  1. Basically the old frequencies are more subsebtle to types of interference, hence why better to update , not just alarms mind you , when they shifted the frequencies for what they are used for quite a few things were updated by manufacturers and it just depends on how much of a priority it became for an individual or organisation to follow suit and update
  2. 8core for everything , except where you need more then a "bigger" one ie more cores
  3. When you say picks up the fob , how do you know it's picked up?
  4. You must be old man, I got rid my stuff a a couple of years ago, was all good stuff though
  5. Out of curiosity, did your alarm used to chime? As above its an old panel and its totally incorrect to say that not much will go wrong This is a good time to update it , May work out cheaper as you have cables in place and May work out Give your front door sensors a slap while your at it...... I learnt that from someone here, or get a hole cutter and I explain what to with that later
  6. You said you have small cable access, run two if you can , or a "bigger cable" ideally an 8core for the bell and "bigger cable" for the sensors upstairs , try and buy cable made by cqr , probably other manufacturers to, I think that is what you should start with, if the cables don't get in then you can opt for buying different equipment
  7. Skoda back in the day, sold lots in Russia and Cuba , did you get to travel?
  8. Come on.... Means the word should be sensored. Ok in the small space you have, you could run two 8cores up to serve the sensors and bellbox upstairs And wireless elsewhere , or depending on how close panel is to front door sometimes you can get an 8core to the front door , especially if it's in the understair cupboard
  9. Problem now is there's no manufacturing , electronics has changed , so course demand dropped , few years back they pushed ict to be the way forward, recently they back tracked Overall what happen in many trades "skills shortage" New generation are not trained the same way
  10. Use a digital meter easier than having to listen...... It's simple case of getting your wiring right and resistors in the correct place If you want to do a course do a basic course , do one in very basic electronics it will help allot with fault finding imo
  11. Virtual doesn't always work
  12. Depends on terminal blocks you use, and if you set you wire strippers correctly I always use side cutters havnt need wire strippers for years
  13. What happens if you leave it blank?
  14. Can you wire according to drawing in previous post? Do many of you put shocks on front doors? I avoid it
  15. Setting in the server system?
  16. They were hot man, I was sweating lol , still I ordeeed some 8core and stuff while eating , 8 core good stuff man to every point!
