Title: British Gas / DSC Alarm
Post by scotspark on Apr 2^nd, 2011, 7:13pm

Hi

I have a customer who is having problems with the British Gas branded DSC Alarm in her house. It is the wired version not the wireless.

The battery was knackered and split so I replaced that but now the code wont work. I have tried the usual default codes 0123 - 1234 - 9999 to no avail.

Does anyone have any info or engineers manuals for this system?

any help much appreciated.

Cheers

SS

appears to have the manuals but looks like you have to register.

Google suggests trying 5555 or 5550 or the model number of the panel...

or..

"the way in which to deactivate it and get it to allow you to arm the system is if you type in *84337## and that should allow you to arm the system and use it as normal"

Elsewhere it says if BG have locked out the panel you have to pay around £85 to get them to unlock it or buy new panel.
