(Repost cos I got the panel name wrong)

I've just moved into a house with what appears to be a Veritas R8 alarm
panel that was installed around 7 years ago. I have downloaded the
manual from the Texecom website, but it doesn't seem to give the right
function codes. I want to change the pin code and to do a walk test,
but when I follow the instructions for changing the code I put in the
current code and then press the Prog key which gives me some sort of
error tone and not the response I'm expecting, and then it doesn't
accept the "60" menu code. Does anyone know if this is an old version
of the panel and if so where I can get the instructions on it please?
I know for certain that I have the correct pin as I can successfully
set and unset the alarm with it.

The programming method changes between old and new versions, instead of
pressing prog try 00 (zero Twice)
This may solve your problem.
