Hi , Friday Night Just Before 9pm Still On Site Trying To Program Up A Zone As Keyswitch On Above Mentioned Panel , Having None Of It Can Anyone Help ??

Hello I have a system with a Veritas 8C control unit. I recently had my back door replaced and the fitter wrecked the old contact sensor. The alarm is currently disabled as it won't set. Can I fit an IR sensor in place of the contact and how will I recommission the system? I don't have a manual. Many thanks to anyone who can help. Ray O Wolverhampton

gentlemen, after many arguments with risco and their technical dept. ref the quality of this wirefree product and its installation manuals, could anyone leave us some general feedback as to your experience with this product. I am interested in your views in relation to user friendlyness, user reset and functions, display modes/ properties and general engineering prograsmming issues, all of which we have experienced as an install company. This is not to mension the wirefree bell unit. Please keep the answers clean as we intend to show the rep from risco your views on the product thank you all

Would a Laptop make an engineers life easier and save the company money or is just boys & toys?

Hi, I am in the process of nominating WINPAC as the standard access control system we are installing in our multi occupied commercial premises. I am getting a bit of grief from a s v small minority who think Paxton is the best route based mainly on cost. I am getting tired of trying to persuade them - whats the best way to prove WINPAC is worth the extra investement over Paxton. Thanks in Advance

My alarm is showing that a tamper reset is required. It was fitted by Initial Security and I don't have the installer code. How can I switch off the Tamper Reset without having to fork out

Quick one folks, does anyone know the part number for an autodialler for the CS450? Thanx.....

Hi, Just moved into new home that has a Veritas 8 or R8 (not sure which) alarm system. By mistake I set off the tamper alarm by opening the main box (didn't know what it was, thought it might be cable so wanted to check). Since then the entrance hall PIR sets off the alarm even when it is unset (green led constantly on). Any ideas what I could do about that? Thanks for any replies. Pieter

Hi, can anyone help, I've recently moved house and I'm trying to setup the alarm system that which was installed prior to me moving in. The things is I don't have a manual, can anyone help. The only decal on the front are the digits A1, I've searched the internet but I'm unable to find a manual. The systems has 4 zones, 3 PIR's and 2 door sensors linked serially to one zone.
