I have a DSC PC3000 that I got from a customer. It has the dealer lockout
set. I was wanting to know if I can get around that without sending it back
to DSC to be reset.

Any information helps....

Thanks!

Matthew

If anyone knows Jim does.
I don't know of any way. From the manual,
Hardware Reset of EEPROM Memory to Factory Defaults:
If the Installer's Code is lost through inadvertent
programming, the only means of reprogramming the system
is via a hardware reset. If the Installer's Lockout is enabled,
there is no way to reprogram the system without entering the
correct Installer's Code.
Why would you want to keep a PC3000 anyway?
If I hadn't tossed them all I'd send you some.

Version 7.71

I am moving and want to put on the the garage... Since it works, I always
think of... "Its its not broke, Dont fix it".

If it is possible I would like to use it since I have 2 keypads and a
working control. But again.. I always like having a spare panel just in
case one that I have out blows....... If I have a spare, I usually just
charge the customer the fee to come out and replace it....

There is absolutely nothing wrong with the DSC PC 3000. It works well
and has in my experience no bugs in that chip version. I have more than
a dozen spare boards that I keep in stock to service my existing
customer base, but most have been eaten up by other small dealer
friends who need them as well. The board is no longer made by DSC so
they have actually increased in value as they decrease in availability.


DSC will not unlock any boards. To my knowledge, they never have at any
time in the past. 'when you think about it, why would they do something
to defeat a feature they put into their boards originally. As well, why
do something that decreases the number of boards they sell.

Send it off to Jim Rojas in Florida if you are in the US, or myself in
Eastern Canada (east of the Manitoba border), or Action Jackson at
www.unlockservices.com for anything west of that same border.

Howeverm If you do bite the bullet and replace it with a modern alarm
panel, you WILL end up with a more modern panel that definately can
communicate much more quickly to the Central Station.

Hmmh....well, that's something I definately didn't know. I do know that
DSC developed a cheap and dirty device to allow the guys at Tried to
power up any board quickly and safely in order to listen for the tell
tale chirps that a locked board gives off. It seems some less than
honest dealers were trying to turn in locked boards as defective ones,
to get another unlocked one under warranty.

But no, I didn't know that DSC ever unlocked boards for anyone. I know
they used to charge back $25 to the dealer if a defective board was
returned in a locked state. But to actually unlock boards on
demand....that's news to me !

At one time I thought there was a way to unlock the panels by installing a
jumper wire some place.. Its been a few years since I messed with that at
all.. but I dont like to throw anything away that still works!

I haven't heard of any device DSC made to find that, seems pretty simple to
power up the board and listen for the clicks, One thing I found out when I
was unlocking boards was a lot were turned into our office that weren't
locked out, the tech for some reason just thought they were

It could have been our company which was a huge user of 1550/2530/3000
boards. Manufacturers tend to bend over backwards for high volume dealers

RHC: Could be it was just something they made up for the local Tried
boys here in Ottawa. It's a simple rig to power up with AC without any
risk of (I guess) hurting themselves ??? Anyway, it serves to sort out
the really defective boards from the locked ones...

One thing I found out when I
was unlocking boards was a lot were turned into our office that weren't
locked out, the tech for some reason just thought they were

RHC: Yup ! I find that too within bulk orders. I find quite a few
boards that are not locked at all, and a few that have been defaulted
properly, but the installer didn't know that 1555 and 5555 are both
valid codes for the Power 632, depending upon version. Or that 737373
and 282828 are both valid codes for the Paradox Esprit, again depending
upon versions. So he figures they are still locked when they don't
respond. I have been sorely tempted to charge them anyway for their
stupidity, and the work to set my equipment up, but I've resisted the
urge so far....

It could have been our company which was a huge user of 1550/2530/3000

RHC: Yeah, I guess that could be it. I really don't think they ever did
it for the general market.

It wasn't just yours. Our local Tried office took locked "Classic"

That's not the point, Roland. Olson has been lying for years, claiming he does all sorts of installations. He's not even an
installer. There are three major distributors in Burnaby. Olson says he's been installing there for years yet none of them

He also told us he snap-rolled a brand new 737 (something which is physically impossible) after borrowing it from Boeing (something
Boeing has never done) to test his theory about how another airplane crashed. In that ridiculous story, Olson originally claimed
that the plan was to deploy reverse thrusters at altitude. He backed off on that one when I informed hiom there's an interlock
which prevents the thrusters from engaging unless there's weight on the mains (ie, the plane is on the ground).

Olson has repeatedly lied about me, about my business, about phone conversations he says we had, etc. He has also spent *most* of
his online substitute for a life attacking me in this and other newsgroups. I feel it is my responsibility to make certain others
here aren't taken in by his bullfrank.

