goncall

possibly an old pressure mat hence the joints when system was upgraded ,cable seems in good condition considering the age not rough at all was normal in those days

Ademco something

When used with an old racal panel,quite common back in the day

old racal didnt they use to have a strange 2 wire thing pos alarm and neg tamper

The co seems to be doing things by the book tbf there replaced the panel etc they have offered maybe gsm or red sec on radio for no extra not sure why the phone bills would be excessive as there's no need for op/cl etc and if keyholder only no need for 24hr test maybe the signals are being aborted via the arc

More Shaz and Tracey

I've got fingers in a couple of pies..

I do like fitting it back to the wall,makes me feel like an engineer

I just fit them then wait for the engineers to break them...

I just fix things

There's fitters and there's engineers ..........

Just connect a wire from gnd on the expander to gnd on the panel that will fix it..

Presuming a line fault that won't reset he might of meant only a single wire coming in on line either a leg or b leg dis

Depends on the device are they mr501 or mr901 501 bases can cause problems a 901 base won't

if you've changed ion to hpo you will have to change programming in consys or you will get id faults, also any faulty device on the loop can cause low and high id faults on other devices, a faulty mcp causing id faults is common only way to prove is to discon one device at a time and link the loop thru and check the levels unless you have a shorting device which speeds up the process its a pain of a fault to trace

You should have bought a snooper instead of a dash cam mate,

dont start that again

probably needs a trade split thread

I was talking takeovers,you say you default panel and reprog,fine if a 2 bed semi but a large commercial with no paperwork you've lost 3yrs maintenance money just putting it back to the way it was

of course you do,why crash and reprog back to the way it was

do you have a list of other co's engineer codes? most do

thats the correct way to do it,it could be a 2 zone panel or it could be a 200 zone panel,its not about the ability to crash and reprog or the cost

if customer owned equip,default to a code they want and walk away,its their problem after that

by those who do it day in id imagine..

im too busy looking for id chips than pointing at metal birds
