    I have just seen my first AX Pro alarm and I'm really not a fan   the user interface is horrible and I'm sure it has some untrustworthy software 

     

    It worse than ajax

    But looks better than orisec right?

    wow that bad. I dont think any pro installer will use it yet, but was surprised how ajax did with a self cert.

    I think any equipment sold to not meet the requirement it claims should be removed and all certificates and insurance revoked

    Looks as certified as any other panel no?

    IMO anyone you doesnt program lock (engineer lock isnt the right word)their config will have an issue and so will their insurer.

    However the programming is the IP of the programmer. The equipment etc belongs to whoever purchased it

     

    Great , so lock all panels and no one can prove who locked it and how the programming was done last or by who

     

    Seeing as hkc doesn't have a back door , unless you know of one (barring being connected to securecom and know your remote code not exactly a back door tho)

    Its a shame but the original programmer/co keeps the liability. Its something I want to change because it should be the incoming co/person. Unfortunately it isnt. Panels that allow code defaults are a liability. However i know how it looks but check your policy because you arnt fully insured they chase the one that is. If thats you oops

    I don't get this

     

    Your incoming and previous company is liable?

    Many thanks for the prompt reply, we are upgrading the system but cant do it until the new year due to ongoing work commitments and so just trying to get a working system for the chap.

    How many zones in use? Just wondering, as even if you change engineer code flaff around when you can change the panel in less time and find faults easier with new panel 

     

     

    Orisec Engineer code stopped working

    If you ordered it from contact orisec and they will send you a shipping label and a replacement for free   and tbh if you are using the in panel receiver don't expect more than 5m range without a external antenna 

    Dude do orisec sell to general public then without account ?

    Do orisec know you undo their whole trade and direct only? I don't think they class themselves as amazon. 

    Hkc now allow sale to public right ?

    Orisec Engineer code stopped working

    I've been adding bits to an Orisec system, however the 4-digit engineer code has stopped showing up the engineer menu.  I know it's the right code because it recognises the 4-digits, but makes an error beep on the last digit and doesn't open up the menu - any ideas?  back working on it tomorrow

    Did you change the code?

    Power cycle it?

    Pyronix Enforcer - Silent Alarm Help Please?

    in !!..DIY Installers..!!

    Hi,

     

    I wonder if you can help.

     

    A little info first maybe. I used to work for an alarm company many, many years ago. Old wired systems.

     

    I have installed two of the old Pyronix systems, wired. One in my house, one for my Daughter.

     

    Since then, I have installed 3 Enforcer systems, V11. One to replace my old Wired Pyronix, one for my Daughter and one in my holiday home. This is where my question come in, if anyone could help please?.

     

    I have fitted a Pyrinox External MC Wireless Magnetic contact to my pedestrian access gate.

     

    I wanted to know if and how, I could program the input as a silent alarm. That is, so that it will not trigger the main Enforcer alarm, instead, sending a HU alert to the HomeControl2 app.

     

    The reason for this is so I can check when the Poolman/gardner comes onto the property. Also if anyone kicks the lock to get in (squatters).

    IMG-0592.jpg

    On hkc you can what's called a technical zone , 

     

    I use this on gates to send a signal to the app each time the gate is operated

     

    Perhaps something like that is on the enforcer?

    Honeywell Galaxy G2-20 RF Jam Error

    in !!..DIY Installers..!!

    Hi,

     

    8 years ago I installed a Honeywell Galaxy G2-20 (including a RIO and a couple of wireless PIRs) and have enjoyed faultless service from it until recently.  I now regularly (3 or 4 times a day) get an RF Jam error.

     

    Any ideas what the cause could be and what I can do about it?  I've read the manual and other than configuring the 'stop set' to allow you to set the alarm with the fault condition unacknowledged I can't see any settings which might help

     

    Thanks in advance,

    Binney

    Have you installed anything else recently?

     

    Anything wireless ?

     

    You could try moving the rf module 

     

     

    However what is the exact jam error?

    Hi Al-yeti, 

     

    Thanks for the reply, 
    I can't see any text on the keypad, the virtual keypad or the web interface, so I don't which key presses will get me to the menu to update the file.

    If someone can give me a list of key presses to try and load the file from the SD card, I can give it a try and hope that works.


    something like this:

    From the web

    start with the spanner icon,
    then choose the 4th option down,
    then the 3rd option

    etc.


    or

    from the keypad

    enter installer code

    enter user code

    click the tick

    press the down arrow twice

    press the right arrow

    etc.

     

    Y can't you mimic key presses using virtual keypad 

    Swapping texecom AAA1000 PIR FOR Capture AKB-0001

    I have purchased 4 new ‘Capture P15 AKB-0001’ PIRs to swap out the old none cat friendly texecom AAA1000s.

