Hopefully nobody noticed but there have been a few upgrades on tsi. Mainly aiming for speed improvement on mobile mainly if anyone has seen a speed increase.

get your property to finished surfaces - oh, I think I have a burglar alarm....

If you do get a supply of them... unlikely to get a large quantity from a wholesaler if they even have them listed; I would suggest to replace as part of any maintenance. The transparent wiring cover will easily flick out at the hinge with correct application of a flat screwdriver, so you could have covers ready to go with spare wiring covers (buy a few dummies). I know it's not the point but you could consider getting some adhesive 12v LED tape instead, most thinner stuff can be cut at 8-10cm sections make them up ready to go. It's less hassle to go forward using the same box if you want, but not offering or connecting the illumination. As I say I don't offer illuminated sounders every now and then a new customer enquires about them, I ask if they have or have applied for planning permission to have one and then explain the details of this. If the customer even wanted to put the effort in to apply, your unlikely to get it granted in a domestic situation. No neighbour wants to look at your light up advert looking across the road in the evening... more importantly, I don't feel they should have to either.

Isn't the iwise bus a bus detector that will only work on a risco panel? You have also probably blown the fuse or panel. Wires shouldn't 'touch'

Tat alarms & naff doorbells is what the public want...

I know its warm, but put your dressing gown on...

Just consider permanently illuminated external sounders require planning permission, if the decal space is used. I would disable anyway. Make sure the controls are in full working order, charging rates, voltages etc; before only replacing the siren.

Sounds like someone else over specced and it ended up in your van...

AIUI in that situation it's still all the same rules and repayments but HMRC no longer have access to your tax code or income, so you have to provide evidence. If you disappear your rate is charged the maximum monthly amount and you are charged interest on late payments.

i think we will have to agree to disagree Al

News to me, the legal info is missing from each of the websites, google finds the info regardless This was only interesting bit of info for me- 4000 x £150 is £600k which is not a lot of money for running an arc ?? (yes cctv pays more, however something like a smartcom will pay less) I guess at - https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/11798207

My email is a gmail not a business one, I set it up when I bought my cameras from them so I don't get marketing emails. If the splitters are tat I won't use them

There can be unforeseen planning permission issues and they are unnecessary light pollution. You can fit them without connecting the backlight on the X's, but can purchase the twin siren non-X ones for similar price. Covering a new box with what I guess is some old C-Type cover would remove the deterrent of a shiny new box and reduce sound output. If you are thinking of not buying a lid for this sounder it just will not work, they need a compatible lid.

The corcern is the installer is liable if your system fails to perform. I understand their position and they are correct. Don't know orisec and not sure it can be locked. I would. However if your out of support with your maintainer they should default the panel (at a cost if visit required). No your not locked into them assuming you own the hardware. But the programming may be theirs. A default protects everyone so that's the way to go

this is the windows one which is part of the full tablet app that runs the engineers fault finding tracking etc

searching for TSI in his emails, as he's expecting a compo claim for his Traumatic Sexual Injury in the prison showers ?

I assume his McManison was built with stolen stuff & he's just got out of HMP Forest Bank ?

I wouldn't be messing about arguing with a customer and looking at a website at the side of the motorway. If already paid I'm doing it or not and then GTFOASAP. Agreed, complete idiot of a customer and the terms seem fine considering your paying for the convenience of call out with equipment and danger of working in live traffic. Altho TBF tyre is cheap Chinese thing replacing a Bridgestone, but he's right they are a stupid size and like a rubber band so probably an arse to fit. Does it matter to get you home and off the motorway... the longer your on the shoulder more chance a HGV wipes you out...

Not totally, remember the insurance companies lost a lot of money through covid and with weather events too.

Smoke alarm

Never heard of brooks before internet, thorn was finishing off as I was getting going... IIRC

Looks like the chequebook lads thanks for all your replies.

the internet says its does upto D1 / 960H ?

I have mad ideas for charities- A homeless outreach, we pick up all the street drinkers, get 'em cheap suits/ frocks from matalan & hit the ebor festival...

Isn't there some rule about swearing at people on this forum?

The gt40 has Ethernet (RJ 45 onboard) and it also has GPRS for IP traffic with appropriate data SIM and GSM for SMS. The gt20 has Ethernet only. The modules were a collaboration between Chiron and Honeywell. I have a GT40 on the shelf for development purposes. I wouldn't advise buying one as they're not great. A better option is the IP module - either Selfmon vmod or Honeywell V4.16 module and buy a cheap 4G router to provide a backup IP path in the event broadband goes down. In fact, unbreakable broadband and a UPS on the router is a good option.

