Thanks for the info Acorn. So I would really only need to do a first stage reset to change the user codes, but it would still retain all the programming?

The simple answer to your question is NO & here is the reason why.

Read carefully, digest, then get an alarm engineer to do it, I'm sure you will understand.

Scantronic 808
Resetting Customer and Installer Codes (First stage reset)
If the installer and/or user codes have been lost, or you need to return the end station to the factory default access codes, you can load the default codes as follows:
1. Disconnect mains and battery power to the system.
2. Place a small screwdriver blade between the pins marked ‘RST’ on the main PCB.
3. Apply battery and then mains power to the end station.
4. Remove screwdriver blade from RST pins after three seconds.
The system loads the factory default access codes. (1234 for User and 7890 for Installer.) All user attributes return to default values.
In addition, the system re-initialises communications with all keypads.
The remaining programming is unchanged.

Return to Factory Defaults (Second stage reset)
If you need to return the end station to factory defaults (no programming and an empty log) then:
1. Follow steps 1 to 4 in ‘Resetting Customer and Installer Codes’.
2. Reset any alarms by keying-in the default User code and pressing Enter.
3. Key-in 0 (zero) followed by the default Installer code and then press Menu.
The display shows: MENU NO OR LEVEL
4. Press 0.
The display shows: 0:INST PROG
5. Press Enter.
The display shows: REMOVE LID
6. Open the end station tamper switch.
The display shows: LOAD DEFAULTS
Note: At this point you can press Menu to abort the process of loading factory defaults.
7. Press Enter.
The display shows: SURE
Note: At this point you can press Menu to abort the process of loading factory defaults.
8. Press Enter.
The display shows: LOADING DEFAULTS
Followed by: 00:PROG SYSTEM
The end station now has the full set of Scantronic factory defaults and needs reprogramming.

A small request, please post again to this thread to let us know what you decide to do.
