Factory reset ADC-620T Module for DSC Panels
Use this procedure only in the event that the network primary controller is missing or otherwise inoperable.
NOTE: This function will forcibly clear the Alarm.com ADC-620T’s Z-Wave node identification and will also remove all network information from the ADC-620T. Use this procedure only in the event that the network primary controller is missing or otherwise inoperable
1. A Z-Wave factory reset must be triggered from the Alarm.com dealer site
2. Navigate to the Equipment page.
3. Click the “emPower Devices” tab.
4. Open the “Advanced Z-Wave Commands” menu by clicking the button below the Equipment List.
5. Towards the bottom next to the “Equipment List Label” text click on the “Reset To Factory Default” button
6. Allow 3 minutes for the associated commands to go through and for the ADC-620T to act on them
Support for the Wake Up command class is enabled using Alarm.com’s rules engine. This requires a series of rules pushed from the cloud when Alarm.com detects that a Wake Up device has been added to the Alarm.com Module.
For this reason Wake Up notifications will only be handled properly by the Alarm.com module after any locally added Wake Up devices have been reported to the backend. This can take up to 15 minutes, but can be accelerated by using Remote Add or by requesting a Z-Wave Equipment List from the Alarm.com backend.
2.4 Learning the Alarm.com ADC-620T into another Z-Wave network
1. Learning in the Alarm.com ADC-620T using the Dealer Site
a. Log in to the Alarm.com Dealer Site

c. Navigate to the page to allow sending generic commands. This can be found in the AirFX Remote Toolkit or by navigating to https://alarmadmin.alarm.com/Support/Commands/GenericCommand.aspx
d. Place a controller on the existing network into add mode
e. Send the generic command 5B10030101 to the ADC-620T, once received it will cause the Alarm.com ADC-620T to learn into the existing Z-Wave network and will allow it to cause all relevant network information to be copied over from the controller that was put into add mode.
