ADT Honeywell Galaxy 2 Alarm... DIY Help Needed...

All very contradictory... mucho confused.com

I managed to reset a Eurosec alarm which an alarm engineer advised me was locked by following the instructions in the manual (found online) but I did have to resolve a fault on a PIR and ensure all trigger conditions and tampers were nul first. I am not experienced with alarms but they are very logical. The information provided above does seem to be your best bet. Alternatively a half decent panel and keypad can be had for around £45to £50 and you can wire in your existing sensors. An SAB bell box is under £25. If you go DIY as I did you will have to get your head round the terminology and experiment a bit but it is satisfying when it works. Good luck!

Thanks for help and guidance thus far. I'll read through the replies herein and see if I can't work out a solution.

IMO, for the time spent faffing about with the galaxy, buy a eurosec.

Followed the steps within the DIYNOT weblink: established link (0V and Tamp), but noted there were NO connections to zone 1 (1001), to remove.

I was unable to silence the system by entering the 'default code(s)' - nor did inputting the 'engineer's code' make a difference, either.

The RKP stated 'User re-set required' - however, inputting my user code made no difference, either.

These panels can have just the codes set to default... The NVM chip will retain all other data and parameters.


Contact a local company to complete the works, all in with installation of speech dialler etc it's no more than 3 hrs work.

Also having an SSAIB or NACOSS company commission the system may be of relevance to your insurers.

Finally managed to perform a system default and restore :17:

I have full access privileges now and no longer have to dance to the tune of ADT and their penchant for robbing Jo Public blind, nor do I need to consider junking a system that I've paid over £1500 for these past 3 years!

Just need to wire-in an external bell box/siren and strobe now and potentially, a speech dialer - can't seem to get the SMS facility operative, but I'm guessing that might be due to incorrect/inadequate soft/firm ware.

Thanks for your help, guidance and patience on this one - much appreciated.

so , can you share with us how you managed the default and restore? this has come up before with these panels, and it would be good to know.

after defaulting, yes. it's getting back to the factory settings that was the problem.
