new house new alarm

we just moved into a new house with a DSC 1616 power series alarm installed. Not sure if it was monitored or not. I do have the master code but not the installer code. The key pad was a bit banged up so I opted for the PK5500 instead of replacing the PK5501. Now I have an error triangle with dashes on screen. How can I get it to work with out error screen and showing status on screen. I believe it has been lock out. What can I do?

Please help

@headviking If you are a DIY and home automation fan, then I suggest looking online to find out how to factory reset your DSC 1616 alarm panel (involves some wiring and grounding of a pin on the control chip), enter a new installer code, and configure the panel from scratch so you know exactly how everything works. If not, then I would suggest contacting an alarm monitoring company and have them take over system configuration and maintenance.

Have you tried the default installer codes (5555, 5010, 1550, or 1500)?

If it's locked out I don't think a 16XX series will allow the factory reset jumper hack.  Might be easier to just buy a new 1832 panel for $50.
