[Flat Intercom System]

Hi all, I need to quote replace an existing knackered flat intercom system, 6 flats & limited cores at the intercom so thought of using a 2 wire system.

I've used Videx in the past and rated them but age old thing client doesn't always want to pay / wants options

I would need vandal resistant intercom & its audio (no video requirement)

Any one used any other good 2 wire gear?

If so where is a good place to purchase / price up?

 

Thanks In advance

Logan - in case you don't already know it a scantronic wireless system

I sympathise with you, I think we have all probably had a awkward bell box at some stage to contend with

[Replace outside alarm battery Odyssey 1E - Texecom]

Personally I would replace the unit, it will then be warrantied and save a lot of messing in the long run

[Concept 6 - RKP replacement?]

to be honest with the age of it the best thing you can do is upgrade the system.

 

[Spanner Light On - Accenta Alarm Keypad]

could also be engineer reset on tamper (I believe you can set it on this panel)

[Risco LightSYSTM2 - Won't Install -Showing Stars]

looks like it is asking you to maybe install (address) the keypad (not done much on this panel but the CPX / 595 & 600 there is an option to address them)

[Gardtec eurosec cpx remove radio zone]

in the engineers menu (under Programme zones) you need to turn off wireless ZEX (I think it is)

I’ve read policy and spoken to insurance i can maintain myself and as said before I do get minimal discount but something is better than nothing 

Good, better to have the conversation... IMHO Insurance companies love to take your money but are not so keen in giving it back

What do you mean by that  al-yeti

He's merely trying to protect you....

If your insurance specifies it is maintained by say a "nsi installer" for example then that what you need to do or change insurer for one that doesn't have the requirement (or inform the current insurer it is not maintained)

[Gardtec 595]

Hi, the 595 has Vo-com on it, if set up the panel will ring you and advise you what zones or zones have triggered in an alarm event.

As previously mentioned you cannot add an app to your phone to set or unset it, if you want this functionality you would need to upgrade your full alarm system

[Optima Alarm Upgrade]

You could use a Pyronix enforcer, it has two wired zone inputs (if you don't need to wire the external bell box) - note if you use the two wired inputs and want an external bell this would have to be wireless

It has wireless fobs / and or prox tokens & is fairly simple to use

 

Or another suggestion would be a texecom 12W (or similar) , fairly similar to the enforcer (probably better IMHO) it has at least 4 wired zones, it is wireless capable for expansion, has wireless fobs / prox tokens

 

Hope the above helps

Also ..I have noticed the Yale does not list a "shock sensor" as an accessory ...which is crazy.

they are missing a trick i think 

no shock there then

[Bell box tamper message]

Can you post a pic of the external bell? I can confirm its a Nova 2

[Bell box tamper message]

This sounds very typical of the Risco nova 2 bells.... I recall a number of years ago there was a batch of them,  the piezo would chirp in extreme temperatures (usually the cold), there was a fix but I would suggest you swap the bell.

[scuttle]

on this one its 4 buttons to default on power up unless the NVM is locked  (wont post for obvious reasons)

[Veritas R8 problem]

I assume you haven't installed this...?

 

If so may be worth try part setting it to see how the PIR on zone 2 behaves when set on part set, it may be set up as an entry and allow you sufficient time to unset the system

 

 

[yale wireless hsa 3000 series tamper problems]

not really used much HKC so would be Texecom for me

 

[Accenta Gen4 mini alarm panel installer]

If cost is not an issue I always install RCBO's as standard on any consumer unit swap out or adding additional circuit

Rapier?

you can get in trouble for doing things like that

 

[Anti drill tamper]

I recall removing a few older bells that have a wired lug attached to one of the rear bell box back plate screws (would be protection against the bell being ripped off the wall)

The wiring was linked to the tamper circuit.