Eol resistors are for End Of Line use they shouldn't be in the panel expander etc. If the flex supports seol then you would out this at the end. I haven't looked in detail at the existing wiring

You can also use an RS232 lead connected to the panel. From your other thread, it sounds like you already have the RS232 connection sorted out, so the cheapest option would be to use that. Note that the upgrade wipes the settings, so be sure to perform a complete site backup before the flash upgrade.

Use one of these at far end and link two windows , perhaps you can seperate them this way rather all the windows on one circuit https://www.citysecuritysystems.co.uk/honeywell-dodt8m

I have seen many diffrent installation styles over the years, Clips vs staples, surface run vs hidden, taught vs slack. Personaly I take pride in my 1st fix and cabling and do it properly but that does slow you down. The work I observed with a contractor on a new build housing estate was so slopppy that I pulled him up on it, his justification was that he had targets to hit and they dont pay him enough to give a **** And there seems to be the problem paying **** money to general contractors under pressure to get the job done as quickly as possible. If I had paid good money for a new house I would expect the cable for the window sensor to be run through the upvc window frame and under the window sill not surface run and poorly clipped As mentioned BS7671 is a good place to start for general regs

You will need 2 resistors if this is a galaxy on deol

We have had a rather large upgrade, some new features but mainly security. Let me know if you have any issues. James

Yeah

Thanks for the welcome messages guys... I've managed to track down a suitable course. Booked in next month ? Will update this thread with my experience and looking forward to getting my first install ?

48 would be more than enough, it's will never be a G3 system but you seem to be aspiring to that spec. Have you considered standby time, I prefer more PSU's i.e. PSU200XP and 7Ah batteries over 17Ah. In fairness some of this is completely pointless overkill (we have to assume the risk based on DIY), your bound to have unnecessary headaches with G3 kit which is some of PJ's point. I still can't agree pointing any movement sensors towards windows/openings is in anyway correct or has faster detection, you'll also never find a manufacturers instructions to concur with this. You can get crosstalk with MW, I only fit Optex ones with anti-crosstalk but none of your sensors are close enough. I'd say it's only the "pointless" hall one with any chance of MW leakage outside the protected area, I'd also assume K band MW which has less wall penetration.

Hi and welcome I work four days a week including Wednesdays but we dont fit Pyronix or Hik if we can help it

Your engineer code is different from what your trying

Arf is that you?

Hi Brian Welcome, any branded sounder will be suitable replacements, but the terminology used between brands is normally different. The paragon is an old panel and was made before Pyronix bought out Castle and so its likely the older panels will have different terminology then later products

OP, Yours is 6 wire sensor with no tamper circuit The real Comet- In some of the Alibaba pics the "clone" has "Rokonet" moulded onto the cae

It's ungraded DIY tat that sends all your data to Amazon?

There are people out there that swear by Risco, but I cant help feeling thats because its cheap, and many installers wont touch it. Its not the easiest to work on and its not got the best reliability reputation. We would not take one over either, but there are people that will just make sure that they install them rather than just want to take it over for the sake of it.

As I've decided this is a furry free zone thanks for your comments but please don't any more. However if your normal human self wants to that's fine. I will add for some reason this to the terms and conditions.

ding dong...

none of the ones listed....

It's been said before but your going have much less hassle installing a full system with kit all matched together. Some decent IP turrets will send and receive audio and alarms from the camera itself using TCP/IP. No messing about trying to make different manufacturers compatible with each other. Single wire to each location with options of better image quality over 4-format turrets. Unlikely to get more than 10-15m out of USB peripherals without some conversion. Have used HDMI/USB combiners myself to solve similar.

? 4603 would be early 90's radio tat ??

I've no issue with students paying back for their uni education, a fair way imo rather than everyone else paying for it. As you say it's only paid back at a percentage over a certain amount of earnings (9% of outstanding debt when you hit 28k or thereabouts) I could count on one hand the people from my school who went onto uni but nowadays it's the norm so dilutes the talent pool imo. There's also the cost of accommodation and living if they don't qualify for a grant and for a couple of years we were paying over £1.2k pcm just for accommodation. As I say, I have no issues with those who benefit paying back providing those who can't afford it are subsidised to go in the first place. *eta, not talent pool, more the prestige of going.

I haven't seen anything like this for a long time, vaguely remember something about these being ultrsonics?
