You need a meter to measure what's going in,where's the other pair feeding,try dissing the blue yellow pair and see what happens,something's dragging the line down diss the pair and if it's still the same chances are it's the panel

Just pull one of the legs off

What have you got plugged in the black socket
-
Just power it down and back up

Is the digi set up as dual reporting? Change it to single,put a dummy account in and telephone number,set fail to comm to 1 and number of rings to 20 restart panel and try again..

Yeah, but what's the likelyhood in real life? 1 in 100000 ? probably higher?
I've only recently started locking my home doors, my mother still leaves hers unlocked most of the day.
As above and I do on a few occasions wedge the patio door open on hot days for the dog to wander in and out while im at work,he is a killer jack russell mind..

it does give early warning of contact failure
Works well if signalled on a dedicated high/low res channel as long as the customer calls an engineer before setting the system

so the advantage is a high resistance fault when closed wouldn't generate a intruder signal unless it got to "tamper values"
I assume "high resistance" is x% of the circuits resistance values so 1k & 1k is quite narrow but at 4k7 & 4k7 its more forgiving ?
Chances are it will go to open value before it reaches tamper value

what does "high resistance" do when the system is set ?
Activates warning op's and ultimately an intruder if goes high enough

On a related note, has anyone ever been requested to do "integrity testing" following first fix?
I know it is something that data people do but we don't tend to do it and really only figure it out once we start terminating the equipment - which i guess, could be too late.
What are common practices when it comes to testing cables?
100v ir test if it's for alarm cables 500v for fire cables and as for charging don't listen to yeti you'd get laughed at and kicked off site,its standard practice

id say its too much of a commute..but I'm sure Pete will take your offer seriously
I've set the bar far higher tbh..

Fortunately Gaz I have managers that know stuff so I dont have to, I cant program alarm panels anymore either (well I say I cant I would have to read the manual first)
You need new managers..

oh yeah I remember now.
I cant think why I thought they were the same its probably because we sent engineers to do them both at the same time
You should know the difference,it's a bit like **** and elbow..

The basics should be,ecs or safety passport depending on which sites you want to get on,ipaf 1b and 3 a minimum add as many as you can afford,some form of asbestos training working at height training,then add the rest like confined space,manufacturers trianing,fia courses etc you will be up against people who have them all if you want a decent rate

Its cherry pickers as well but if you have a Pasma you have some working at height cover, I dont think there is an actual course we do ours in house
Eh!!!

Not sure what 9651 was referring too regards hv was this sia code,could of been ht but hv if in log is actually cv (control voltage) either induced or an attempt to disable the zone

A final thing however, when purchasing a new Panel box (not pcb as I wouldn’t know where to buy one)
I can't wait for this one,my life is on hold waiting for the answer,

Started in the early 70s doing alarms, lots of tube and wire frames!! painted bell boxes, self recorded tapes for auto dialers, dry batteries even in the SAB, some great panels at that time all key operated, no codes, so read with interest when others talk about the old Shorrok panels and mod 88 units, G Lowe, A&G, AES, Castle, Racel, GGS, to name a few.
Used to have loads of those on systems connected to a map6 they were still going strong well into the early 2000's

The ghost of arf returns

As pse says 99% of sites ask for it as do most factories/manufacturing plants etc it also goes on the Rams what each engineer holds,ecs ipfa etc

Result!
sounds like the old man did a proper job with it.
He did but when it goes Pete tong all the valves are getting locked open, fck the heating costs

Nice work Gaz, would have been a few bob to get someone in. I had 3 heating engineers look at my Baxi it was only 5 years old but was working intermittently , one didn’t want to do it, one didn’t know what was wrong and the last wanted to replace the pcb.
It's a basic boiler tbf she has had heating co,s look at it before,but my old man installed it and as his forte was bms it's all the zone valves ,flow/return and circ pumps that pull hot water from different areas to heat another area all controlled by a panel he built and they haven't a clue how it works they just want to diss it all and start again,my old mam says there's a drawing he made before he passed on but no one can find it,one day I might suss out how it all works
i had a problem with my old Apollo boiler again rang around they didn't want to know as its 25 yr old managed to find some Young British Gas lad who works on them all the time and it turned out it was a pilot direction tip onto the thermocouple replaced for around £10

Exactly, and I'm sure we all do the same, I certainly do.
Me too,I changed a thermocouple on my mams old Mexico boiler part readily available from any trade counter no questions

Days of trade only are disappearing fast PJ and most trade counters will deal with anyone with a fist full of cash.
Same as electrical/plumbing/builders places anyone can buy anything they want this game is no different

Diss,disconnect,diss the blue and yellow below the socket,and check the extender is set to voice rather than data
