Recently I posted a few questions about our >25 year old Westec 5000 and received very helpful responses. We've got a few follow-up Qs.
1.
Does anyone know where to obtain the Installation Manual for that system? We've got the Owner's Manual that's used to operate the owner keypad.
2.
Does anyone know how to program the system?
Is it done from the board?
Or from the owner's keypad (of which there are three and through these we arm the system and turn it off)?
3.
Another Q - what must one do to cause the system to phone a particular phone number?
Right now, when the alarm is triggered the monitoring company is alerted (by way of a telephone landline) but we would like to discontinue their service and be in a position to control what numbers the system calls when the alarm is triggered.
Is there a gadget that can be added that would do this?
Or is it always a question of programming the board?
4.
Last Q - Does anyone know whether there are resistors built into the magnetic sensor switches themselves, or are the resistors mounted somewhere else in the system?
The switches that are currently installed in the system are Sentrol 1075/65 switches and I have not dissected one to see whether there is a resistor in it.
Thanks in advance for any help/light you can shed on these Qs.
