if I've left out a lot of info, I'm just getting started. Thanks for any info you can share.
