DSC PC1565

Anyone know how to get in to a PC1565 panel with installer lock-out ?

Just moved in to a house, with a PC1565 tried defaulting the panel, but it seems it has the lock-out feature enabled and the security company that installed it no longer exist.

I had mixed results with this trick until I removed all the wires from the main board (except the battery, one keypad, and the AC). Is it usually necessary to go this far?

Sorry it's a bad habit I have

If you say so but to me a "trick" is doing something the panel isn't designed to do

Reading the manuals again, are you, Mark?

I merely copied Jim's implied phrasing. Nonetheless I don't believe such a phrase is out of order in this case. The "PGM1 to Z1 Jumper" method is detailed in the manuals, yes, but it can reasonably be described as part of one's "bag of tricks."

All that is required is to remove any wires on PGM1 & Z1 before you try it.

Yes I did try the PGM1 to Z1 method.

And this still does not help my cause.

This panel will not default.

Maybe a large hammer may do the "trick"!

or the boat-anchor trick.
