@sixwheeledbeast I was looking at the same USB thingy before you posted... USB sockets ? no worse than the issue with a lighting circuit with bulb, transformers & pir's ? He's a Scotsman living in Yorkshire....

its from the era when more than 16 circuits was rare & expensive.... 10 latching sensors on one zone complied I assume there's more than 1 large steel box for the controls ?

it will work for a while....

they can do odd things like the above or continue to sounder the internal alarm after you've silenced it... they appear to play up more with age, l'd rip it out & put something new in

Ford Scorpio, these are a similar age to 4600 but cost a lot more £ at the time see many on the road ? expect to get parts easily for one ? expect the local ford agent to support one ? expect the people who where experts in 'em 25yrs ago to be still around? I could attend & look at a 4600, probably bodge a broken transmitter back to life or wait for used / BNIB to turn up on fleabay. 2 visits is gonna probably going to cost half the cost of new system.

the OP said 1999 ish- That back when people had CRT Tellys & VHS, (1999 argos book) gosh I feel old....

ideally you need an alarm man who been at it a long time or is experienced with working with old tat if you don't have yours maintained there gonna be no one with experience of working with it, the bloke who once fitted them are either dead, retired, no longer on the tools or chucked it & doing something else so you appear to have either got a fault on the tamper switch or the tamper terminals if you've very luck you may be able to bridge the switch or rework the terminals with an iron. also work all the dil switch up & down a few times, just encase the address is not right personally I'd have ripped out & stamped on it years ago.

there used to be model forms in 4737

hik fever thermal ?

have a ring round, I'm sure you find a dozen companies who are waiting for a big spender like you to call... This pandemic thing in the news, it will no way discourage anyone from beating a path o your door.

On topic- The downloader software won't install at work on windows 8.1, not tried another version or machine yet

Should have gone for the other Birmingham & got a colt python ?

your family moved to the west midlands by choice ?

I always viewed mini's as horrid death traps,

He appears to be quite a decent bloke, his video's leap around between cars a lot Mini is my favorite youtube stuff & I've never liked mini's...

Other car stuff I've been watching - I believe he's rebuilding to retail, its all properly pranged but looks honestly repaired, I appreciate the skill..... but can't see how it pays & some very skilled fabrication & engineering going on...

no, the board is borrowed off logan, I have accuired a couple of sites which are on webways & wanted a bench system to setup downlaoding the -i-on is better than I assumed it to be...

just random car stuff- 1972 is bit before my time,

powered up of a battery & logged in the web page...

its on the desk waiting for me to mess,

MK3 is probably the best looking ? The thorn one looked 70's sci-fi prop...

nah, I did a bit better than "trying" to be smart mk8 rkp looks like 1980's tat mk7 look like 1990's tat if the 2nd keypad was free, I'd still prefer to buy an identical one to go in the cupboard

& after the plague has blown over....
