Accord xpc burglar alarm?

Hello hope someone can help us with our alarm,we recently moved into this house.The previous owners gave us the code and left the user manual.Today we decided to familiarise ourselves with it,and after a few attempts of trying to change the user code the keypad failed to respond and the tamper and zone 4 are lit up.None of the buttons seem to work and the keypad is sounding a low static sound. There's no mention of this in the manual.Does anybody know what is wrong and can anyone offer any solutions on how we can get it up and running again.

sd.please think before telling people to short two pins on the pc board,one of these days there is going to be a big bang,and a very,very upset user,its better just to tell them to get an engineer in,if you dont know the answer,

Absolute b------ from SD again, thought he had left for good, but obviously not.

1. If you have 'used up the number of tries at entering the code' this and the majority of panels will lock out for a few minutes not allowing any more key presses. Leaving it alone for 5mins then starting again usually gets over that problem.

2. I'd suggest the battery might be at fault here. Unfortunately you don't know the history of the system, the battery might be 6,8,10, 20 years old. Yes I have found them that old. They should be replaced at a Max of 5Yrs.

3. I think I could count on one hand the number of different control panels that can be defaulted to factory settings in the way mentioned by SD.

The Accord xpx, is not one of them.

I'm sorry but I will not give out defaulting information in a Public Q&A Forum

Even if you had the correct infirmation you would then need the Programming Manual, and to understand the terminology and how to complete the programming.

Suggest you get someone in.

SD knows nothing about alarm systems & just pops up here every now and again thinking he's 'the bees knees' of alarm information.

All he does is give incorrect information and no help, because he has no idea.

I would think, that you have used up the number of tries at entering a code. You should have details of reseting to factory settings. Usually involves, disconnecting ALL power. and shorting two pins together on the Pcb. That would restore factory settings, and allow you to program the way you want it.
