How to change a pin on Bosch Alarm System

On a Bosch or Solution alarm system you change or add PIN codes directly from the keypad by entering the master code and following the programming sequence for your panel model. The steps below cover the Bosch 3000, the Solution 6000, and panels with the same keypad.

We will start off with the the Bosch 3000 system. If you have a Bosch/Solution panel, most of them will look like this, the number pad will have a “Stay” button on the bottom left and an “away” button on the bottom right.

1. Type in your master code, then press “1” and “AWAY”.
2. Press “1” and “away again.
3. Enter in your new code, then press “AWAY”.
4. If you hear a long beep, that means there is an error. In this case it is because I used a pin code that is already in the system.
5. If you hear a double beep, it means that this system has accepted the new pin and you will be able to use it to arm/disarm the system.
