    And yeah, that guy needs to go back to wherever he paid to take his basket weaving course and demand a refund ?

     

    was fitted in the 1990's

     

    Optima 2+ metal ES + 8440

    then, TS690 + DC6

     

    The 280 with its big hole for wiring making the job easier than daft 20mm holes

    I have to be honest I wouldnt mind trying one of the Orico is it? Panels

    The only thing that put me off was the fact that its a direct selling model rather than being able to just pop into the nearest wholesaler to get one

     

     

    I'm not a member of the cult...

     

    Its just texecom mk2 stuff sold like gardtec

  2. Four oranges in a week is record breaking for me.

     

    It was either Tuesday or Wednesday I had a white tea in the office before 9:00am  & then a another white tea back in the office 4:00pm ish

     

    I went with one of my guys & put a data cabinet in a house with some engenius access points on the ceiling, for £150 each they are a pile of shite but appear to work well

     

    the builder got a hot drink made by the 20 something ginger daughter.

     

    My guy had pack up, I went to the manky chippy at 18:30ish, ate it at home with tins of carlsberg, then a shower,

    You can drill cut holes whatever you want

     

    Don't we have a loony who's always hacking at stuff with grinders & cone drills ?

    You haven't been to many systems post-burglary then.

     

    I recently had a camera smashed off the rear of a shop on council estate (the type where all the stock is severed though a hatch)

     

    I can't recall any alarm smashed of the wall in a long time

    So basically it's load of nonsense to do it that way just put a terminals block in solder if you have to or something, stupid fire cables running through panels makes nonsense

     

     

    Unless there's another good reason for it?

     

    Fire Alarms was traditionally normally open so the cable would have be fire rated to change to the normally closed state during a fire

     

    The issue  with shared communications is the intruder panel is not rated to the same standby time as fire controls ect...

    Why do these nuttas insist on taking the fire and forcing into the terminals 

     

    Is it a compliance thing?

     

     

    signalling via the intruder alarm dualcom don't comply regardless on how it wired

     

    I'd rip the controls out but its 14 wireless devices + a wireless pa(s)

     

    If it comes with an engineer I'll retain it, other wise I put a new wired alarm in?

    Having trouble getting an engineer no-one getting back to us. 

     

    Get in touch with Risco & they will provide you details of somebody who will be able to support it.

     

    However, non maintained alarms that have been tinkered with are as desirable as chlamydia....

    Thanks for that, really appreciate it. I am open to replacing the PIR's, so if you have a suggested make/model PIR that is compatible with a Galaxy Flex that would be great.

     

    put resistors in your old tat & get the system working before you buy some new tat ?

     

    anything with a n/c alarm + n/c tamper will work with your galaxy

     

    I have no idea what pir's are sold in the Australia market, however the panel can define its own resistor values

    Not sure if this is the place to ask... but here goes. I have a Galaxy Flex RIO unit that I want to add to my system. Unfortunately it's not the powered RIO. Don't suppose anyone has a clever idea for powering a non-powered RIO like it was a powered RIO?

     

     

    just power it off the panel ?

    They used them (originally) on the Railways for telecommunications - such as with remote telephones where there was no power and for block instruments to signal between signalboxes.
    I saw some factories - where they had their own internal phone system and exchange.

     

    Most - if not all early security alarm systems were battery only.
    It wasn't until BS4737 came in, that a requirement was made for them to be dual powered.

     

    Flag Batteries are about 40Ah; so you could get quite a bit out of them

     

    Sadly most of the weird & wonderful stuff is gone.

     

    Most things are off the shelf stuff by the cheapest provider.
