Electronic Alarms and Home Security Devices - Force Alarm System

I Have A Force Alarm System And I Want To Change The Code The Battery Was Down For Six Month I Put A New Battery In Now Nothing Is Working Right. The Old Code Dont Work And I Dont Have Any Instructions.to Help Me.

Ummm, "Force Alarm" sounds like it may be a local or regional installer brand name. What brand and model is your hardware?

i have a ademco vista10se, that is the make and model number. it is a regional system. everytime i hit *# buttons it sets the alarm off. i want to change the code and set it with a new code. it didnt have any power for about 6 months or so.

thanks if you can help

You are waiting too long.

To get into program mode:

Unplug transformer, unplug one of the battery wire leads.

Plug in transformer and hit * & # within 20-30 seconds of plugging unit back in.

When you do this, it will then read off the master code one digit at a time.


When you hit * & # when not in programming, that is the panic alarm keys.

More precisely, you will boot up in program mode. Key in #20 to read back the installer code. Exit program mode with with *99.

You will need the installer and programming manuals for this system. Run a websearch using the phrases: "Installer Manual Vista 10se", and "Programming Manual Vista 10se". The instructions for using the installer code to set a new master code is in the system operations section of the installer manual.

You need both manuals, or the instructions make no sense.
