Resetting/Installing a PC3000

[Mike Scott]

Hello,

I've had recent efforts resolving issues with my PC2550. In the course of
these, I've acquired a PC3000 with 1 keypad. Since my home currently has 12
PIRs/contacts, I'm inclined to go to the trouble of upgrading, just for the
extra 8 zones.

One problem (only one?!? ;-{): This PC3000 has been uninstalled for some
time, and there is no record of the codes. The panel has an EEPROM RESET
jumper, so I'm thinking it could be cleared to factory. Does anyone have a
copy of the Installers Manual they could send me? (Thanks again, js, for
sending me the PC2550 version!!).

If not, is this the correct procedure?
1. disconnect AC and battery
2. install jumper on EEPROM RESET pins
3. connect AC
4. wait 10 seconds, then remove jumper

Once done, is there an indication of success? i.e. Keypad LED
song-and-dance?

-Mike

the only indication will be that the master code will be 1234
and the installer code will be 3000

you should have all the zone open too...

As an additional note, the board only has one removable IC which indicates:
AMI 9452LQW
DSC LTD
PC3000 V7.71
06000348
PHILIPPINES

The only specific printing on the perf board says: PC3000 REV. R5

-again, thanks
