  1. According to RSS, the panel is V6.84 if that helps with its age ?

     

    Latest then. you might have to update your ethermet firmware

     

    To unlock the panel and get all the features then panel needs the firmware flashing to a none ADT firmware

    "..no they do trace it and prosecute.." So it can be traced then and logically one would assume through a number on the pcb (post 10 above)

     

    They dont need a number from the panel, the fact that it has ADT set as the banner text by default proves its theirs.

  2.  

    Mostly using RSS for the setup - but via the ext rs232 as i cant get the ethernet connected yet.

     

    ADT have their own firmware, on some 144 and 520s the spi key didnt work and other options where disabled, if you have an old ethernet module the firmware in the panel might not support it as its to old.

     

    True , there is the odd one used , most marked new when they pop up

    They got more things to worry about than all that equipment on eBay

     

    ADT manchester have an office looking through Ebay and social media

  3. I cant seem to escape engineer mode as I have two line faults I cant clear or disable.

     Line Fail (1) is the fault and I think Line Fail (4) is the other one.

     

    Also (on my classic it used to say something like Manager Reset Required) now its saying "Call Alarm Co. Quote Code xxxxx".

     

    I think you might need to get hold of a manual as the 520 is a different panel than a classic, and if you cant clear the above which is simple programming then you wont get very far as thats very basic.

  4. If your trade plug your laptop in speak to cop who will tell you what software to download so they can set it up for you.

     

    Ports 80, 7050

     

    BT hub general dont show them in the network map, look for the MAC code instead

  5. How do you definitely and without doubt know that it is a panel fault... anybody ? DWdave have you checked the panel (see earlier post) ?

     

    Could be due to the fact that he has checked the fuse's and the panel doesn't stay on when the mains is removed.

     

    Not a panel fault more the smart rio inside the 500

  6. I think you have badly designed your system, using  rios to reduce runs only makes sense and saves money if you have 8 circuits that are 100m away from the panel. 

     

    A GD48 would have give you 16zones onboard and 4 rios and the software on the panel is more suited to a home then a 500/520 which are aimed more at high security installations that need other things.

  7. Yeah I'm all over the Wd's and CIE's. Sometimes I like to throw in some ABC's and mix it with a little 123.

     

    But .... I am planning to mount the extension speaker downstairs - probably the furthest point from the panel, and right above a PA trigger.

     

    If you talking standards, the extension speaker must be heard though out the entry / exit route
