Tex Ricochet-no affiliation to them, just saying!.

I'll swim....

As James, had mis-fired staples, pulled them out, metered the cable, very, very rare to actually cut a core.

2.5mm T+E, no fecking chance of damaging the 8core, seriously though surely we use staplers/clips, we all run the risk of damaging a cable!-put one 8 core in 16x25 trunking just to be on the safe side?.

Well that's one way of ensuring it isn't unplugged accidentally, Little transformer backed up by a 32A fuse, nice.

Why screened to rkp?.

Quad and DT to give confirmed in a bygone age.

Could be any one of them I reckon then judging by the state of the installs I've seen in the past!-any excuse not to use clips, trunking or any other method of cable containment-unless cable tieing to 230v cables counts.

Better surely than 4mm White clips knocked in every 8"-less obtrusive IMHO-and less potential for damage to!.

Do they do a wool handled one by any chance?

Adi, but it doesn't appear to have the triangular type socket I require mate.

Afternoon Guys, After a bit of help if possible, I'm trying to aquire one of the above triangle anti vandal/tamper screwdriver bits, Been to Norbain who have given me the info but will not supply me with one cos I don't have an account, and I don't wish to open one purely for want of a damn screwdriver!. Has any kind sole here got a Norbain account, or any other supplier of the bit, that would be willing to help me purchase one-it's fast doing my pip in lol. Kind Regards. Richard.

Morning all, I was grafting all weekend so had an early night yesterday!, and yes the comment was aimed at the 'cowboy' who installs Prems etc and knows naff all about them. Apologies if it seemed I was accusing-not my intent-and thanks guys for defending me. Richard.

Forum name 'Rulland',user/real name 'Richard' My apologies James,just thought it was easier for the op. Richard.

Sorry but if you aint used to real intruder kit you dont make the basic mistake of specifying more than 8 zones-cowboy!...........

OP wont have access to manuals, so here are the XM guides-one is the 'scanned',the other isn't!. Optima XM user Guide.pdf Optima XM user Instructions.pdf

B)B)B) Who's he calling an oldie!!-I'd take exeption if I were you.................LOL

Now Now Alarmguard-Count to 10 and breath deeply-in..................out....................in............... ..out

Although you aint reached the fabled 100 yet!

Hi Mark, I sincerely hope it all works out for you, as I think we all do on TSI. Regards. Richard.

Looks like it's requiring an engineer or anticode reset for some reason-I'd reset and check the progging and adjust as required.

Hi Al, Your diagnosis sounds correct-the panel will take any battery from a 1.2-6.0 Ah-proberably best to take the lid off and directly replace whats in there at the moment-obviously when you take the lid off it's going to go into tamper-just put your code in to shut it up-when you've put lid back on just reset the panel.