You're losing it, Robbie. Can't even finish your sentences. Let me
explain (once again) for your benefit (since you're quite obviously an

Nope. I never said that. I've never snap rolled anything other than a
Citabria, a C-150 Aerobat, and a Pitts Special.

Never said that either. Geeze you're a LIAR, aintcha?

Nope. Never did that either. And you can override the reversers *in
flight*. What I said was that we couldn't deploy them in flight because
of the risk of structural damage. We elected to "simulate" the reverser
depolying by applying a generous amount of left rudder instead.

In your dreams, perhaps. You're not a pilot either.

One of the tough things about making up a story is you've forgotten what you originally said.

Nope. It cannot be done. There's a reason for that, too. Deploying reverse thrusters in flight would stain the terrain.

>> What I said was that we couldn't deploy them in flight because of the risk of structural damage.

Structural damage? That's a nice way to describe crashing into the earth. You said that *after* I pointed out that you couldn't do
it.

>> We elected to "simulate" the reverser depolying by applying a generous amount
>> of left rudder instead.

Hahahahaha. "Simulate reverse thrust", right. You're a complete idiot, Olson. No one but Leuck is stupid enough to believe that
one.

BTW, the 737 had a known defect in that era. Sudden application of too much rudder caused the linkage to break. Two separate fatal
crashes were the result. Hundreds of people died.

The best part of Olson's lie is the claim that Boeing lent him and his two idiot pals a brand new 737 before delivering it to an
airline. Supposedly Boeing just went along so he could test his theory of why an airliner crashed. The crash in question occurred
when a 737-200 tried to take off again after landing and deploying reverse thrusters. There was a snow plow on the runway and when
the pilot saw it he tried to make it back aloft. The airplane flipped over and smacked into the terrain immediately, exactly what
would have happened if anyone deployed RT aloft.

Because of the possibility of accidental deployment of RT in flight, Boeing wisely interlocked the mechanism with the main landing
gear. When a 737 lands it puts many tons of weight on the mains, compressing what amounts to some huge shock absorbers (for lack of
a better description). This also engages the mechanism which allows the reverse thrusters to be deployed. There is no way to over
ride it in flight because doing so would cause immediate loss of control. Once deployed, the RTs cannot be stowed until the
airplane slows to a near stop.

BTW, reverse thrusters are what cause that strong braking sensation a fcouple of seconds after the nose gear touches down. Some
folks think the engines are actually reversing but it's much simpler than that. Reverse thrusters are large deflectors which come
out from the rear sides of each engine, move into the path of the exhaust and deflect it forward. Once deployed the pilot guns the
engines for a few seconds to creat enough reverse thrust to slow the airplane down, saving on brake and tires wear and allowing the
airplane to use shorter runways.

>>> about phone conversations he says we had, etc.
>>
>> I've only ever had *one* telephone conversation with you.

And you have repeatedly lied about what was said.

Nope. I never said *I* borrowed a 737 from Boeing. I was new to the
business (of crash investigation), and worked as an insurance adjuster.
Not even the company I worked for had that kind of power. I used the
collective "we", and "us" when describing this particular event. You
have always taken that to mean "me". You're an idiot. Boeing was just
as interested in finding out what would happen if a reverser deployed in
flight. So was the NTSB (US) and Transport Canada. My company didn't
have anything to do with arranging the demonstration. I just went along
for the ride.

Heh. You know a hell of a lot about what can and can't be done. There
are several ways in which to override the reversers. Boeing ruled out
deploying them because they didn't want to risk damaging the aircraft.
You forget. This was a test flight.

Nope. That's not the way it went down. I gave you a detailed account
of what we did right from the start. You (with your detailed knowledge
of all things aviation) decided that it couldn't be done. It bugs you
that you can't track me down and harass my "employer", or the people I
do business with so you resort to posting nonsense about how you've
"talked" to several aviation "experts" to discredit me. I've been a
major thorn in your side for years. I must admit that it's been a
pleasure to circumvent your efforts at usurping this Group for your own
purposes. Your and asshole, Bass. The biggest liar in USENET.

It's interesting how you're not even responding to me. This is typical
of your "cut and run" tactics. You're a coward, Bass, and have LOST
every aeronautical related debate because you're such a pompous
"know-it-all" pilot-wannabe. Remember how you insisted the Cessna 152
was a tail dragger? Remember how you then "switched" your story to say
it was a Cessna 150? Remember how you then insisted that all you had to
do was "reverse" the main landing gear (rake it forward) to make the
aircraft "squat" on it's tail when I finally put you out of your misery
by finding a picture of a C-152 tail dragger *conversion*? You're
*still* an idiot, Bass. The entire main gear assembly has to be moved
*forward* to the main strut attachment hard point so the aircraft will
"sit on it's tail". Ever pushed down on the horizontal stab of a Cessna
150/152? It takes quite a bit of effort to raise the nose wheel off the
ground so you can pivot the aircraft. How would "raking the gear
forward six or twelve inches" make it squat on it's tail?


