Astec Alarm Installation Manual

Hi - Recently moved into a new home which has an astec 63 alarm. I've downloaded the user manual but was wondering if anyone could send me the installation manual please? For some reason the part set was never setup correctly!

Cheers Koolkid - appreciate it!

looking for a battery for my astec panel anyone got one handy alos I have loads of sensors & parts for the whole spectrum of alarms (Astec)

Hi I have an Aztec 49 DVD alarm in the house for about 8 years. For the last good while its giving an "error 22 call engineer" message on the display. When I try and set the alarm (full or part) it says " 1 5AB fault" I have rang the installer a few times but he has failed to show up. Is there a way of clearing this code? Or what should I do? I don't have a manual.

Thank you for the quick response. looks like I need to find somebody who will look at it.

Hi, i've been searching through the forums there trying to find info on the Astec 49D panel.

Mate has it in her new house and asked me to have a look, don't know much about the panels at all, think there a bit before my time from what i can figure, i've only been working on alarms past two years or so and am used to user friendly HKC's and Aritech's

Is there a way to get the engineer manual and a way to default the panel as there is no way to get the engineer code, theres only 4 zones on it so may be easier in the long run to just re-program it,
Also are the sensors and pirs closed protocol or can i change for say an aritech sensor without an interface to do so?

Sorry for the long message and any help is much appreciated

Thats great man, sound for that, i'll have a look over it tomorrow and come back to wreck your head cheers

A factory default on your system will bring it back to factory settings. One of the easiest system out there to reprogram. If it is engineer locked it wont default and you would need an engineer to default the system.

Global sensors can be added to this system. Even Pirs can be added.

Hi KoolKid,
is there any possibility to PM engineer/ installation manual for Astec 63?
Thanx a lot!

Thanks, You're a star!

Your welcome, any problems let us know

As a matter of fact there are... Here's my story:

We are soon moving in to 7 year old house with Astec 63 system installed. The panel disconnected and battery dead, no codes known. Previous owner said he just disconnected it because once it went off for no reason, that's it. I've just had engineer visit, he reconnected everything and he attempted a factory reset. He said that it's engineer locked and I'd have to replace the whole system. I find it hard to believe that nothing can be done. <snip> the company that put it, quoted me €250 for the reset and service, that's a lot don't You think?

What are my options? Should I just leave it and don't bother or...?

Thanks for Your help

Any recommendations or should I just shop around and ask?

Thanks

Take a look at the sticky.
Where are you located?

I'm in Clongriffin, Dublin 13. I don't want to make anybody angry, i just explained what happened to me in my alarm "adventure" so far. The panel is engineer locked. Engineer I had over told me to change the whole system, the company that installed the alarm wants €250 for defaulting the panel and service. That's all.
I'm just here to find somebody who can fix this for a reasonable price. Perhaps I shouldn't have named the company, sorry
