  1. The fact that it’s so simple and he was doing one after the other probably, he was doing a Galaxy when working with me and was well pleased.
  2. Last time I spoke to an ADT guy about it was at least 3 years ago, he said he was putting loads in and hated them, he seemed to think they are popular but I’m not sure. one of the National boys on here will probably have a good idea on them....
  3. Some old piece of cheap French **** that ADT were banging in iirc?
  4. The Chinese will get a big surprise when they realise that “the dogging car park in Brighton” is not an online marketplace for purchasing culinary ingredients.
  5. Sounds like a hash job. Maybe the panel was moved at some point, and they jointed the minimum number of cables to move it.
  6. As above. halfway point and use your meter, before I do anything I look for external devices, eg sounder, call points are my first target. with only 16 shouldn’t take too long even if you looked at them all. had to find one on a 120 loop once, took about 6 hours, mixture of old MI and botched in 4 cores ect, real treat it was, traced it to an adjacent private building, he just got a new dog who was chewing an old cable in the porch!!! the bloke thought it was funny... until he got the bill
  7. Nope, went Texe route on them, works really well. Finding Disco Biscuits is the hard bit ;-)
  8. Old school Menvier, I would guess one of the most common I/A Systems ever here. awesome in its day but good luck finding parts. Datadiffusion may buy it off you though ;-) wonder if Jimbo has some in the basement of security Warehouse?
  9. Some manuals are more helpful left in the van!. think the best I’ve used was when the M series menvier kit came out, very detailed manual, but even then they left some options out, I remember “entry =FE” was not in the attributes menu in the manual amongst other things, overall very good though
  10. It can’t go on net 1. rkp only iirc
  11. Net 1 is rkp net 2 is nodes, rkp can go on net 2 off a node, and they are slow
  12. I’ve had a Fluke 179 multimeter for 9 years, still going now, one fuse replacement after a colleague borrowed. Awesome investment also got Fluke 1653 multi function tester. Worth the money
  13. You definately want to default the whole thing and start again, any local firm should be able to help and shouldn’t cost too much either. On the latter issue, best wishes for Monday.
  14. Similar story with Scantronic isn’t it?
  15. Same Multifunction tester multimeter sound meter every year
  16. If you carry on though you will just end up with every code combination possible :-)
  17. No chance. national takeovers are a ball ache
  18. Cheap and not very robust, has its place for me and that’s in DIY market. i won’t have them personally
  19. Rick ‘o’ Shea is great, if you are replacing a device then it’s a slight drag waiting but there’s always things to do, on a new install I’m normally doing paperwork whilst that is going on.
  20. I assume once you learnt it you gave it mesh time and it walk tests ok?
  21. I would suggest it’s faulty, is it a slimline contact or the big long one?
