  1. As above the relay wont have power on it, its just a switch to make the fan work you need to put power to it, but I guess this is not your objective. If you dont have a meter put one side of the fan to 0v put the other side of the fan to n/o and put 12vdc to the common then test it.
  2. I would say it would stop the panel tamper activating but not the sounder from alarming
  3. Not only that if he tells the OP the engineers code, the the OP has the engineers code for all of his customers systems. this would leave customers vulnerable, its a bit like ford telling customers a back door into the programing of their cars can you imagine the consequences
  4. put a recorder in both buildings or use a ubiquity bridge
  5. May be useful to someone that needs parts but doesnt want to go through the effort to buy a new system, but worth nothing to anyone in the industry I spend money skipping tat like that
  6. You used to be able to add a dialer but PSTN will be switched off soon so nobody is making them. There are GSM dialers available subscription to a mobile phone network required. You can by IP communicators but I am not sure that there are any that will allow you to diy it, and most have a subscription, the ones that are free are rubbish. As swb says if your not paying for someone to look after the server that monitors your alarm then someone is not going to look after it. There were a few free servers at one time, but every time they went down there was no rush to fix them, and most now charge for the service and to be fair they are fixed quicker. The 800l is a 30 year old panel now, maybe its time to get a proper alarm
  7. You seem to have got this site confused with facebook Dave

    Guardall

    That said that Vauxhall is probably a classic now according to Bangers and Cash. Its a bit different with electronics though, back when the Guardall panel was new everyone had TV's with CRT tubes, and incandescent light bulbs, I cant see those becoming classics anytime soon
  9. TBF its only gonna be a problem if theres a fire and a fatality....
  10. £400 seems reasonable, my tyres costs circa £300 fitted, to begin with let alone getting a new one fitted on the motorway. There is a danger value and a callout cost and a convenience factor the more I think about it the more I think its a bargain.
  11. Yeah but I feel constantly shafted Efficacy and Liability October, Fleet January, office buildings and contents February, Home insurance March, Personal vehicle insurance June. Then there is all the travel insurance when I go either on Holiday or to China on business. Ive not made a claim in years and years full ncb on the car never made a home claim, the fleet insurance is probably the only thing Ive had to claim on in the last 10 years.
  12. Infra red radiation is anything that sends out heat - basically has a temperature above around five degrees Kelvin - gives off infrared radiation. Therefore passive infra detector is looking for heat changes, but it is also looking for motion.
  13. DSC is no longer sold in the UK not many people here would know that panel unfortunately
  14. Cut and past the same stuff twice. Infra red is the detection method not what the detector is looking for, infra red detector detects heat or infra red radiation. Its unlikely that anyone can cover themselves up enough not to give off any heat at all . The ambient temp of the room versus the temp of the person. Even if the person was wearing a foil suit and giving off no heat (unlikely) he would be interrupting heat sources in the room. I would be looking a bit closer, what happens when you set the alarm and then walk in front of detectors? Nothing of what you have said makes any sense its almost as if your making excuses for the poor performance of your design
  15. What do you mean by we? QFA
  16. It doesnt explain why the Police were called in the first place, however, agreed it could be a plausible explanation
  17. Sounds a bit fishy, either someone walk tested the system and found blind spots, or the system was unset and the CCTV times have been adjusted to make it look like it was out of hours. The log logs when its armed and when its not Id be getting a print off and checking the CCTV very closely to make sure that the clocks are all correct. The only times Ive seen anything like it always turned out to be an inside job.
  18. Hi Niki You would probably need to get your installer to set this up for you
  19. Still better than a verisure system though
  20. You have either pulled a wire out or not closed the tamper switch on the lid properly
  21. I get this all the time, cutomers save a few quid buying their own cheaper than we can buy for. But we have to buy from a proper source, and usually if something is a lot cheaper then its for a reason. We buy batteries direct we know where they come from they are genuine and we turnover batteries very quickly so they have not been sitting around for six months. Buying from Amazon Ebay or even the bigger warehouses like B&Q you have no idea how long they have been sitting on the shelf, if the staff have recirculation the shelf. People do not realise batteries have a shelf life and that there are plenty of fake batteries out there too
  22. Agreed with James, I too dont know ion stuff but assuming its two way wireless and lithium batteries you should get 18 months minimum. Are you able to adjust the rf poling? its the only thing that could be draining the battery, but in that case I would expect them all to be coming up low battery
  23. you havent wired the bedroom pir up correctly if you have a tamper fault
