hi all
i know its been a while seen i last posted anything regarding the problems i was having with the smartcoms. all is good now. i also found out what the problem was at the time. the two smartcoms had been in my stores for a while and had gone out of date in regards to software upgrade.
brought new smartcom and all was good.
You can't do firmware update?

Customer opening detector?

hi all
Had a few premier 64-w kits richochet signals drop out lately. funny thing, seems to be with the new capture PIR's and dualtechs apart from one which was a shock detector.
went back to one job on monday and replaced a P15-W PIR in the breakfast room due to tamper fault. the following morning the customer text me to say he had a tamper fault with the landing PIR. going back next week with laptop to log into the mesh and see whats happening. when logging in remotely, every device seems to communicate with the panel directly rather than bounce of each other, assuming the property is well adequate for signal top pass round freely. also whilst on site on monday, i checked richochet diagnostics and every device signal strength is between 93-100%.
i'm hoping its just a batch of dodgy PIR's fitted back in march.
whats your thoughts guys?
What's difference logging in remotely? And locally?
Assume mesh not needed if devices are close enough?

Nice one. This means it does work. I just expected it to be more instantaneous, when presenting the fob. Thank you.
for setting you have to wait , for unsetting its quicker , at least that's what i see, use to annoy customers on the galaxy

Yech. It's FW v6.10., I'd anddoes complain about line error. There is an option to disable line interface, also it has some serious bugs, or it's *****up or I'm maybe missing something howto sett it up. For example the keypad doesn't allow to enter the code to unset the system during the entry time, so when alarm kicks in, o ly then it accepts key entries.
Im just now in situation to find out if I can do firmware without buying any special software.
Basically you need to learn about the panel , bugs is another issue

Hi peaps,
On the initial set up when Honeywell Galaxy boots-up for the first time (after the reset), the options after choosing the language there is:
- 01 = ADT Com UK
- 02 = ADT Res UK
- 03/10 = ... (other countries)
I can't find anywhere what difference is between those two first ones? Does it sets the panel to be Grade 2 (01) and/or Grade 3 (02) compatible? Or what it does? And if doesn't relates to Grade, then is it even a option on Galaxy?
Tnx
Just pick any and delete the account details after so it isn't constantly trying to communicate somewhere
Although as GG said use non adt panel , or try
and update firmware

There are several GSM speech and text auto-diallers available. One model is the Menvier SD3, with 8 Trigger inputs and 4 outputs plus 10 alert contacts.
Can any user familiar with this device inform me whether one can configure a Trigger input (say PIR) to switch on an alarm (or siren, or light etc.) in addition to sending an alert?
Specs are here: https://bit.ly/3lUH5bJ
A similar auto-dialler is here: https://bit.ly/3iw1vWa with less inputs.
We're only interested in GSM devices, as landline isn't available. We've spent a month researching auto-diallers, and have been continually told by installers that they have to have utilise a copper landline, which these devices don't.
Well the PIR has alarm contacts so you could use them maybe with a relay just to trigger the input on any autodialer , there many cheaper devices which will do the just b for you on eBay
For example
They have different versions , but I would recommend a cheap monthly contract SIM , you will kill your credit quick otherwise

You can unlock the hkc ? Nah man lol

Hello!
Can anyone please tell me whether you can program the two functions of this sensor independently? e.g. can I setup so that a contact break trips the entry timer but the shock would trigger the alarm?
Thanks!
Unlikely
Would be interesting though , even with two independent sensors , the shock would suddenly be on access mode provided you can open the door with the shock activation, and or having an over zealous delivery driver come knocking on the door

Sorry mate, I was talking about locking the NVM to prevent defaulting rather than the engineer code. Totally agree with you on this though, engineer code can't be given out
What's difference ? Lol
Currently locking engineer is locking nvm

Surely the panel belongs to the client so you would need his approval to potentially refrain him from using it as he wishes ?
So what about your
Smart TV
Car
Washing machine
The list can go on , and sure you can get sometimes odd password turn up on internet but your talking about a"security" device
Simply put if the sub wants the eng code then he should know that you hold no responsibility for the system and nothing is warranteed you would have to be crazy to do it
If they already have code it's difficult to take it from them, but if you have contract of service to provide them , I wonder does it comply when you have a contract that sub has access to main settings?
Alarm monkeys? Does it matter to your efficacy insurance that you allow the sub to keep the engineer code ? Or I am looking at it the wrong way ?

Thanks… the issue is needing remote control (via app) to alert the user if the alarm is sounding.
Thanks also for pointing out the keypads have zones… difficulty is it’s only two, hence thinking about the expander.
So overall not much worth protecting in there anyway? I suppose texe app system is still free?

employ a competent alarm company to wire the site before you plaster
shock ain't great they will FA, radio shocks are worst
Hkc top quality on RF

Hi chaps, just wondering what are your views on locking panel ? I can't really see any reasons other than making the next installer's life difficult. I have had the case recently when the panel had to be replaced but the client was never consulted or told about it. Anyone know what the regs are ?
I lock every panel since I moved to hkc and every higher end texecom I find is also locked
It's all good best way
Also happy to release to an installer

I have a garage which although wireless isnt keyless, its also alarmed. My key never leaves my pocket which means its not that close to the outside world, Ive seen the vids. My worry is going on holiday and parking it at the hotel, Ive been mostly lucky with my hotel rooms so far though high enough to be out of reach, but still able to see the carpark from the room. The fezza isnt keyless but it isnt that practical for anything other than a weekend away
Give to Boyz who on are install they will look after it for you?

Hkc pirs are stable plus they don't trigger on just a slight movement , not sure how to describe it lol

Many have extra imoboliser fitted
Depends what car you have , as not all of them are worth stealing ....

Can I use a double knock option on the same zone to only trigger an alarm after several operations of the PIR?
Doesn't work well for fa

Hkc pir won't trigger as fast as normal standard pirs might be better option or the wireless as said above

So should it specify zone number, name, followed by type of alarm triggering event? I'll check if this actually does happen and report back. If it doesn't, does it mean I have detailed alarm event reporting turned off in the menu somewhere?
My alarm normally faults on the day everyone goes out (as we get to door) or heat is a problem , original wiring was loft and PSU can't take intense heat lol failed yesterday
Galaxy dimension was bullet proof PSU transformer

That's difficult, could be cable , Amy of the detectors , bell box , PSU fault and so on
Hence why calling an engineer is quicker , you may have it displayed on keypad what the fault is when it goes off
