A couple of weeks ago we started getting a "System Troubles:" message on the keypad screen when attempting to set the Agility 3 alarm. When this message appears it pretty much blocks the alarm from doing anything else. It can happen over and over again. The alarm was installed last March/April 2015 and hasn't shown this problem until February 2016 -- and it stopped us being able to set the alarm on exit for a few days. Then all of a sudden the problem went away, luckily on a day it was really needed. I read in the manual today that the troubles can be bypassed - but is it possible to retrospectively review what caused the troubles? All the times the messa…

I've had an ongoing problem with some devices reporting "supervision loss" in my Risco Cloud event log. The sun room is a PIR camera device. As you can see this was since last summer, and the original installer has gone AWOL. Does this message mean the PIR is faulty, or (as i saw in some other posts on this forum) the signal strength is poor on Risco kit ?

If I set DIP switch 2 to 'on' and wire up a simple phono cable to the SPKR and GND terminals I can link the Agility 3 panel up to the line-in on my Sonos AMP nearby. This allows the voice notifications and beeps to be played through a selected Sonos zone in the house (or group of them) which is lovely as my main Agility panel is in the loft far away from the front door. However if DIP switch 2 is 'on' and DIP switch 3 is 'off' I get a panel tamper alarm going off. This isn't discussed in the engineer manual so I'm wondering if there's some standard procedure i've missed regarding storing new DIP switch positions before power cycling or something ? Or is t…

I have a powermaster 30 great kit just upgraded the installation to the new lastest powerlink 3 etc instead of the gsm for the cam units x 5 , but whilst programming thought i'd do some other bits at same time , a few more smoke detectors and extra tower cams etc and some spare fobs i had for "just in case" standby loss etc. Point, obviously sticking to the right freq of 868hz of my kit, I can get a new key fob( kf-234pg2 868:0:030) to be recognised by its i.d. by main panel, but tried and tried but no joy to get it to work fully , issue light on ( yell triangle) going to put in x4 fobs but can not get the one to work, but states it will not network at all, any sug…

Hi Been asked to install a CCTV system for a client max budget is around £400. Now he's spotted a swann system in maplins for £340 and says he'd like that but if I could find anything better then get that, but he said he wants it to be at least 720p recording and image. I'm not to keen on using a swann system but having difficulty find another system that users that particular spec or better for the same price. Any1 got any ideas on something other than a swann kit?
