ADT Visonic PM-360. Can it be defaulted?

Hi folks.

 

I acquired a second hand Visonic kit (panel + sensors) from a guy who used to have an ADT subscription. He terminated his contract with ADT and they left him the alarm. I purchased it assuming it would be simple to "reset" the panel and fit it to my needs. I sadly found it isn't. Although I can do a reset (green light = success?), I cannot log into the panel, either via USB port or AlarmInstall app. As far as I was told later, ADT visonic panels are locked and can only be accessed by ADT remotely.

Understanding the forum policies of not publishing defaulting info in public forums, I would just to know if it possible (not how) to default (reset) this panel to use without paying ADT a fee, or it's simply impossible.

 

Thanks.

From what I came across none were locked unless it's new procedure from them 

 

 

 

But defaulting is possible

Sorry if this sounds silly, but what’s the difference between unlocking and defaulting?

Defaulting - restoring to factory settings and codes

 

Unlocking - so defaulting can be achieved , if locked you have mess around to unlock on many panels and some never will 

 

Mostly the defaulting procedure is done incorrectly lol

Understood. Thanks for the clarification. 

 

I believe I can default the panel as I run the “restore to factory setting procedure” (please no defaulting info REMOVED ) and the panel emits a green light and success tone. My problem however is that I cannot interface with the panel. This model (PM-360) has no keyboard and it only can be programmed by connecting to it. I tried:

 - USB (regular USB cable): Windows does not  detect any device

 - WiFi (virtual keyboard via AlarmInstall app - local option): connection rejected

 

Any ideas on how to connect to the panel?

 

Regards

Hi I'm an ADT installer. Some of these panels can be a bit of a pain and don't work if they are the older version.

 

You have to either REMOVED(I can't remember which from the top of my head)  and then it should beep or flash a light.

 

You have to then search and connect to the panels wifi in your phone settings. The wifi SSID is usually the panels ID number. The password for the wifi is the panels serial number.

 

Haven't played with one for a while but hopefully you'll have some luck!
