nope, it old old tat

your 20 odd yr old controls doesn't do that you've the choice of changing the wiring or change the controls,

R28 might need the pin braying back in if it's misfiring If it been dropped the body might need squeezing together with a vice if splaying out where the pin is The instructions say to oil them but I've never bothered

May I extend my sincere condolences... Welcome to TSI

does every circuit work... does the system work when the mains power is off, does the bell ring when the panel is completely powered down do you have a 20min cut off timer in the external box or does it ring for 3hrs+ ?

"Trade" can dearer, there's a credit a/c's & branch to pay for.....

You want set of controls for £150.00 ? Less vat thats £125, Materials would cost me £65+vat I'd expect an employee to cost 1/2 a day & transport Can't afford to do it.

its 30yr old, maybe retain the wiring & put rest goes in the bin.

You gonna gob that big hole up which may allow a fire to penetrate the stair case ?

every change of tenancy requires an electrical inspection, every cert will document the the no. of mains powered smoke detectors, IIRC battery only complies with the some recent landlord regs but not with the building reg ?

not really suitable for an rented property ?

yes, it also looks like it was wired in the dark by blindman

overloaded hence the little soot marks around the panel

little soot marks around the endstation ?

chavtasic...

never heard of it.... Google say yes to wetherspoons & mcdonalds,

being our resident texecom nerd.... How old do you reckon that cheapest made in china "awarding winning technology" battery is ?

Burglary hotspots are normally served by Yale or the local "value" alarm co. I been knocked back on a few areas where I can't afford to live, one with keys for ragtop A5 left in the garden as they could get it started

I try to avoid speech diallers, IIRC the last time I had the misfortune of touching a Texecom speech dailer it had all the menu's for texting but was the speech only product.

you get electrical survey/certs when you bought the house?

only had r28.

looked at the relays to see if there blackened ?

doing alarms is a greater pain in the ass....

do you want to decorate a room then reinstate a 25yr old keypad ?

or.... just leave wire poking out of wall, until you've plastered, painted or wallpaper & then fit something decent ?
