How to Reboot (Reset) My Alarm System Panel
[row label=”Intro”] [col span=”4″ span__sm=”12″] [ux_image id=”64156″] [/col] [col span=”8″ span__sm=”12″]
Rebooting Your Alarm Panel
Sometimes your alarm will need to be rebooted or reset which is simply powering down the alarm completely then restarting. This should not be confused with “Defaulting The System” which would erase all existing panel configurations of zones, passcodes, essentially wiping the panel clean to factory settings.
When is a reboot necessary:
- Alarm is unresponsive
- You are adding new hardware which always requires a powerdown to safely move wiring
- Communicator has lost contact with the app service such as AlarmNet, Alarm.com
- When instructed by your alarm dealer troubleshooting a system problem remotely
Keep in mind an alarm is just a small dedicated computer system that at times may need to be rebooted due to a power surge or other external influences. While the need to reset your system is rare (many systems run for a decade or more without a reboot) it can come up.
We list below simple reboot instructions for the major alarm panels on the market today.

For hardwired security systems there will be a metal enclosure located somewhere out of sight such as in the basement, closet, garage, but always in a protected space. Alarm panels are low-voltage devices and use plug-in transformers rather than direct 120VAC wiring. The transformer will be close to this panel enclosure and usually screwed to the outlet cover plate so no one unplugs the transformer accidentally disabling the alarm. The system’s backup battery is inside this enclosure and can easily be disconnected which will be needed to reset the Installer Code. All configuration/programming is stored on nonvolatile memory so there is no danger of losing anything when power is lost. Here are the steps:
-
- Unplug the 16.5VAC transformer from the 120VAC unswitched wall outlet. If you can’t seem to locate this transformer you could also carefully remove the wire from Terminal 1 on a Vista panel. Be careful to not short out the transformer by touching the metal enclosure or any other screw terminal.
- Unplug the backup battery located in the metal enclosure. Just slide either the Red or Black wire off of the clip on the battery. There is no need to disconnect both the Black and Red, just one.
- Ensure the system keypad is dark (no power)
- Wait ten seconds then plug the battery back in.
- Plug the transformer back in or reattached the wire to Terminal 1.
- Check system keypad to see that the system is booting back up. It may take a minute or so to return to its normal display.

How To Check If Your Alarm Installer Code Is Valid
[row label=”Intro”] [col span=”4″ span__sm=”12″] [ux_image id=”96714″] [ux_image id=”64156″] [/col] [col span=”8″ span__sm=”12″]
Installer Code
This special code is used to get into the programming section of your alarm system. It allows you to add or delete sensors and zones, change entry/exit delay times, and if using landline for monitoring allows you to change the phone numbers and account number for a central station. In almost all cases having a valid Installer Code will be required when switching alarm dealers.
In some systems such as Honeywell resetting the Installer Code is easy to do without modifying any of the other system configuration programming. But in others there is either no way to reset this important code or the entire system must be factory defaulted (erased) to reset the Installer Code back to its default. We always recommend leaving the system Installer Code at its default value. However many dealers will change the Installer Code to keep customers out of programming but more importantly because it locks you to that dealer for monitoring.
Below you will find instructions for how to test if your Installer Code is valid. If you don’t know what the Installer Code is set to you can start with the default Installer Code for this system which is also shown.
[/col] [/row] [row label=”Warning”] [col span__sm=”12″ padding=”15px 25px 10px 25px” bg_color=”#e46d09″ bg_radius=”29″ color=”light”]NOTE: While Vanguard Security Corporation makes every attempt to provide accurate information, because the end-user is trying these codes remotely and we can’t see what is actually being pressed on the keypad, please use these instructions at your own risk. It is very easy to make an inadvertent change to your panel’s programming if you don’t exit Program Mode properly. Consider contacting the last monitoring dealer or installer to get your panel’s Installer Code.
