I am trying to get some surplus parts that I recently bought to work as a
home security system.  I am using a RADIONICS Omegalarm D1112 system with
the wall controller (a keypad that controls it..).  At first, I couldn't
get it to stop alarming, then, I got it to go to a state of "NOT READY
TO ARM" by putting 1K Ohm resistors across all the zone inputs (as the 
schematic on the unit showed, and applying a Low to the Disable/Reset input.
Then it says "Preparing to arm... Not ready to arm"...  (which may be because
I am powering it from it's alternate power source right now...)  But when 
it is working, how do I change the code or enter a new one????  It keeps asking
for the old code (to silence the alarm), and I don't have this....  Is it
hard-coded on a chip when it is reset or does it default to some easy
to use number...  Any ideas????