>

You're an idiot, Bass. The linkages didn't "break". In fact the
linkages remained intact all the way into the ground. And the failure
of the rudder servo didn't have anything to do with application of full
right or left rudder. There are limiters that don't allow you to do
this. They limit the amount of rudder travel in various flight
regimens. Failure of the servo was precipitated by other circumstances
that had nothing to do with application of rudder.

Now its "two idiot pals". What a moron.

Boeing didn't just "go along". Their engineers were intimately involved.

And the thing we've always said was that if they had enough "air"
underneath them, they would have been able to recover the aircraft.

We're "good" until this point.

There you're wrong. There are reverser override switches located on the
overhead console. What happened in this accident was really quite
simple. It's a classic case of a pilot landing on a runway and trying
to avoid a collision with a large object. If you have enough speed,
it's much easier to get airborne than trying to stop. Every pilot is
taught this simple basic fact (and it's easily demonstrable to any
*student* pilot by any qualified flight instructor). Unfortunately this
basic principle doesn't apply to the Boeing 737 once you've engaged
reverse thrust. When the pilot pulls up on the reversers, he's
committed himself to land (according to Boeing's flight manual).
Instinct, however is a far more powerful force than mere words in a
book. The pilot saw the yellow light of the plow ahead of him (we
figure he didn't actually "see" the plow because of the blowing snow and
limited visibility), realized that there was "something big" on the
runway ahead, and elected to "go around". He pushed the reverse levers
down and advanced the thrust levers to full power. He did this so
quickly that he engaged a series of micro switches that turned off the
hydraulics to the reversers before they were fully stowed. The aircraft
became airborne. It was actually hanging on a stall (a condition in
which the flow of air over the wing is no longer "laminar" and lift
becomes compromised). The aircraft was further hindered by the fact
that full flap was still deployed as well as the landing gear, so it was
extremely "dirty" aerodynamically, slow, and difficult to handle. The
co-pilot realized there was a problem with the reversers because there
were two "reverser unlock" lights illuminated on the instrument panel in
front of him. The pilot also stated that he couldn't keep the thrust
levers at full power, that they were trying to come back to "flight
idle" because of the fact that the reversers are actually interconnected
to the throttle assembly and were slowly being pushed back to "open" as
the speed of the aircraft increased. The co-pilot undid his seat
harness and rolled his seat back so he could engage the reverser
override switches located above his head. He had actually broken the
cover on the left switch when that reverser slammed "open", breaking the
pilot's thumb as that lever sprang suddenly back to the idle detent.
The aircraft rolled to the left and the rest is history. Several people
actually managed to survive the crash. I interviewed one of the
stewardesses (Gail Bunn).

That's not quite the way reversers work, but you're close. The pilot
places the thrust levers into the idle detent, then reaches around to
pull a second set of levers "up". This action deploys the reversers.
He then continues to pull up on the second set of levers which spools up
the engines (not to "full power" though). Reverse thrust is canceled
*before* the aircraft comes to a complete stop (usually at about 40 - 50
knots) because at slower forward speeds you risk the reversers kicking
debris on the runway "forward" where the engines might ingest it. Bass
of course, will continue to cling to his idiotic assertion that I know
nothing about flying the 737 even though I have 150 hours on Boeing's
and Pacific Western's simulator (Pacific Western Airlines was the
operator of the jet that crashed at Cranbrook. They bought out CP Air
which eventually merged with Air Canada).

I'd take all that with a grain of salt. If ADI wanted to get rid of Bass or
anyone selling like Bass they could turn off his account in an instant and
let the lawyers hash it all out. ADI has more lawyers and more expensive
ones I bet. Guess who'd win?
I know of guys running various rep firms losing some lines they rep just for
telling the wrong joke around the big wigs at the companies of products they
rep. Everyone knows about the letters Bosch sent out kicking folks off the
tit. It is not hard to do. So if everyone of these manufacturers and supply
houses has a story about Bass, it might be more for the listener's benefit
and less a reflection of the real conditions of the business relationship
Bass has with them. If Bass is moving any decent volume of their stuff, and
they haven't seen fit to boot him by now, I doubt they ever will. If you
sell enough of their gear, they will invite you to a black tie ball and let
you attend in a g-string if you like, and still bill you as the guest of
honor. In fact if ADI were to start booting folks using the 80% versus 20%
rule, guys like Bass probably wouldn't be hurt, but it might end up being
that Bass' store was the only way to get parts for some folks here.

