The previous owners should give you the code it it was mentioned in the house sale. The unit is probably no use without a monitoring contract. You can't probably reset everything by removing the motherboard battery, but it says in the link that the code is in the manual. My initials are 'ADT'.
Contact the previous owner or the sales team that sold the property! This will be an owner set alarm....... We would not be able to help without knowing the make and model of alarm anyway!
Be sure you understand the difference between a master code and the technician code. A master code lets you program other codes (and do some other harmless stuff). The technician code lets you do anything in the panel. If no master code is known you will need to default the panel. Do that by turning off power and disconnecting the battery. Reconnect the battery or plug pack and within 10 seconds enter 971300 on the code pad. That will wipe the eeprom back to factory defaults, and reinstate user 1 as a master code with a value of 1234. Don't even think of doing any of this without an INSTALLER manual. (Not the same thing as the USER manual). Better still, get an alarm tech familiar with DAS or CADDX products to program it for you. Worth every penny. After that you can add/delete users with your own master code using the much simpler User manual. Any code can be set to be a master code (that is you can have more than one master code)
Unfortunately there needs to be a little bit more information. If you look on the security board there should be a white sticker. I need that model number to know how to program the board.
Key in the 4 digit passwrrd and press "A" button, this will delay for a few minutes for you to leave the house, lock the door before activation.
If you are at home and want to arm the alarm immediately, key in your 4 digit password and press H button and the alarm will arm immediately (except certain zone such as IR, since you do not want to trigger this while moving around inside the house).
To disarm just input the 4 digit password. Please see or download the manual attached for programming new password and other functions.
I have recently moved into a new property and it has a paragon plus alarm system fitted. I have tried contacting the previous owners for the alarm code, but to no avail. Does anyone know a way around this problem?
