You'll probably find new board is as expensive as a new panel, if not more, as most stockists will have to get one in special tbh.

Ditto.

Peter imho you don't have to justify anything, the Op posted, we, as 'professionals ', replied, end of tbh.

I take it Mr Blazincannon you are unimpressed with the professionals opinions?

That's a bit harsh Peter, Swann rubbish!, rip it out!, junk!, £200+ down the drain!.... Hi Blazincannon, welcome to the forums, please excuse Peter, he tends to be, well rather, shall we say, passionate some times as far as respectable kit goes, as do we all So as per his post tbph.

Yes, you may struggle to find spares as I'm pretty sure they're obsolete now

Why mend it if it's never going to be used?.

Hi Lyn, unfortunately we don't give out defaulting info on the public side, best bet is to call an engineer in, not a hard task to reset it, but it could maybe do with a service and battery change whilst your on, so it's worth it tbh.

Do a walk test.

Possible, but not reliable, search the threads, there's been a few discussions on such a subject.

No probs mate.

Safe as long as you don't put stuff in the wrong hole lol.

Yup, as per my previous post chap.

Nope, 0v is the sounder hold off -ve, you need red from bomb to +12v and black from bomb to bell (which puts a -ve to both bomb and bell when in alarm condition. The bell already has a +ve connected internally at the sounder.

Speaker input is millivolts, soundbomb's is 12 volts-see the problem?. Where on the system does one get a 12v output under alarm conditions?. I'm assuming you are after louder alarms sounds during an activation of the system and not louder entry/exit tones.

Just because they come in packs of five doesn't mean you have to use five. Leave the surplus to program if required in the future-in the end station is a good place, they won't get mislaid.

Surely most of the force off a ladder against a wall is downwards, even with a 'heavyweight' engineer on them. Unless of course the ladder was at a silly angle.

Not a dig mate, just wandered why tbh.

Over and above the call of duty possibly for a forum, phone calls etc, just saying-my take only, any views anyone?.

Killjoy.

As James, what goes in should come out.

Lol.

Copy of a reply from NSI when I questioned certain lack of testing etc in a previous employ. Where an alarm company installs a fused spur, it is important that the electrical safety of the fused spur and the fixed electrical installation supplying the fused spur should have been checked. Thus, the alarm company should carry out the appropriate BS 7671 inspection and tests on the electrical installation of the building. These electrical safety checks include inspecting and testing the main earthing arrangements at the main distribution board of the building, including the main equipotential earth bonding arrangements, inspecting and testing the means for automatic disconnection of supply (fusing or circuit breakers), etc, as well as checking earth loop impedance, and polarity at the fused spur point. (Please note that I am not intending here to give a full list of the inspection and testing needed; simply to say that it will need to include these matters, among other matters). I would suggest that some of the inspections and tests on the electrical installation of the building may be best done before the fused spur is installed, in case there are electrical safety issues to resolve within the building. It is of course necessary to carry out all the necessary electrical safety checks after the fused spur has been installed. Records of these checks would need to be kept and a minor works certificate would need to be issued. Please note that electrical work in dwellings now falls within the scope of Part P of the Building Regulations under which certain work must legally be notified to the relevant local authority. For example, this would apply if the fused spur is being run from a separate way (i.e. as a new circuit) from the distribution board. Yours sincerely Tony Weeks Technical Manager

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