HKC Securewatch alarm reset

feartheclaw

Hi all
I have a HKC Securewatch alarm (at least 10 years old) but wasn't given the codes when i bought the house. I contacted the guy who installed the alarm and he gave me a code but that set the alarm off. So i disconnected a yellow wire from the circuit board and that knocked off the alarm. If i reconnect the wire the alarm goes off. I've tried 01111 and 04567 and a few other things suggested but no luck. So I need help I think...

This was a few years ago and I want to get the alarm working again - anyone know anyone who could have a look at it?

Thanks

I like your user name .

Here is a list of all PSA licensed installers, have a look through it, any installer worth his salt will sort you no problem at all as you have the most popular manufactured system installed.

Have a look here https://www.psa.gov.ie/en/PSA/1A.-Register-of-Contractor-Licensees-(AllSectors).pdf/Files/1A.-Register-of-Contractor-Licensees-(AllSectors).pdf

Chat to at least 3, tell them your problem and find out what their costs are before you commit. Your system can be defaulted easily and reprogrammed with new codes etc.

And don't believe any of them who tell you it has to go back to HKC along with an extra charge. I had 2 customers told that down in Chapelgate this month alone by the same person.

One other issue - I had a Velux window replaced a few years ago and the guy pulled out the alarm sensor and plastered over the wire - I know...don't ask...!! Will this cause problems?

It depends on how the wire was lef. Whether its a loop or a single cable, whether its the end of a loop or in the middle of a loop.
The wort case scenario is if it is in the middle of a loop & continuing on to more windows/doors and the cables have been left separated.End of a loop or a cable on its own is easily removed from the system.
No way to tell you more without looking at it..
