Technical support
Technical support: report a fault
If your alarm, cameras, access control, fire detection or network stopped working, call us or leave your report here. It reaches our support team, it is logged, and a person will contact you.
Is there an emergency in progress? If there is an intrusion, a fire or a person in danger, call (507) 202‑3585 and the authorities now. The form, email and WhatsApp are not emergency channels.
Report a fault
Tell us which system failed, since when and at which site. This information helps the support team understand your case.
Leave your report
What 24/7 support means
That the (507) 202‑3585 line receives and logs your fault at any hour, every day. What follows (a visit, a replacement part or a device swap) is arranged with you. If your monitoring or maintenance contract sets conditions, those conditions prevail.
What happens next
- It arrives and is logged. Your report reaches our support team (soporte@atg.com.pa) and a case is opened in the service system.
- A person contacts you through the channel you left, to understand the fault.
- What follows is arranged with you, for example a visit. What each warranty and each contract covers is further down.
Maintenance plans
Preventive maintenance means scheduled visits to check the system and find faults before they leave you unprotected. Depending on the system you have, a visit checks:
See what a visit checks
- Cameras and recorder: the image and focus of each camera, recording, disk space and remote access.
- Alarm: sensors, siren and communication with the monitoring center, using the system test the manufacturer specifies (DMP’s “System Test” checks the siren, communication with the center and the backup battery).
- Access control: readers, locks, exit buttons and active users.
- Fire detection: detectors, manual pull stations and sirens, using the test the manufacturer specifies.
- Network and cabling: equipment, connections and faulty points.
Each plan is built with the customer
The frequency of visits, the scope and the price are defined in each customer’s contract: there is no one-size-fits-all plan. Tell us which system you have and we will propose one.
Already have a contract and something failed? Report it here.
Warranty: who answers for what
Each part of your system has its own warranty, and each has a different party responsible:
The equipment: the manufacturer
Each device (camera, recorder, panel, sensor, reader, switch…) has its manufacturer’s warranty, with the term and conditions that manufacturer publishes: as stated by the manufacturer.
Ask us which one applies to your equipment.
The installation: ADVSYSA
ADVSYSA supplies and installs the equipment.
Maintenance: your contract
What each visit covers is stated in your maintenance contract. Above, under “Maintenance plans”, is what a preventive visit checks.
24/7 monitoring: the monitoring center
If you contract it, it is operated by AMS (Advanced Monitoring Services, S.A.), a Grupo ATG company, under the terms of your monitoring contract. ADVSYSA installs and supports the equipment that communicates with the center.
Frequently asked questions
Three short answers. The steps are those of the keypads of DMP XR series panels, according to DMP’s user guides; you can read the full XR guide (in English, opens in a new tab). If your panel or keypad is another brand or model, the steps change. On 5- or 7-inch touchscreen keypads, tap “Keypad” in the carousel to see the standard keypad and its user menu. Never open the panel or touch the wiring; if in doubt, call (507) 202‑3585.
My alarm goes off by itself
Your safety first. If you see or suspect a real intrusion, smoke or fire, do not follow these steps: get to safety and call (507) 202‑3585 and the authorities.
- Enter your user code on the keypad (or hold up your card, if the keypad has a reader).
- Choose according to what happened. The keypad asks
IS THIS A FALSE ALARM?with the optionsYES/NOorCANCEL/VERIFY. If it was a false alarm, chooseYESorCANCEL: the alarm is canceled and the system is disarmed. If the alarm is real, chooseNOorVERIFY: the monitoring center is notified and the system stays armed. - Write down what the keypad showed (the zone or the message) for your report.
Silencing only the siren (ALARM SILENCE in the user menu) does not stop the report to the monitoring center.
Common causes of a false alarm
- A wireless sensor battery that is running out, which can send erratic signals before it dies (a DMP keypad flags it with
LOBAT). - A misaligned door or window sensor, which “sees” the door open even though it is closed.
- A motion detector set off by pets, sunlight, air vents or air-conditioning vents, or ceiling fans.
- A smoke detector set off by steam or cooking smoke, dust, insects or shower steam.
- A very sensitive glass-break detector, which can mistake other sounds for breaking glass, such as the TV, clinking dishes or keys.
If it goes off for no reason more than once, report it. Do not try to fix it yourself: do not open the panel or touch the wiring.

How do I change my code?
On DMP XR series panels, user codes are changed from the keypad’s user menu. According to DMP, an XR code has three to six digits.
- Press
CMDuntil you seeMENU? NO YESand chooseYES. - Enter your code and press
CMD. - Press
CMDuntil you seeUSER CODES?and choose any select key. The keypad showsADD DEL CHG BAT: chooseCHG(change). - Follow what the keypad asks: the number of the user you are changing, the new code, the name and the profile number (
PROFILE NO). When it is done,USER # CHNGDappears.
- On a 5- or 7-inch touchscreen keypad, tap
User Codesin the options carousel. - If the keypad shows
INVALID PROFILE, your code does not have permission for that function: ask whoever administers the system to make the change, or call us. - If you do not know your user or profile number, or the keypad asks for something you do not understand, do not guess: call (507) 202‑3585.

How do I test my alarm with the monitoring center?
Testing with the center has three moments: notify beforehand, test, and confirm afterwards.
- Before: notify the center. Call your system’s monitoring center and ask them to put it “on test” (on test): with the system on test, the center ignores its signals so that emergency help is not dispatched. Have your name, address and account number at hand, and agree on the test schedule. If you do not know who your monitoring center is or do not have its number, call (507) 202‑3585.
- During: run the system test. With the system disarmed, press
CMDuntil you seeMENU? NO YES, chooseYES, enter your code and pressCMD; then pressCMDuntil you seeSYSTEM TEST?, choose any select key and thenSYSTEM. The test starts on its own. According to DMP’s 2017 guide, the siren sounds for about 2 seconds (it is part of the test), the keypad shows the battery status (BATTERY - OKAYorBATTERY - TRBL), a test signal is sent to the center (TRANSMIT OKAYorTRANSMIT FAILED) and it ends withTEST END. - After: confirm with the center. Call them again to confirm that they received the panel’s signals and ask whether your system has come out of test mode.
If the keypad shows TRBL or TRANSMIT FAILED, write it down and call (507) 202‑3585. Do not open the panel.
DMP recommends testing the burglary part of the system at least once a week, with an active test of all the doors, windows and motion detectors connected to the system. If your system also has fire protection, DMP says to call the service department to find out how that part is tested: call us at (507) 202‑3585.
