    I won one in a draw from Norbain a few years ago, the quick crimp type that push through cores gets cut off when crimped. I prefer it to my ordinary one. I also bought a cheap one on Temu because I didn't believe it would be any good but its fine, think I paid £7 for it .

    I would suggest that is the panel, its not one I have seen before but I would think that is it.

    https://www.cdvi.co.uk/our-products/300l-adj/ Its adjustable to allow for this situation.

    It is usually me that gets it wrong, I read it quite a few times too, couldn't believe I was right for once

    You are not reading what he typed correctly he typed "with the panel and sensors pulling 0.55 A" Now there was no mention of mA so 0.55A no matter how you try to dress that up is slightly over half an amp. He may have made a mistake but either way what he typed is 0.55A not 0.055A which would be 55mA

    Thats half an amp in my book
  8. ian.cant
    Two things of note here, if your panel is pulling over half an amp quiescent that seems quite high to me and also if your new battery is dropping to 12v under load I would suggest its not a good battery.

    Most likely because you are activating the devices just before or during the setting procedure. Wireless devices will go to sleep for a short period after activation to conserve battery life. If you try triggering a device that has not activated recently you should find the system will respond almost immediately.

    Has the system actually completed the setting function? Set the system and trigger a device without starting the entry timer.
  11. ian.cant
    Yes

    He said its not worth the bother, he broke one trying to get it apart.

    Will ask the question tomorrow!

    The Testifire one issued to me at G4S was £1400. The fire guy at has one apart at the moment, he seems to know what he's doing, if theres anything I can ask him for you Pete?

    I think that is the ACT Calmaster unit in the pic I posted, We have the older version which looks similar.

    Currently we send the Checkbox and the calibrated meter off for calibration annually. The Checkbox works but its a bit of fanny on and on current calibration the figures are never steady. We probably need new leads or maybe the connections are past their best and we need a new box. I just thought there maybe a more modern automatic unit, guess there is little call for it to be worthwhile developing.

    Hi Guys, what kit do you use for multi meter calibration? We currently have an older version of one of these Calmaster units which seems to be a bit of a faf on to me,. Is there not something more modern that is a maybe more automatic and produces a print out of results or is that just silly money anyway? Just wondering if this is what you guys all use also?

    Firmware probably doesnt match as I found out recently trying to add an expander to an Ion 160, contact Eaton Tech support desk for confirmation.

    The zone sits in alarm, Ive taken the pir back to the storeman and told him they aint no good as a replacement for some of our existing panels. Fine for new installs of course.

    It was Pete, would do it all again if I could guarantee the same perfect day. You dont get the option of not connecting the AM up it only has 2 connections for the loop
  22. ian.cant
    Yeah the resistors bit I sussed but they come on a little board that is fitted to the PCB, there was no jumpers.
  23. ian.cant
    They dont come much richer, she is married to me now ;-)

    Hi guys its been a while since my last confession but it seems I could do with some help, I dont see much intruder these days. I was given one of these Texecom Premier Elite AMDT to replace a defective Honeywell DT, the existing DT is connected to a Menvier panel. Am I right in thinking that these detectors can only be used in a EOL situation? I couldnt see how you could connect them as just an old traditional 2 loop alarm and tamper circuit.
