I have asked a question in
Is the "trouble" light on?
If so.. Press *2 and see if one of the zone LED's light up
ZONE LIGHT TROUBLE
1..............Defective Stand-by Battery 2..............AC Power Failure (see Note below) 3..............Foil Circuit Trouble 4..............Telephone Line Problem 5..............Unsuccessful Communication Attempt 6..............Bell Circuit Failure 7..............Smoke Detector Circuit Trouble 8..............Loss of Time on System ClockHit # to return
BTW..
On the other NG you said the panel was completely powered down so the clock needs resetting.
[* 6] [ Master Code] [1] [4 digits(Military Time)]
in
Does the master code get erased after power down?
It is a DSC System, anything is possible....
No, not supposed to. Default is 1234.
No
I plugged the alarm system into the wall first, then the battery that has been charged overnight. However, every light except #5, Trouble, and Fire are on. The alarm starts ringing (first happened when a door was opened as the alarm system wasn't set. The alarm system doesn't respond to any key I pressed.
When I saw the names Morgan & Stanley, I thought this thread was about financial advice. But since its really about "toast" I'll have jelly on mine.
When you first power up any of the "legacy" DSC products, the panel usually "blips" the siren for a second. This is normal. Apply AC to first (plug in your wall wart) and then hook up the battery (observe correct polarity). If you need additional help, please feel free to email me at feolson at yoursecuritysource dot com. If the system was powered down in the armed state, it will power up in the same way. If your keypad's not responding, then disconnect one of the siren/bell wires. You may be drawing too much current from the power supply with the siren running. You can then disarm the system normally.

I have disconnected one of the bell wires. However, I'm still encountering a problem where all the lights are flashing other than #5, Memory, Program, Trouble. The keypad still isn't responsive to any key presses after the siren has been removed from the connection.
Penis butter and vagina jelly?
I know... sorry.
No.............but a snatchburger would hit the spot right about now.

Check to make sure all the connections to the keypad are intact. Also check the connections to the keypad at the common control.

The wires from the keypad are connected and intact on the panel board circuit board.

It's a panel from the late 80's and is now almost 20 years old, take the hint and replace it

Don't wait too long. If rigor mortis sets in it will be hard getting the board out of the can.

OK.. The next step involves some technical skill. There are several glass fuses (very small on the "newer version" 2500 boards but a more standard "AGC" size on the older ones). Power down the system and meter the fuses. Replace any that show "open". I'm guessing your aux power supply fuse is blown.
