Hi,I just moved into new house that had working ADT Focus 32 (DSC Power832) system installed on it. I dont plan to subscribe to monitoring andwant to do local monitoring. Currently the display panel shows Troublelight (I believe from previous owners telephone being disconnected). Iknow the passcode for the system.Can you guys please guide me how can I set this system to work locally.If everything is already set up right, how i can i get rid of troublelight because of telephone being disconnected.

In my opinion, it is highly unlikely that ADT would have locked the board, unless perhaps it was installed by one of their sometimes shady dealers. I do untold ADT takeovers, and I have yet to find one locked. You have more than an even chance the board is not unlocked and will reset using the factory default procedure.

However, if it is, simply box it up and send it to one of these agencies. I unlock boards as a matter of course, and turn around time, even on volume, is one day plus shipping time both directions...a week, maybe two depending upon the mail system.

However, as I said before, new boards are inexpensive and come with all the necessary manuals and programming sheets

I've never found an ADT panel locked either.

I did see one - it was locked with a screwdriver stabbed through it's very heart...I couldn't unlock or takeover that one.
