Trade Control Panels

Just looked at one for a m8, hes now decided after upteen yrs to use part set A, unbeknown to myself hes took the doorway out and fitted a arch. So Z2 sees his wife in the morn to do a unset. Went thru prog`s no entry attribute. Just checked old manual, no option for access zones for enrty on part set. Old m8, dont want to stitch him for a new panel but it seems i have no choice. Any funky ideas out there?

Ok I give up. I rarely get beaten up by a system but the froggy bloody Domonial 800++ as just done that. I have 2 panels and loads of detectors and want to make good use of them but can I get into programme mode, nope. Powered up mains first then battery, connect

Since the post over in the overmoderation section is getting quite OT, I figured I would post one over here so the panels can be brought up with capabilities, as well as the photographic fluff. I'm not going to go through the whole trade specs and install manuals, but I thought that it'd be a nice thing to compare equipment, without pissing about specs, class, and all of the BS that seems to make up the British Standards. Here goes: I'm an installer doing some sub work (excellent $) overseas in NZ, but I am from the US. I've installed: Ademco (US) DSC DS ITI/GE Elk Moose/Aritech Napco Radionics/Bosch Firelite EST DMP DTI Focus (Ademco) Scantronic (US/UK) …

Just read a topic on a chubb installed panel and it says i would need pin of the day for programming but what about doing a battery change and service. Will i have any pitfalls? I take it i wont be able to default it. As far as i know its on a domestic, seems a big panel for a domestic. Adi

Hi All I'm taking over a 2500 in a couple of days, now I have used the Menvier software before but kicked it into touch as it was hit and miss to say the least. However, I need to get hold of a copy to help me with the takeover, thanks in advance

banghead how do you change a code on a cpa6? does anyone know how many user slots this panel has as well? any help appreciated guys, resolve will be forever in your debt

Does anyone have or is able to send pm me a user manual for the Abacus,Bosch,DS range lcd type keypad had a look on the manuals page but it only had the led type.

My boss's alarm was installed a long time a go by me when I was a nipper. We need to add a new zone for the extension he is having, but have long lost the engineer code TBH, it was the first alarm I had ever installed, but I did non the less change the eng code To what is the question! I can factory restart the newer style veritas panels with no problems, but the procedure doesn't work for the older ones, and the older manual doesn't make any reference to factory restarting. Anyone offer some advice, or do I just fit a new panel...?

Got a customer today who wants a system with SMS text notification, now we dont normally get domestic jobs, so iam stuck, i know that the premiers do SMS are there any others ?

14000 lines of that at the ARC receiver since yesterday evening.. any idea what may cause that and why isn't oneliner enough.. it is programmed so that KP2 controls directly SG1 which is associated with Area1 (Office) KP1 controls SG3 which is associated with Area3 Also KP1 is programmed to Both Areas 2 and 3 (due to e/e beeps) SG2 is associated to Area2 which is common area (garage) Idea is that if office is unset then also garage will be unset if garage will be unset, only garage will be unset access codes are properly set to SG1 and/or SG3 only..

Tried a karizma yeas ago and glad when i ripped it out. Took a job over from Mono a month ago with a karizma installed, easy i thought! Fit a C-C. ID straight swap. How wrong was i, spurious circuits and always different, seven F/A to date. Tech advice is do this and that. ACT said fit this and solder that, even recommended wrapping biscuits in tin foil (biscuits in tin foil) anyway today i ripped the **** out. Wait and see shall we. Tips for ID 1/ use screened cable 2/ all spare cores to ground 3/ wire all detectors to seperate PSU 4/ Never use D/tec a good PIR is better 5/ no more than 10 No. ID per line 6/ always solder biscuits to cable before term 7/ Oh foge…

What a bloody nightmare panel!!! Everyone i have spoke to hates it, a total pain in the //.B.W.F.// for resetting! Asks you questions which can make the end user think they have unset it when really they have not.

Anyone have the user manual for the above. With thanks Adi dont know why i put this in trade but there you go.

Any one els having problems with the cpx detectors Mainly PIRs addresses failing. I have had a couple of problems with a new provide where the detector address keeps disapeering of the system.

2 things found over the last few days... PREMIER 24 Has anyone else experienced this?..... 1. Glass fuses have been replaced with 'auto thermal fuses' on the 24 PCB, (I'm sure theres a proper technical name for em lol). A good idea in principal as it's always a pain trying to find the correct fuse in poor light, especially when on callout during the early hours and the intelligence is waning somewhat during the small hours. Bad news when the very first one we fit comes up with 'Aux Fuse Blown' on the rkp at random times yet the system is working fine and total power consumption in alarm doesn't exceed 600mA. Hopefully, a glitch on our part but not being able to phys…
