  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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!
  4. 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!
  5. 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)
  6. 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?
  7. Is there anything that says shutters have to be contacted? IE would two dual techs covering the area inside the shutter not be a better, easier, less faffing around solution?
  8. Good kit!

  11. +++++ 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.

    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.

    That's a 12 core dissappearing through the architrave, and a 6 core carrying on to the SAB (up the corner of a wall no less)

    Foamed up good

    Ripped it off the back of a shop. Thought it was a dummy!
  22. Do you know the make/model of the bell box? Do you have a multi meter to test voltages with? Try taking the wire out of 12v+ in the panel; is the sound still "screechy"?

    Rough shutter contact

    Too scared to trim the hose down a bit? SSAIB aswell...
