Try disarming system twice to get the fire zone to reset. If that doesn't work, try to downpower the entire system, including back up battery then re-power the system with the back up battery first.

First of all, here is the direct link to the ONLINE USER'S MANUAL for that model:

See page 17 of the ONLINE USER'S MANUAL for detailed instructions on how to reset the unit to default settings. Basically it says:

Push the MENU button, select admin and enter 3477 for the password, then press OK to confirm.
Use the arrow keys to navigate to UTILITIES, then press ENTER.
Then navigate to RESTOREPARA and press ENTER.
Then select OK to confirm and the system will automatically reboot.

Please comment back here to this page if you have any questions, have difficulty accessing the links, or just require further general assistance and I will respond as soon as I see it.

Thank you very much and good luck.

If memory serves me correct, most of the GE/Truvision etc. DVRs have to be sent back in for the password to be defaulted. I may be incorrect on this, will double check.

doors and windows are armed with the single press. All devices programmed as "perimeter" will arm. "interior" devices still need a second press of the lock button

The TVR 30 is shipped with one predefined user for the system administrator and seven predefined standard users. The default system administrator logon uses admin as the account name with a default password of 1234. You can modify the admin password but not the admin user name. The seven predefined standard users are labeled User1 to User7 with a default password of 4321 and level 4 access. The administrator can customize the seven standard users and define their privileges. Use the Users screen (shown in Figure 20 below) to manage users. Note: When accessing the main menu for the first time, the system lets you pick either an admin user or a regular user (User 4) by default. If you select User 4, enter the initial default password of 4321.

Double check the alignment of the sensor and magnet, the house may have settled and the alignment may have changed enough to show the fault / set the alarm off. There should be a notch or series of notches on the transmitter, make sure the magnet is centered on that. Also make sure the gap between the two is as small as you get it and still able to operate the windows (both vertically and horizontally). If all that checks out, you could have a tamper switch (GE uses a spring to hold it down) that is not getting fully depressed. or, you may have a bad transmitter. If it is the spring, you may be able to stretch it out a little to ensure good pressure on the tamper switch.

you need to get the installer code, then enter programming mode to delete the sensor.

red & black is your power + & ground -. Yellow and black is your video and ground. you probably don't have audio if there is not another wire. If you have a shield wire around the others sometimes that is used for ground and in that case red and shield wire would usually be the power.

Most likely capacitors failing on the camera process board. They can also cause no picture, dark picture and sync loss. I use freeze spray to try to make the symptoms happen and heat to bring try to isolate it to an area. It's not so easy to change the capacitors if you do find which one (s) though.

Try removing the plugin and reinstall if it is there. It is possible the plugin did not install properly or it was blocked by security settings. You may have to lower security settings temporarily while you install and may have to enable active x settings.

there is an auto arm feature programmed in to the system. Check your setting and the system clock.

It may have been previously learned into a zone. Sometimes, the motion will trip and activate a signal that can be learned into another zone you are trying to program. exit programming, then "tamper" the cover for the circuit board, not the battery access, on the motion, check the "status" light to see if a zone is displaying "tamper". Also check battery orientation in back of motion. When battery is first installed correctly. The light should activate during the first minute.
