Wired Alarm System: Power Cycling

In this video, Michael from Alarm Grid shows you how to power cycle a wired security system. Unlike a wireless alarm system, a hardwired alarm system will not usually have a menu option for performing a power cycle reset. Instead, you can only complete a power cycle through the traditional method of first powering down the system by cutting all power, and then restoring power. AC power should be restored first on a wired panel, followed by battery power second.

One reason why you may perform a power cycle, or a system reboot, is as a general troubleshooting step. If you find that your system is not operating properly, then you might turn it off and then back on to see if that fixes the problem. This no different than what you might do to fix a smartphone or a computer that isn't operating properly. Another reason to perform a power cycle is when you are making hardware changes.
