ADT Visonic PM-360. Can it be defaulted?

Well yes so long as it's showing in "!!..DIY Installers..!!"

You have to either hold down the plus or minus button down for 15 seconds or so (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.

 

Or is it just me that think's that defaulting info?

Now granted that's probably easily findable elsewhere, but then so is most other defaulting info on a 9651 etc...

I thought it was just how to connect WiFi

Not defaulting info at all. I haven't told anyone how to change the codes and that process will not reset any codes. It's only to connect to the panel so you can actually use the alarm system.

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.

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

Thanks for your reply. I did as you indicate (pressing plus o minus buttons didn't  work, instead I held "reset" for 30 seconds and in order to get the beep + green light). I connected to the panel's wifi network (ID=panel ID; password=serial number). However the Alarm

Install App throws these errors:

• Panel is not responding. Please check your WiFi settings
• Could not complete operation. Connection rejected

I check that the panel ID and S/N are correct. I know they are because my iPhone shows the wifi icon, which means a wifi connection was established.

Seems like the panel has wifi enabled but connection via Alarm Install App disabled.

Any clues on how to recycle this panel?

Hi. Did one the other day, it’s hold both button for about 10-15 seconds. The WiFi light should blink then connect to it like you said. 

 

They are a pain in the backside to be honest. Some times they will connect no problem and others they won’t. They were originally programmed by ADT with a cable to an android tablet so we had no issues. 

 

Have you got to the stage where it’s asking for the code?

Yes! Your instruction of pressing both buttons at the same time was the missing piece. Thank you!

 

Now I'm struggling with the code. I tried a couple that I found on google "visonic pm-360 default installer code" but they didn't work. I'm not sure if it is allowed by this forum, but in case it is, is there any further guidance that you can give me (now my only way is to try all codes from 0000 to 9999). In theory, I have reset the panel to factory defaults by holding the RST button for 30 sec (panel responds with green light and beep)

Holding reset is general reset? Not panel default or codes default

Not sure if holding reset defaults installer code... seems like not. So far trying codes one at a time... 62 in 2 hours… this will take days... assuming it's a 4 digit code, if the code is longer it will be almost impossible
