What do I do if don’t have the PowerSeries panel’s Installer Code?
The Installer Code (default 5555) is necessary when setting up an Alarm.com account. If the code is not known to you, and you are unable to find the code, you may be able to Factory Default the PowerSeries panel.
Note: This will reset all codes but it will also remove all paired sensors/devices and should be done as a last resort.
Additionally, it is possible that the panel’s Installer’s Lockout has been enabled. This will prevent the Factory Reset from working.
Installer’s Lockout is indicated by 10 rapid clicks from the phone relay on the main circuit board on power up. If this is enabled, the Installer Code cannot be reset.
To factory default the main control panel perform the following:
- Remove AC power and battery power from the panel
- Remove all wires from the Zone 1 and PGM1 terminals (may wish to label these before removing)
- With a piece of wire short the Zone 1 terminal to the PGM1 terminal
- Apply AC power to the main panel
- Zone light 1 will turn ON when the default is complete (approx. 10-30 seconds)
- Remove AC power from the panel then disconnect the jumper wire.
- Reconnect all original wiring and power up the control panel normally
- Test the default Installer Code (5555).
