    Hi
    I recently moved house. The house is fitted with a Hkc alarm with eircom phone watch,
    This is currently powered down as I don't have either the alarm code or engineers code,

    How do I go about getting the alarm up and running again? I only want to use it as a stand alone alarm without the phone watch.The house has been empty for approx 4 years before I moved in

    Thank you

    You could try defaulting the system using the following method.

    Turn off the main power to the panel.
    Open the main control panel and disconnect the battery.
    Remove the factory link marked LK 1.
    With that link removed power up the panel and follow the on screen instruction re defaulting.
    If the panel powers up armed it may give a message engineer locked. If so you will need an engineer to reset this system for you.
    I will PM you the manual that will give you some more information on this system.

    If the system is an 6/10 then before powering up remove the digi lead connected from the digi on the back to the front of the board. If there is an issue with the line in the house the control panel when it defaults will remove this from the system.

    Most of the devices on these systems are point id.
    Zone hardware needs to be set up for point id.
    Then the devices need to be IDed in the devices menu.
    Any problems let us know.
