I have a Arrow head house alarm oldone, No pin code.

Could you please help me to reset this to factory default.

There is a way to reset to factory settings, by turning off Ac & battary etc.

It looks like this model is also known as a Crow Power Wave 8 Lite.

You can find an installation manual here that talks through how to do a factory reset if you know the installer code. There's also a user manual available.

There doesn't appear to be a reset jumper on the main board that you can use, unlike some other Arrowhead panels, although the test point to the right of the barcode label might be something like that.

What are you trying to achieve by 'factory resetting'? and given the question, do you know how to then set it up again?

Pretty sure it's not a case of factory reset and everything just works...

We do not have pin code, with out PIN canot do anything. If reset I can use default code or set up a new PIN.

You'll also need to setup all the zones, configure all the PIRs, what volatages are used for each zone, i.e. are their resistors in any PIR to pull up and down voltages.

I'm fairly sure it's not a case of factory reset and put in a new alarm code and away you go..

Would one of the old IP-Modules be a better path? https://www.aap.co.nz/shop/Alarm+Systems/Modules/IP-MODULE.html

I was able to use this module, and then see the Installer Code and then do as I wanted...

Does it say what zone is activated on the panel?

Will help you narrow it down to which PIR is probably faulty, but yeah, it's not going to be a super easy DIY fix at a guess.

Maybe disconnect the siren so you can see what is happening and what messages are on the alarm panel (if it has an LCD or lights)
