Hi my veritas8c alarm not working. Before battery ligh came up and I couldn't set the alarm, also my code didn't work.
I have changed battery, batter light turned green but 24h light flashing red and I still can't set up my alarm. Basically none of (full, part, prog, reset) buttons works. Any help? Thanks.

4321 and 1234 did NOT work for me (after power fuse went down) to silence alarm -- but after about 10 minutes it finally shut itself off -- i guess they figure if you haven't reacted to all the noise by then, you're dead

Brill forum you have been a great help as my veritas 8c started going off all the time and would not reset I just used the master code to reset the alarm and the allowed me to change it to the old code. Thanks all again. Steve in Leicester.

We have a Veritas 8c that has been un used for years, had a power cut last night that set the alarm off but no code to reset the system.

Any help with the engineers code would be great.

Many Thanks John

Had a veritas 8 compact fitted new june 2006, worked ok till this wkend, when i put code in to leave my house its been making a different tone & not setting alarm, now its been going off for no reason, mains power lights flashing, think control panel battery may be Kaput? or is control panel blown? will not now accept my code or allow me to use master default code to re-set to my own code, have removed control panel battery,pulled fuse, alarm sounded for a few minutes then stopped, any help would be most appreciated Tel:07505802840 many thanks.

THE DEFAULT ENGINEERING CDE ON A VERITAS PANEL IN 1234, AND DEFAULT MASTER CODE IS 4321. YOU CAN SPEAK TO TEXECOM (WWW.TEXE.COM) AND THEY CAN PROVIDE TECH HELP

To change the user code you need the old one
Enter your existing 4 digit code
The Unset light will flash.
Press PROG
All the zone lights will illuminate.
Enter 6 0
All the zone lights will turn off.
Enter your new 4 digit code
Zone lights 1,2, 3 and 4 will illuminate in turn as each digit of the new code is entered.
Press PROG
The system will chime to confirm the new code has been accepted and all the zone lights will illuminate. Press RESET
The system will return to unset and all the zone lights will turn off.

If you dont know the code the system will have to be reprogrammed.
