Everyone: If you are not going to answer the question DON’T POST. The question is not how to install a new battery. The question is not how to reset the system. original poster knows the battery is low. They know that pressing status tells them the problem. They know pressing disarm stops the beeping alarm for only 4 hours. The problem is it takes DAYS to get a replacement battery because only found through mail order. The unit runs on AC. So how do we get it to stop being annoying short of killing the AC, and pulling the battery -which is not logical to have to disarm for days just to get the darn thing to stop being annoying.
How to keep protecting my house, using the available AC power, without annoying alarm beeping during the night and starting its every minute beeping every four hours all day. Totally bad design if no way to shut up a known battery problem.
You will need the installer code to change the setting. Factory default is 1234. press the up or down arrow until "system programming" appears on display. press "OK" and "enter code" appears. Enter installer code. If it accepts it, "access codes" appear on the display. Use the down arrow until "timers" shows on display. Press"OK". Press the down arrow until "auto phone test tm" appears on display. Press" OK". use up and down arrows to adjust to "off". Press"OK". press "Status" and "timers" is shown. Press up arrows until "phone numbers" is showing on display. Press "OK" press "OK" again press "disarm" press "OK" press "Status" 4 times. You have now completed removing the phone number and turning off the phone test.
Note: The default master code is 1-2-3-4 when the security system is shipped from the factory. You should change your code after your system is installed. See Code options on page 26.
If you have already changed the default master code, press the numbers in for the correct code and press enter.
Barring a faulty system the correct code and then 'enter' should sub-disarm or disarm.
Resetting Your Installer Code 1. The installer code (IC) is the code that allows you to access the system programming. If you forget your IC, your alarm company probably won't give it to you. This is because they use the same IC for many installed units and keep it a heavy guarded secret. If your forget your IC code, you're going to have to reset it.
First locate and disconnect the transformer. This is a cube-shaped wall outlet, usually placed around the alarm control panel. Next, shut down the alarm system's power supply. You may have to unplug a battery if you have a secondary power source connected to the alarm system. Once the alarm is powered down, you will reconnect the transformer and the battery in that order.
The rest of resetting comes on the keypad. Within 30 seconds of powering up the alarm, go to your alarm key pad press down the * and # keys simultaneously until you see "20" displayed. At the same time, you should see "Installer Code." Enter your new installer code while the "20" is still on the screen. Your installer code will be four digits. The keypad will beep to acknowledge the new installer code. After the keypad beeps, press *99 to exit the program. To check if you have reset the code successfully, enter your new installer code and press 1 (off). The keypad will beep once if you have successfully changed your installer code. If it doesn't beep, repeat the process. Resetting Your Master Code 2. The master code is usually only used by the home owner. Other users codes can also be set up, including manager, babysitter, gardener and housekeeper codes. The home owner will use the master code to set up these other codes. The master code is also the code you will use when you come home and need to deactivate the alarm before it goes off.
To reset your master code, type in your installer code, press 8, press 02 and then punch in your new master code. Press 1 to turn off the programming. Your keypad will beep when you successfully reset your master code. You can now activate and deactivate your alarm system as you please.
You can change the master code only if you have the installer code. If you don't have the installer code, the only way I know of to reset the master code is to reset it to factory defaults. This does mean that you will have to completely re-progam the system. I would document as much stuff as you can from the display before resetting it. If you don't have a copy of the installation manual I am providing a link below. Hope this helps.
Is your Simon 3 new or used? The default Utility Access Code 1 or 2 (i.e. the code you use when you open up the cover) is 654321, 54321, 4321 or 321. The default Master Access Code (i.e. the code you use to arm / disarm without opening the cover) is 123456, 12345, 1234, or 123. The length of the code depends on option 54. Default is 4 digits. If it's a used one that has non-default settings, you can reset memory to factory defaults.
In order to do this, you must have the "installer code". This is not to be confused with your master code which you use to disarm your system. Once you have this code, enter it when prompted, press delete, press sensors, when proper sensor is announced press done to accept, system announces that sensor "x" has been deleted. There is a default "installer code" (1234 or 4321) but many suppliers such as ADT change it to prevent owner tampering.
Ask seller or previous owner the code, or read in the manual how to reset the system to factory defaults On the previous version (Simon3) it was press cancel + clock set + Minutes+ at the same time and the power up from battery
If your problem ain't fixed and the system is not in the trashcan yet, try this: Open panel and enter Utility access code (654321 / 54321 / 4321 / 321), mostly it's 4321, unless someone changed the code. Unplug from powersource and unplug battery.
Now comes the fun part....
Press Cancel + Clock set + Minutes+ at the same time and restore the power with the battery. If it says "Hello, System XX OK" you've reset the panel to factory settings and can set up the whole system from the beginning.
is this a installed system
