• Dsc Adt Default Installer Code

The Ademco Lynx system is an all-in-one wireless alarm system, combining the keypad, circuit board, and sounder in a single housing. The Lynx is quick and easy to install, and is one of the best Ademco alarm systems for a smaller house or apartment. It’s also one of the most popular DIY home security systems available.

ADT's corporate installer code is regarded as a trade secret. While various websites have published the code, the surer way to get into a system is the 'backdoor' method. Webopedia's list of Data File Formats and File Extensions makes it easy to look through thousands of extensions and file formats to find what you need.

You may “inherit” an Ademco Lynx panel when you buy or rent a home. In that case, you’ll want to use your own personal code (also called a 'passcode') to operate the system. If the alarm is monitored and/or serviced by a professional alarm company, they can add the code in for you.

Dsc Adt Default Installer Code

Tip:
If your system is currently monitored by an alarm company, you may want to let them make passcode changes for you. Check with your alarm company representative for specific details and help on programming your system.

If the alarm isn’t under contract with a company, you'll want to program a new passcode yourself.

To do this, you’ll need to know either the installer code or master code to make programming changes.
If you have no working passcode for the system, skip to “Resetting the installer code”.

Ademco Lynx System Code Layout:

• The Lynx has a total of eight passcodes, numbered 01-08. Code 01 is designated as the Installer Code, and is used by the alarm company for system set-up. It can also change the Master Code.
  
• Code 02 is the Master Code, and is used to change both itself and the User Codes 03-08.
  
• The “8” key is also the “Program” function button, and is used to make passcode changes.

• When making passcode changes, don’t wait too long between keystrokes, or the system will time out. If this happens, start the sequence of key presses over from the beginning.

If you already know a passcode for the system, here’s how to figure out which one it is:

Enter (4-digit code) + 8 + 00.

If the Ademco Lynx wireless displays “20”, you have the installer code. To leave it the same, press *99 to exit programming. To change it, press *20, followed by the desired new installer code. Press *99 to exit program mode, then skip down to “Changing the Master Code”.

If the system doesn’t display “20”, you have either the master code or one of the user codes.

Enter (4-digit code) + 8 02 + 1234 + 1234.

If the keypad beeps three times, you have the master code, and it’s just been changed to “1234”. This is the factory default, so you’ll want to change it to something more secure. If the unit doesn’t beep, you have a regular user passcode. Skip to “Resetting the Installer Code”.

To use the master code to change itself, follow this format:

(old master code) + 8 + 02 + (new master code) + (new master code).

Notice that the new passcode must be entered twice for the change to take effect.

As an example, to change the master to '9876', you would enter: 1234 + 8 + 02 + 9876 + 9876. After entering the new code the second time, the unit will sound 3 beeps to confirm the change.

Resetting the Installer Code

1. Remove the Ademco Lynx system from its base by pressing a flat-bladed screwdriver gently into each slot along the top edge of the unit.

2. Unplug the low-voltage transformer, which should be located near the panel.

If you don't know where the transformer is, use a small screwdriver to disconnect the wire from either terminal 15 or 16. If you use this method, be careful not to let the loose wire touch any other terminals! Doing so could short the transformer and ruin it.

3. Disconnect the battery connector from the circuit board. Wait a few seconds, then reconnect it.

4. Plug in the low voltage transformer, or re-connect the loose transformer wire carefully.

5. Within 50 seconds of power-up, press the * and # keys at the same time. The display should show “20”.

6. Press # + 2 + 0. The display will scroll through the current 4-digit installer code. Jot this down. (Note: The display shows single digits with a leading zero, so 01 = 1, 02 = 2, etc.).

7. To change the installer code, press *20, followed by a new 4-digit installer code.

8. Exit programming mode by pressing *99.

Resetting the Master Code

A new master code can be programmed using the installer code, using this format:

(Installer Code) + 8 + 02 + (New 4-digit master code).

Notice that when using the installer to change a master code, you’re not required to enter the new code a second time.

Adding User Codes to the Ademco Lynx System

Use the master code to add users with the format:

(master code) + 8 + (2-digit user number 03-08) + (new 4-digit user code).

After adding any passcodes to the system, test to make sure they work. This can be done by arming and disarming the system using the new passcode. Another way to see if a code is valid is by simply entering the passcode + “Off” (1). If the code is in the system, it will beep once to confirm. If the panel doesn't beep after hitting the code + 1, it doesn’t recognize that code.

Background:
We quit ADT monitoring after our contract was fulfilled, sometimes I use it as a local system but I prefer my own IP cameras and we have a great family guard dog.
Assuming your system was subsidized at sign-up, you should own it when you finish your term contract (eg; 36 months).
Recently, I switched to VoIP and I had my phone line disconnected. On the day it happened, the panel beeped and I got a trouble light, alphanumeric=unable to contact ADT.
In order to disable the warning, I would normally need to do this: *8 5010 015 7 ### for TLM disable, then power cycle the panel.
Problem is, the installer code is not default 5010 or a handful of other possible default codes, it is a local ADT code.
1. I contact my local ADT, they will not release any installer codes. Fair enough, but if it's the same across my neighbourhood, that's poor security should it be leaked. Instead they say they can help me power down the system. I think why? I own it now.
2. I email for a tech to come by and disable the TLM/reset the code. Answer is no, 'unfortunately for liability purposes we cannot have technicians attend the home of inactive ADT customers'.
3. I email again, this time escalated to ADTCanada to pay for the service which would make me a customer by definition. They say no, citing the quotation above. (I previously asked why a sales rep can come in, check security points, etc and 'apparently' they are under a different policy).
4. Last try to contact and resolve, I call and inquire if I had 'active' monitoring, how much would it be? They say probably a couple of hundred negotiated with the installer. Ridiculous, for less than a minute of work.
Now, if I really want to tinker with the system and do it myself, I can physically jumper the main panel in the basement box, but this requires re-programming my whole house and could take a few hours.
The upside is I set my own installer code, and I can get it to call my cell or any number if it goes off, and have it work in conjunction with my cameras.. not for the technically challenged.
My recommendation to you is to figure out if you have a default installer code, or obtain it while still on contract. 6321, 5555, 5010 are common codes for the DSC832.
Because you will NOT be able to easily use the system with another company even though you OWN it. It's how ADT attempts to keep inactive systems tethered to ADT.
And while you're at it, if you still want 3rd party monitoring, check out TMC for better monitoring prices.
This is how you want to do business ADT?
