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.
Quick Facts
- Default installer code: 1111 ("four ones"). [Elektroda, howaitofurasshu, post #17923364]
- Password-only reset exists; it clears master and installer codes but leaves settings intact. [Elektroda, howaitofurasshu, post #17268742]
- 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]
- Reported Solid fee after warranty expiry: PLN 150 net; free at warranty end. [Elektroda, king kong, #17267179]
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]
