Programming of Ademco 10se with standard keypad for ADT.

This videos a culmination of days of internet research. These are step by step directions on how I programmed my Ademco Vista 10SE alarm with on the numeric keypad. There was a lot of incompatible or simply wrong information that I was able to parse and include for you here.
This article assumes you know how to get into programming mode by hitting: 4-1-1-1-8-0-0. The other way to go into programming mode is to unplug the battery and then unplug the power from the wall wait 5 sec then plug back in and hit the *+# buttons simultaneously in under 50 seconds of powering alarm back up. Next type #20 so see what your actual 4 digit programming code actually is.
Here is a link to the PDF with codes I used for ADT. www.dropbox.com/s/9jafuhprtvt...

I know this is an old video but I spent two hours in the manual and could not figure out how to get out of zone programming mode. Once I figured out my First Alert FA145C and this unit were the same, a quick search lead me here. The 00 instruction in this video was key! Thanks for taking the time to record.

Thank you I was looking for this. You saved a lot of my time.

Spent a good hour or so trying to figure out why my install manual wasn't matching my keypad :) Now have zones set on my alarms many thanks

“Ok you Ademco kids” that is me 😂😂😂

Hi Mike I liked your video. I have the Ademco Via 16 panel and keypad. When I come into the house to shut off the alarm after my code I have to press #1. That is my HOME button. When I exit the home I enter my code and the #2, that is is the AWAY button. My question is the #1 button is wearing out from usage, do you know a way to change the enter button from #1 to a different one?

Hey Mike, great video, thanks. I moved into a house with this system. It has a user code I can’t get rid of, even though I was able to get a new installer code in by resetting it. Any advice or help? Really frustrated....

[@workjohnout]

Thanks for the video...were all these zones hard wired? Have you been able to program any wireless zones? Thanks again

[@mikemaan24]

I didn't do the install, but everything in my house is hard wired.

[@workjohnout]

thanks

Programming a Vista 10SE is a bit different than the newer Vista 15p and 20p. I have both a Vista 10SE and a Vista 20PSIA and there are some differences in the programming

[@MabelVelazquezP]

Hello Michael, hope you see this message, does the system works with wireless? i have the keypad ,the alarm and everything but not the sensors, what type of sensors should i buy and where? i look at amazon but dont know witch i should buy. thank you

[@laurentgeagea3230]

Yes you can add wireless receiver to it with motion wireless sensor

Hi, My daughter bought a house with a system looking like this from 1997. Do you know how she can input a new code so she can use it? The person she bought the house from does not know the current code because it was a rental property.

[@rxgtv]

can you use these older keypads on a vista 128?

[@mrmaddocs68752]

@@rxgtv Yes

[@BrantHahn]

Mike - I've got the same system... we don't pay for a service, but it used to 'ding' when a door was open or closed... now it doesn't do that. Is there a way to turn this back on? I can't seem to find anything in the manual. Thanks

[@mikemaan24]

Simply type in your 4 digit code and then hit "9"

[@BrantHahn]

thanks.. that worked!

[@josephszpek5740]

Just what I needed took a wail but found this thanks so much.......

[@mrmaddocs68752]

Do this: Master Code + 9

I have a condo that I Live in my roommate let her sister and her boyfriend stay in my house and now my front door chime isn't working how can I fix it

[@mikemaan24]

[@USMC_BABE38]

mike maan that was an great video it really helps thanks

[@nationsnumber1chump]

dear god who would design an alarm system so freakin confusing for the user

[@GIJew]

These systems were installed in the 90s mostly by professional companies like ADT. The fixed display keypads like these were much cheaper at the time than the ones with full text. The installer would have one master full-text keypad that they use to program everyone’s alarms with to make it easier for them, but they would remove it when they were done and leave you with one of these fixed text keypad since they’re functionally the same for the end user but much cheaper. They weren’t really designed to be reprogrammed by the user, you’d have the dealer come out to do the programming with their keypad that they’d attach temporarily.

[@thatonecanadian.7102]

That panel does not sound good at all than the ones I’ve seen. Was that power supply issue or just the piezo is crazy old

[@mrmaddocs68752]

The piezo on that keypad always glitches out

[@koreanfan101]

I have a FC code problem. Please help, I have the same system

[@Pvzfan554]

That means fail connection the dialer phone number that was programmed is now no longer good

[@koreanfan101]

Exit Sign Guru Oh. Can you guide me on how to fix it? It would be much appreciated!

[@Pvzfan554]

Well sorry but I don’t know how to mine doesn’t beeb

[@Thunderbolt1003]

RegNKey here’s a better version: basically what happened is the dialer (device that calls emergency services) has failed to connect with the panel meaning it will not notify emergency service during an alarm condition. I would suggest contacting your monitoring company (like ADT or Brinks) to see if they can send someone out to fix it

[@mrmaddocs68752]

Clear the current phone number
