Welcome to the forum. This is a common situation; unfortunately, there aren't a lot of options.

Hi Jen, Congratulations on your (fairly) new arrival! Defaulting the PC3000 is pretty simple. There are two things to keep in mind, though.

First, it is possible that the original installer 'locked' the system, in which case a hardware default will not work.

Hi Ken, It is great to read helpful posts from you as I was in PGH years ago.

Pittsburgh is a great city. I have a similar situation. The alarm system left by previous owner has not been armed for several years. I use it pretty much to monitor–such as hearing it announce “drive way motion” and to manage lights in conjunction with home automation system. Two days ago it was armed accidentally. I had to shut it off by unplug the transformer.

After reading your post I tried to reset the password to shut it off. I felt lucky when I saw the installer’s code written in the DSC PC3000 v 7.7 installation manual left as old file. I tried a(no *on apex panel) 8 xxxx(installer’s code) 25 ====(new master code) hh (no #on panel). The system can not be shut off either by the installer’s code or the new master code I tried to rest (likely unsuccessful) What should I do? Hello: I have a DSC PC3000 system.

For few years I was getting it monitored, but have not done so in several years now. Due to low battery condition, I recently changed battery (have done so few times in 27 years since this alarm was installed). After this latest battery change, when I arm the system, after 5 minutes or so, it starts beeping (failure to communicate error). After I clear the error and arm it again, same process and same results. Looks like the system is trying to connect to a monitoring service that I don’t have.

No other changes have been made to system except change battery. While searching internet, I found a post that showed a process to disable the dialer to use the instructions as follows: Go to program: * 8 [installer code] (the default is 3000) enter 18 press 1 to turn on option 1 (disable the dialer) press # enter 19 press 7 to turn on option 7 (disable phone line monitor) press # until you exit programming mode I did that, but that did not work either. I still get the same problem.

Does anyone out there have any ideas or suggestions, please!! Thank you Zahid.
