Wireless Alarm System: Resetting

In this video, Michael from Alarm Grid shows you how to reset a wireless alarm system. The term "resetting" can mean a power cycle reset, in which the system is powered off and then back on, or a factory default reset, in which the system is restored to its factory default settings. With a wireless alarm system, there is usually a menu option that you can use to perform a power cycle reset or a factory reset. This process will vary between different security systems, so it may be helpful to review the manual for the alarm system that you are using.

There are many reasons why you might power cycle reset your alarm system. This may also be referred to as a system reboot. One reason to power cycle your system is for general troubleshooting. Just like your phone or computer, turning your system off and then back on may fix your system if it is not responding properly. Another reason to reboot your system is to make hardware changes. You should always power your system down before making hardware changes. Then you can power it back on after the hardware has been installed. Some examples of hardware changes for a wireless system could include installing a new communicator or connecting a wired NC contact sensor or a siren to the on-board terminals.

The other type of reset is a factory reset. This will restore all of the system settings to their factory default values. This is a more extreme type of reset, and you will need to reprogram your system from scratch after you perform a factory reset. This will include reprogramming all system zones, and you will also need to re-add any user codes and reconfigure the Master Code away from the default. A user will usually only factory default their system as last resort troubleshooting step if all else fails, or if they plan on selling the system or giving it away to someone else for use in a new location.
