  1. Not been online for a LONG time, but i'm still here  :teehee:

     

    This thread got me thinking of some galv conduit I installed for some lighting in a new room being created.  The alarm engineer decided to use my conduit as a convenient route.  I only spotted it when returning to site months later for different jobs!

  2. In that case you may as well take a feed straight from the battery (via a fuse obv.) and feck the relay off.I agree it is a pain, but they are mostly based on car parts so have these muppet proof features.I believe Eco mode measures the vehicle voltage and has a threshold to cut equipment off.The idea being you always have the capacity to start the vehicle, this is why switching the ign/engine on/off quickly doesn't work.On a Partner for example you can press the dark button to switch off the screen, which will keep the radio on 30 minutes longer.

    not on a combo it doesn't,I left ignition on to charge my phone yesterday while I pottered around the front garden,aa van here this morning as the battery was flat and it wouldn't start

  3. Around five years ago the student letting agency had us inspect and test this system, the landlord is well dodgy especially with regards to fire safety, he's a cnut.I suggested that the electric water storage tank rooms on each floor should have detection in them.Due to the landlord being very slow to pay, i told to do one.Then 4 years later the student firm had a shake up with the fire officer, anyhow they get me to service this system again, device labels are out, then noticed he had some bodge it sparks wanna-be's in, they had installed around 6 extra heads, that had shifted device names along at different points in the building.On my last 6 monthly visit, only one device label remained, and that was wrong.Ive been told you can't erase the device labels by mistake, either someone went into engineering and cleared them or maybe plugged lappy in with wrong software on it.Took me 4 hours to do 60 labels, never come across such a ball ache way of doing it, but most other addressable systems i work on, i have the software - so to do 1000 would have made me cry, lol.All codes changed now, hope that helps keeping the tw@ts out.

    I'm no expert on them but I think you can lose them if you try a loop recover,I've never tried it tho and as long as you do a loop back up for any changes seems to be fine touch wood,great panels when you just let them be lol

  4. Funny enough i have been working on one these the last two weeks, had to re do the device list, what a ball ache through the front end.

    Thats a major flaw in gents allocate a loop with a duff device and everything is out of sync we took over a system with 4 networked panels and about 1000 devices all had wrong text or no text at all,re done through front end proper ball ache lol

  5. Wow you have been arround since the beginning of time and we all thought Arf was the old git

    bit harsh Id prefer cvnt to arf...tho it's laughable I can just see the new meeting of the new order,right lads we've been made aware of a new craze sweeping the land,people are stealing contacts from front doors....didnt someone pipe up and say errr excuse me,fills you full of hope!!!!!

  6. it will have been a load of geordie ******** who came down in the works van....

    lol,tho removing magnets isn't new,it's happened since the beginning of time,maybe it's being reported more,I always told customers to report it as criminal damage straight away and inform the police that it was an attempt to disable the system and that the polis should keep a closer eye on the site that evening as the chances are they will be back,but I'd say many didnt bother informing them
