  1. neither the controls or the button are something we'd see in the UK

     

    one circuit wire into the left terminal,

    alarm value resistor across both the device terminals,

    a tamper value resistor the right terminal,

    2nd circuit wire soldiered on other side of the tamper resistor

     

    this would be double end of line resistors, you product or market place may do this differently...

    If I enter the engineer code, can I then extend the cable without fear of the alarms being activated?

     

    The bell should ring as soon as the power is removed regardless of whether its on day or engineering mode

     

    If the alarm is old, diy or fitted by a muppet, it might or it might not ??

  3. In case anyone cares-

    a hardware picture found on facebokk... 

  4. It a euro 46 with 76 zones as far as I'm the 46 did more than 46 zones ? It might have done 76 but I would have to look at the book...

     

    There is a plastic hybrid panel with built in radio coming... For the last couple of years 🙂

     

    Does the 280 do the app ?

  5. 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-

     

    Quote

    Britannia Monitoring Services in Goole, East Yorkshire, will be one of the first ARCs to adopt our network. The customer-focused ARC monitors around 4,000 homes and business premises around the country.
     

     

    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)

    Nope, some of H's chums over in six finger land Orion Elastimers apparently.

    Probably be surprised what a nerd would pay for it on fleabay. 

     

    I be £100.00 or offers... 

     

    However it was probably cira £50 to buy back In the day, so inflation wise a bad investment 🙂

    becoming quite valuable I see...

     

    the current offer from the Domino's is £12 for a large pizza... your "3 pizza keypad "is probably the same £ including vat as it was sold for 20 - 30 years ago when it was brand new & had a manufacturers warranty.

     

    Factor in inflation & even though it was probably nicked form work its been a less than Stella investment...

    Ion is not bad for diy if you already know the scanny menus generally 

     

    You quote the orisec? And texe? Both more difficult and the euro with zem complicated for diy ? What you saying blood?

     

    All commercial controls are much of a muchness,

     

    I did an ION 10 recently, I find them much harder than a euro, orisec or texecom

     

    There is no DIY controls, everything is based on assumed knowledge

    (I’m a spark and don’t do alarm installs, but happy to tackle my own).

     

    I work for lots of electrical contractors, I'd assume you'd have you own contacts

     

    Depending on what you've got & how's it fitted-

     

    CP-20, PE64-W or Euro 46 + Radio Zem

     

    I can probably change the controls in 1-2 hour, 15 mins a device & 30 mins for a sounder

     

    Nobody is producing consumer equipment, its all quirky...

    so need it as loud as possible! If after install and not being able to hear it a couple of fields away (to the neighbours) I'll add an extra sound bomb or two LOL.

     

    Mice fart louder than most current external sounders

     

    Sticking lots of stuff on the alarm means lost of current drawn in alarm all my P24 need 9Ah batterys
