Hunter-Pro Series & Captain 8 Installation Guide
9. Troubleshooting
9.1 Restoring the default codes
Restoring the factory default Master and Installer codes (5555 and 1234, respectively) can
be done only during power up; therefore, the panel must be disconnected from power first.
After powering up, you have only 30 seconds to enter the default code, or you must repeat
the process.
Codes that start with zero cannot be restored this way. Contact your
local dealer in such a case.
The defaulting steps are as follows:
a. Disconnect the panel from AC power.
b. Disconnect the battery, wait 10 seconds and reconnect it.
c. Wait for the LCD keypad to power up and display the message “Clock Not Set”.
d. Press 5555 to enter the User menu.
e. Press 9 and enter a new Master code (4-6 digits).
f. Press [ENTR] to save.
g. Press [END] to the main screen.
h. Press 1234 to enter the Installer menu.
i. Press 9 and enter a new Installer code (4-6 digits).
j. Press [ENTR] to save.
k. Connect to AC power.
l. Set time & date.