    I naively thought that it would be a simple task. I made a note of what wires went into which terminal and did a like for like swap with the PIRs.

    After I powered the alarm back up, I got the blue light from the PIR when it detected movement but when I set the alarm it didn’t sense a thing.

     

    OLD PIR WIRING (left to right)

    0V- green

    12V+ white

    Alarm red

    Alarm black

    Tamper yellow

    Tamper blue

     

    NEW CAPTURE P15 (L to R)

     

    0V- green

    12V+ white

    alarm A red

    alarm B black

    tamper C yellow

    tamper D blue

     

    Can anyone tell me where I’m going wrong, I would be most grateful.

     

    thanks in advance

    Picture of new wired pir , showing inside please 

     

    And put one old pir back and see if it triggers , maybe it never worked

    Hi I have just installed an Eaton i-onG2SM but in doing the firmware upgrade I think I manged to delete the language file so I just get black screens. 

    From the web interface it looks like I can still login and get to every menu.

    Can someone out there help me with how to recover the file or list what sequence of clicks through the icons and menus, I need to to press to blindly reinstall the file. 
    If it helps I can install an SD card with just the English language file.

    Thank you

    If you can login on web , y can't you do it via web? Or mimic?

    WiFi controlled Window Shock on Pyronix Enforcer not working now after I changed it to new window. Engineer says it needs 'Recalibrating with the panel'?

    Hi all

     

    Bit of a long story this so please bear with me and all will become clear.  So, last year we moved into a new house that needed a lot of work doing.  In that work I needed new security cams and a new burglar alarm.  I wanted the job doing right by an established company with good reviews, so I put an add on rated people.  Out of all the companies available I chose a company to carry out the works for me.  I paid over £4000 to which I am not moaning or complaining about.  As it stands today I have an app on my phone named ProControl+ which serves me well and shows the 6 cameras looking down on my house.  No problem here.  Now, the problems are with the Alarm System...Remember, when I said the house needed lots of work doing? It needed 12 new windows and doors in total and at the time I literally couldn't afford to have them all replaced at the time.  My plan was that I would replace them as I was going along.  So, all good up to now...It comes to 6 months ago and I had 3 windows replaced.  On those windows were the large, White shock sensors fitted by the company above.  So, me being me, I literally unscrewed them from each window and when the new windows were fitted I screwed them back on.  However, the alarm panel had sensed that I had removed the sensors and wouldn't set.  So, I had no option but to call the company to ask how I could get round this.  Their words were 'It's not something you can do.  You need the WifI sensors recalibrating with the panel because you've moved the distance of them'.  I told them I hadn't altered the distance etc.  Simply, unscrewed the sensors and screwed them back on to the new windows in the same position.  Either way, they wouldn't help me and so we had no choice but to pay them to come out and 'recalibrate' the shockers.  The whole thing took 10 minutes and it was expensive.  So, we move on and as I speak I am now changing more windows that have these new shocks on.  Again, yesterday, I removed 1 shock.  Screwed it back on to the new window but again last night the system throws up an error.  It says I can set system with existing faults (or something similar) which I did but this morning it appears it hadn't set.  So, again I contacted the alarm installers this morning and lo and behold he is on holiday for 3 weeks now.  When he gets back he will 'try to fit me in', so I guess you know what that means!  The problem is made worse that the company (which is a guy and his son) is very far away.  I know I was stupid to employ such a company so far away but I never envisaged needing (costly) assistance every time I changed a window or door.  So, here's my problem and my thoughts, which I hope you will agree with...

    I now have an alarm system that I have no choice but to call out the original installers every time I change a contact.  The cost for them to travel to me is silly and I don't think it's fair.  There is no way in the world I would have ever agreed to an arrangement where I had to pay someone to change a contact every time I changed a window.  I'm not asking for them to do anything for free but it's ridiculous that they can't get out to me for so long (my fault for appointing a company so far away) and when they do I have to pay for a job I can easilly do myself.

    So, what do I want to do? I want to know how to simply 'recalibrate' these shock sensors with my panel.  I know there's a few videos on youtube regarding adding new sensors (an learning etc) but I don't want to add new sensors.  I just want to recalibrate the existing sensors every time I change a window.  Any help guys?

    Not sure if it has anything to do with it but last year I used to pay a fee (so that when the alarm went off it pinged on my Iphone) but that doesn't happen anymore either.

    I am 99% sure my system is a pyronix (possibly enforcer) and I DO have the engineer code and obviously my own log in.

    Thanks in advance guys

    Just realised you say you have engineer code, makes sense why your low priority because you will dabble but have to pay anyone to come to you 

     

    Then as above read instructions and reset it , btw don't default it just reset the panel lol
