How do i change my alarm master code?

A DSC alarm system should run off of battery power for several hours during a power outage, but if you have a longer period of downtime, the batteries can be drained. When that happens, you will need to reset the sensors using the keypad on the control unit. Step 1 Open the access door on the unit. Your DSC Security System is made up of a DSC control panel, one or more keypads and various sensors and detectors. The control panel, which is a metal cabinet, will be mounted out of the way in a utility closet or in the basement. The metal cabinet contains the system electronics, fuses and back up battery.
