I moved into a home with an existing ADT Safewatch Pro 3000EN system. I do not have the master code from when the system was previously activated and do not want to have the system monitored. I have read other postings and managed to access the programming mode using the installers code. With online information I also was successful in clearing the monitoring programming features, however I have had no success reprogramming the master code. The programming guide appears to cover everything but the information I am looking for.
The Powermax system of home security is a wireless-based environment that allows homeowners to view and control their home systems from anywhere via a web-based browser or a. There's a way to reset by powering down, installing a jumper, then powering up. That will erase all the programming though, so you probably don't want to do that, but that is the way in if you're locked out. The default master installer code for that panel is 9999, and the default regular installer code is 8888. I'm sure ADT changes them though.
I have tried using variations of the 8 + 01 + new code and 8 + 02 + new code method without success. I am no expert but apparently the default installer code from the factory for my system is 6321. It may be different for other models. If you enter 6321+800 on my system then the program screen appears and you are in programming mode. Entering.99 then brings you back to the normal system mode. You can try this but if it does not work then you should check this site for specific information to your model. It is also possible that the installers code has been changed from the default.
I remember seeing another posting on a different thread that gave instructions on resetting the installers code by disconnecting power and then following a list of steps to reset the system. Thanks for the info.
I'll take a closer look at the unit tonight to verify the model, then try some of the things in that link. Basically, I'm looking to use the system, but not have it monitored. Right now, it'll beep twice when any of the doors in the house are opened, which I enabled yesterday (after reading the owner's manual). My concern is that once we get our phone line hooked up it'll start communicating with ADT. Is it true that if I simply disconnect the phone line, I won't have to worry about it? The previous owners didn't leave us any codes nor have I found anything written down yet, so hopefully those steps on resetting the default codes will work.
