how you do hardwire reset

1 comments:
Mr. Anderson
February 10, 2025

To perform a hardwire reset on a DSC PC3000:

1. Identify all zones and their types before resetting, as the system will need to be reprogrammed.
2. Check if the system requires end-of-line resistors by physically inspecting a switch for a resistor.
3. Locate the EEPROM RESET terminals on the board.
4. Power down the system by disconnecting both AC power and the battery.
5. Place a jumper across the EEPROM RESET terminals.
6. Power up the system while keeping the jumper in place for about 10 seconds.
7. Remove the jumper and allow the system to boot up.

This should reset the installer code (3000) and restore access. However, if the system was locked out, this reset may not work.
