FAQ
TL;DR: Default GTX One installer code is 1111; "Four ones." If it was changed, restore factory passwords and then wire your new sensor to a free line, rather than wiping the whole setup. [Elektroda, howaitofurasshu, post #17923364]
Why it matters: This helps homeowners with Risco GTX One panels locked by installer codes add sensors and regain control without unnecessary service calls.

- DIP switch bank location: center of the PCB, slightly above the case tamper spring; clearly labeled. [Elektroda, howaitofurasshu, post #17951763]
- PC programming starts from service mode; you need installer access. [Elektroda, szymon122, post #17258815]

What's the default installer code for the Risco GTX One?
- As one expert phrased it: "Four ones." Use this before attempting any resets or service calls. [Elektroda, howaitofurasshu, post #17923364]
How do I reset only the installer and master passwords (not the whole panel)?
Use the onboard password-reset DIP.
- Power off the control panel.
- Change the reset DIP’s state, then power on.
- Confirm factory passwords work, then return the DIP to normal. This process doesn’t erase other settings. [Elektroda, howaitofurasshu, post #17274224]
Which DIP switch performs the password-only reset?
The second DIP from the left resets only the master and installer passwords. It does not wipe configuration. [Elektroda, howaitofurasshu, post #17268742]
Where is the DIP switch bank on the GTX One board?
Look near the center of the PCB, slightly above the casing tamper spring. The DIP bank is clearly labeled. [Elektroda, howaitofurasshu, post #17951763]
Can I program the GTX One from a PC without the installer/service code?
No. Programming mode starts from service mode. Without the installer code, you cannot enter that mode. [Elektroda, szymon122, post #17258815]
If I use the password-reset DIP, will I lose my zones or settings?
No. That DIP clears only master and installer passwords. Your zones and configuration remain unchanged. [Elektroda, howaitofurasshu, post #17268742]
What does Solid charge to restore factory codes after warranty?
One user reports Solid restores for free at warranty end. After expiry, Solid quoted PLN 150 net to reset. [Elektroda, king kong, #17267179]
Can I add another detector/zone without knowing the installer code?
Yes, if spare lines exist. Connect the detector to an unused zone input. This basic wiring can be done without the installer password. [Elektroda, kood, post #17260333]
Should I perform a full factory reset to regain access?
Avoid it unless you plan to reconfigure everything. A factory reset wipes setup and requires complete programming again. [Elektroda, Anonymous, post #17258879]
After a password reset, what code should I try first?
Try the factory installer code 1111. This is the known default for the GTX One. [Elektroda, howaitofurasshu, post #17923364]
What happens if I forget to switch the reset DIP back?
Passwords will reset again on the next power cycle. Return the switch before finishing to avoid repeated resets. [Elektroda, howaitofurasshu, post #17274224]
Why do installers change the installer code?
To prevent unauthorized changes to critical settings. As one pro notes, it’s “to prevent an unauthorized person from changing the system settings.” [Elektroda, suworow, post #17951719]
Will a reset grant me access to programming mode?
Yes. After a restart, you can program with factory passwords. “Don’t be afraid... restart it and give you access to programming.” [Elektroda, suworow, post #17268374]
How do I locate free lines to add a sensor?
Inspect the zone terminals for unused positions. If you have free lines, you can connect a new detector there. [Elektroda, kood, post #17260333]
. Solid, due to the fact that the warranty on the system has already expired, wants PLN 150 net for driving up and changing the code to the factory. What do you suggest Connect with a computer and try to do something by yourself, reset to factory settings ??
