Astec Alarm Engineer Locked.

cheers for the reply KoolAid,

When I enter the code and Clear Set Full , call engineer flashes.
I tried to enter what I think is the engineer code and pressed 11, unfortunately same thing just call engineer flashing.

Hi KoolKid hope you might be able to help have astec alarm and like others can't find anyone to service it Installer is now residing in Australia. Im getting a new front door fitted tomorrow and have been told codes etc are needed I'm not sure if I remember the code correctly and don't want to annoy the whole estate. Can I do anything to reset?

The main problems are is the panel or keypad goes.

Hey koolkid, my keypad on mine is showing signs of age. Sometimes one of the keys does not register when pressed, have to press it several times before it registers, so presume the keypad needs to be replaced. Are spare keypads available still?

Hi, I'd like to get an Astec 63 engineer/installation manual, any ideas where I can find this?
Or anybody knows how to change a forgotten user code?
I have engineer code but only user manual...
Thanx

Hi,
Ive an ASTEC 63DV alarm. Changed the battery about 4 month ago as I was getting Mains fault. ALl was sorted. Then about 3 week ago I got a fault 22 and the alarm started going off randomly when set and ringing me and all the other numbers on the list. Thought it was a sensor faulty at first as its been really windy the last few weeks. Then it went off on night at about 3 in morning when alarm wasn't even set. When I ran down to the panel and disarmed to stop the inner sounder the other sounder kept sounding for about 10 or 15 times after that and like it was slow or out tune or something. Really weird. Fault 22 on panel now and when I do the bell test, the external bell and strobes aint doing a thing. Tried the engineer default code off 1174 and nothing happened. how exactly are you meant to enter the code. Do you simple enter 1174 or are you meant to use set, clear or something with that. Got a message, "TAMPER" on the keypad display using one of the key combinations I tried with 1174. Presumably the code was changed. Fitted in 2006ish by a company who Im sure are not in business anymore. Was gonna stick a ladder up to the bellbox and have a look around. doubt I disturbed something when changing the battery few months back as there was nothing wrong until very recently. Any help from anyone as Id love to fix this alarm without having to replace the whole thing. Im aware of the situation with ASTEC alarms and how If one part goes your more or less looking at a new system. Aint got the funds for that sort of stuff at moment and although Im able to set the alarm. I haven't as Im not sure whether its going to randomly go off again. Ive a 1 and half year old child in the house and that's the last I want, it to scare the ****e out of her.
