  1. I would never take chipboard up, it never goes back down properly. You can get most of the cables under it with some careful planning/drilling (watch for pipes). Either that or next to the gripper as above. Most would go wireless these days.
  2. Yes, the keypads will work fine. The board is the same size too, IIRC.
  3. The 9651 can't be expanded. You'll have to change the board to a 9751, which can be expanded to 24 zones.
  4. As above, sounds like the output isn't programmed correctly. Needs to be set to engineer access.
  5. Unless I'm mistaken, I think the OP may be talking about the old redcare reset style ie hard wired from communicator to panel. The Texecom panels have a dedicated remote reset terminal adjacent to the digicom outputs which would be wired through the aux relay on the dualcom/emizon. Not sure on the Galaxy, perhaps there's a zone type for it.
  6. FSL uses resistors instead of closed loops to signal back to the control panel. This means you can signal alarm, tamper, fault and anti mask over a single pair of wires per detector (powered devices still need a pair for power of course). EG use red and black for power on both sensors, use blue and yellow for the FSL loop on the first detector and join the green and white through to the second detector.
  7. Those things are a ball ache since they changed the wiring to fly leads. What a stupid idea that was!
  8. For the sake of a few quid I'd say stick a PIR on the landing too. The earlier you can detect an intruder the better IMO. Also, if you're using smoke/heats connected to your intruder alarm, make sure you fit an internal sounder with a decent volume level on the landing to wake anybody sleeping in the bedrooms if there's a fire.
  9. Be careful you don't exceed the current rating of the output/PSU if you already have a sounder connected. You're limited to 500mA from the bell output.
  10. It's a risky job sometimes and I'm sure we've all done something we probably shouldn't have to get a job done, because it was easier or quicker or cheaper, but I heard something the other day that made me think. Someone in the trade using their own domestic, aluminium steps on a site. He fell off them, broke two ribs and fractured his skull. He was off on statutory sick pay until the HSE investigated and found out about his unauthorised step ladders, upon which he was promptly dismissed for unsafe working practice leading to a serious injury at work!
  11. No worries. To be fair, Alpha Alarms up here used to use the green as pos and the white as neg for some odd reason. Still catches me out on occasion when swapping out a detector!
  12. Not sure if you were jesting but an hour for an hour after 12am, ie go out on call at 1am, get back home at 3am, report into work at 11am (presuming you start at 9 of course)
  13. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm sure last time I fitted an EV-105, the neg is on the outside with the pos next to it (the link is the negative control line for the LED) No rest time?
  14. Good kit!

  18. +++++ is the master user code, not the engineer code. As it's a Chubb panel, the engineer code will default to the Pin of the Day for a certain date I believe. Also, and I may be wrong, I think that you need to flash the software to get rid of the Pin of the Day feature. It's not something you can disable in the engineer menus. Can't really go into any detail in the public forums though, you need to apply for trade access so you can get into the trade part of the site.
  19. What if it is?

    TS2200 nodes only had 5 zones on them. No zones on the panel as you say, just 6 networks (bit like a cut down 2500 to be honest)

    We've got 2, but obviously they don't work too well It's improved since this photo was taken.

    Just upgraded a job that was running a TS-2200 with 7 nodes and 3 keypads. Just awaiting the dualcom...
