The manual to my security system says Concord Express but I believe they were acquired some time by GE. I was never given the master code by the previous owner. I called her today and she doesn't know it. Can anyone recommend a good, local alarm company that might know how to find the code? I looked up a list of possible codes but I haven't tried them yet. I made the mistake of testing my carbon monoxide detector without knowing the central alarm code. Things eventually got quiet in about 15 minutes but my spouse wasn't too happy.
There is now a code on the alarm system that I can't clear. At least it stopped beeping! Alarm Man seems to come up in recommendations in this forum regularly.
(I have no personal knowledge of them.) Here's my over the phone experience with Alarm Man. I've done enough research to know that doing a 'reset' or power off does not work with my system like it does with others. The woman I spoke with was nice and said it would be $95 to reset the system. She told me they wouldn't charge if they couldn't reset it. But she never talked about replacing any system boards which my research says might be necessary. I have an appointment with Omni Security scheduled for next Wednesday. I'll let you know how it goes.
Ok so I just spent 3 hrs searching online cuz i cant figure it out. And got no where. So I found one thing and I got somewhere. So now I usually ditch it and say screw it. But my HS is not setup. Want it setup.
And starts with my alarm. So i found something so absurd that i thought i would try it. IF YOU JUST NEED TO RESET YOUR DEALER CODE BACK TO 4321 DO THE FOLLOWING. unplug alarm from outlet. locate eprom. remove eprom. wait 2 minutes.
can verify as keypad will do nothing by trying options. plug prom back in. plug power back in im not sure what happened. I didnt unplug the battery. Making me wonder if my battery backup is bad. So will have to hit it with a meter later. But once i removed the eprom (lil 8 pin chip) and put it back in.
The system went into a sensor test. Took 15 minutes i believe. Then i was able to use 8+4321+0+0 to get to system programming NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Since i couldnt find this anywhere on google thought id add it here.
Did you ever verify if the battery was dead? Or did you pull the EPROM while it still was on battery backup?
I unplugged AC power Unplugged red lead off board from battery pulled eprom and waited 5 seconds. Put eprom back in and hooked up battery first (got a alarm chime so battery is still good) then plugged AC back in well all in all this is a way to get the dealer code returned and reset NOTHING.

Not sure if that is good or bad to be on the internet. I dont care really as I live in an ok area and if someone breaks in while we are away.
My most important possessions are with me. Hello everybody, SYSTEM STATUS The system status feature is like the “check engine” light in your car. If there is a flashing asterisk/star (.) on the screen of your keypad, the GE Concord 4 Security System wants to communicate a message to you, or wants to alert you to an open door and/or window. If the system wants to communicate a message other than an open door and/or window, the asterisk/star (.) symbol will flash on the screen and the panel will beep 5 times every minute. If an alarm goes off, the system will store it in its memory until you clear the message by pressing the asterisk/star (.) button.
When you press the asterisk/star (.) button the system will show you the message. Once you’ve seen the message it will automatically go away. This feature enables you to know day to day if an alarm occurred. Does anyone know what chip is used in the photo from Raj909 (in the thread above)? Mine looks identical (but with a different number on the sticky stuck to it). I can't figure out what manufacturer/chip etc to use to read it with the reader. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Hello, No, I have never taken mine out to see what the numbers are. I do remember reading on another form Cocoontech?? Where someone was flashing these to a new revision, with a swap. Try Googling that.
