My guess is there was a short in a wire somewhere attached to the panel which is why the electrical smoke happened when I plugged in the new transformer. Tested the bell connector wiring and there is less than 0.5 VAC going to the bell. I tested the current again and the panel is receiving around 17-18 VAC at the AC connector. Did that a couple more times and the smoke stopped. Unplugged the transformer and tried switching the wires around and plugging back in but more smoke. The bell sounded for an instant and then electrical smoke started pouring out of the control panel coming from the "W10M" small round black diode looking thing. Bought a replacement transformer and wired it up and plugged it in. Tested the voltage with a multimeter and there was no power coming from the transformer so likely the transformer was bad. I checked the control panel and the power transformer was plugged in. Both keypads had no power when we moved in. There are two keypads (DSC Power832) and the control panel (PC5010). Recently bought a house built in 1999 with an existing DSC 815 / PC5010 security system installed when the house was built. I am basically trying to not have to resnake the power wires thru the wall. When I doo this and plug the outlet into the wall I am getting no power to the Ring Keypad. I would take the ac adapter which has the black/yellow and red/blue wire & connect it the black/yellow wire to the Black voltage step down wire and take the red/blue wire and connect it to the RED voltage step down wire. So I purchased a voltage stepdown micro usb adapter. In order for me to power the new ring keypad it needs a 6v micro usb power source. The existing adt alarm system has 2 keypad and 4 wires Black Yellow Red Blue going to each keypad that was connected to the old panel.īecause the wires are already snaked in the wall I want to use the existing wiring to power the new ring keypad. This existing ADT Alarm Panel is powered by this beige Pittway AC Adapter. I have an existing ADT Alarm System that is powered by this ac adapter that has a black/yellow wire & red/blue wire going to the main panel which is a Ademco 4284/4285 panel.