>> You ought to hear what Tech support at Napco has to say about him.
I have told countless horror stories about various dealer's or integrators
work to different manufacturers. To date none has ever bothered to take any
action against any dealer that has any real volume with them. That is just
the way it is here in this industry, and everywhere else I suspect. Money
talks and BS walks. Some of you guys like to point the finger at Bass, but
if Bass had a really evil twin the folks at GE, Honeywell, etc. could give
him lessons in vermin business behavior that would make him puke.
Although it's unlikely, Bass may be improving and getting away from his role
as group gadfly. At least for some reason he didn't get around to posting
this yet:
Former Congressman Ciro Rodriguez defeated seven-term Republican Henry
Bonilla in a runoff election Tuesday, adding another Democrat to Congress.
So I'll post it for him just to steal his thunder. What can it matter now
since Bass' politics are all wet anyway in my opinion.
My take is that at this point Congress needs another Democrat like a randy
stray dog needs another blood sucking flea, or Clinton needs another young
female aid. Wait, maybe that's saying the same thing twice.

You are right in your assumptions. It isn't the people making those bottom
line decisions that are the ones that necessarily wish he would go away. It
is the ones that have to deal with him that have their own opinions. We all
know that we don't always like the people we have to deal with. However,
with that being said, it is the ones making the decisions on their bottom
line that have put some restrictions on him, which mostly have to do with
warranty issues. Again, to be fair, if he got that straightened out, great.
From what I know, at the time of that discussion, he was doing a good bit of
business with them (I am sure he will appreciate that I keep the dollar
figure to myself) but he went to other distributors for some reason. I am
sure he has his reasons. Was it to regain something lost?

You're missing the obvious. He's lying. There was nothing at EH Expo. I buy more from ADI than Mugford and ten like him. Do you
think they give a rat's olson what he thinks? They bend over backward to take care of my account. The same is true of most of the
others. I say most because I don't buy enough GE stuff to keep an open account with them. They're more interested in the ADT's of
this world. That's fine with me. I get better prices on their stuff from a 3rd party distributor than I could get buying direct.

I also supply a few small dealers and every once in a while (like today, for example) I actually get orders from a small
distributor. I buy certain CCTV lines in enough quantity that my cost is now lower than some distributors are paying.

For a few small dealers it is. One guy in Tennessee losthis account with ADI due to business problems. He orders a few
Ademco/Honeywell panels from me two or three times a month.

I'll give you a clue as to what Napco says about me. They wrote a story about one of my customized Napco installations for an
Orthodox synagogue in their newsletter a few years ago. The story was titled, "Friday the Rabbi Slept Late". In another issue they
wrote about a custom job I did for a blind couple.

I've been a Napco dealer longer than most of these jackasses have been in the trade.

What "story" are you talking about now? And why do you continue to
respond to anyone but me? You're a coward, Bass. You know damn well
that you lose every discussion we have because you can't prove anything
I've said is either false, a lie, or misleading.

"The pilot guns the engines for a few seconds..." Another "classical
Bassism". I could say that you've really got a "thing" for "guns", but
I won't. I do wonder if you found this in the same aviation manual that
spells "aileron", "aeleron"? You can't "gun" a gas turbine like you can
your car's engine. They just don't work (or respond) the same way.
You've never flown a turbine aircraft so you wouldn't know. Why not ask
your "pilot friends" to explain "reverse thrust"?

Get with it Robert, Mugford wasn't even involved in this thread. Obviously
he has gotten into your head. Try to concentrate on what you are saying, it
will help you keep your stories straight.

They bend over backward to take care of my account.

No, I think they simply got tired of being bent over backwards with your

Really...

I say most because I don't buy enough GE stuff to keep an open account with

To keep or get an open account with them?

You're a third party distributor, so what you are saying is that you are
buying from a competitor for less money.....hmmm..

That is either BS or that distributor is a complete fool. Tell us how
warrantys work when buying from resellers like yourself Robert, unless your
dependant on the manufacturer not knowing the product was resold and then
resold again. Do you offer full disclosure about the manufacturers warranty
when you sell parts to your customers Robert?

Supporting the deadbeats are you? If he handled his account in a way to
loose it, how does he handle the rest of his business? But again there are
parts sellers and there are those that are in the security business. Parts
sellers don't care who they sell to. How many unlicensed contractors do you
sell to Robert? Since you are so anti-regulation, you probably never
considered inquiring about licensing when selling to someone that is
obviously buying more than a DIYer would buy, have you?
