  1. How strange, to satisfy curiosity In this situation I would swap the detector with one from a different room just to make sure, as you know the others don't false alarm. i would also look at why the suppressor is there and how bad is the ac leakage. when it was on the node was it the first zone?
  2. So you have changed the detector? you have swapped the cores used inside the cable? You have swapped the zone used ie from main panel to node. and you still get the same result? is it going Alarm or is it Tamper when it activates? i would strongly suggest it is environmental or could be a cable issue still, when you swapped cores around how did you do it? swap Alarm pair for tamper pair? Or did you have an 8 core there?
  3. Have you tried swapping one with another to see if the fault moves to the other room? only the guts not the whole thing. i had these in my old house for years and never had any problems.
  4. Have you powered the whole system down and back up? i have done this before to clear network errors.sounds like you may have some interference or a ****** panel, have you tested for induced AC and checked the cable insulation? please note though, not all TS 2500 come back to life from a full power down lucky for me, mine are immortal
  5. Good luck with your complaint Maria, Do remember we are not all bad :-)
  6. I don't install Risco kit, so can't help you very much here, but I'm just wondering what the protocol is for a detector that has "lost" comms with the main panel? is it possible that the detectors were polling more often for a reply from the main panel hence depleting whatever charge was left in the batteries? again I'm no expert on Risco so wondering what the other engineers think but I would say the batteries must have been low in the first instance, we change batteries each year on RF kit to maintain consistency of the system.
  7. I will call them again in the morning mate, it isn't on their online service yet
  8. I see the App available now,contacted ADI to order a smart com and they didn't know what I was talking about :-(
  9. I drive a titanium x Mondeo estate but to be fair she's putting out 185bhp with 380nm torque, well it is when it isn't in limp mode
  10. Yeah nice, I had the 200 sx at 18. cost me £2400 a year, and that was 15 years ago Worth every penny lol The Mazda 323 Turbo hatch was a monster too
  11. I can think of worse cars, the old 90's gti version was a good motor, kick the ass of the "nova" :-)
  12. I was thinking more "team America" durka durka jihad jihad
  13. Anyone heard much about the Portishead shooting? My mother lives 2 miles from there and the talk around is that the car had explosives on board which is why the guy was shot multiple times through the windscreen.
  14. You running an old version of config tool?
  15. The newer company is probably just the "lid" not the guts. i wouldn't entertain changing the battery as the charging circuit could be knackered ect ect. Far cheaper long term to change the whole unit. In my honest opinion, if you don't know how to do the tests to check the battery then I wouldn't bother touching it at all.
  16. That's very interesting and slightly worrying also!
  17. Lol, it's cool though. More to live for, different perspective I guess
  18. I think you/Norm are spot on there. my youngest (3) loves what I do and is in to the van/tools ladders ect, hoping he still wants to hang out and work with his dad after he leaves school, that would be really cool
  19. The lure of money and finacial security is a hard thing to pass up, luckily for me I've grown up in a county that pays **** money anyway so the temptation isn't so great lol
  20. Proper grafter then, fair play. the money should be good when your working away. Was talking to a woman I know today who said her bloke is going from working in Germany to Kuwait for a year because the money is so good, she said it's great because the mortgage will be paid off soon, thing is though he sees his two kids a few weeks a year and don't do f all with them, been working away about 5 years now. I feel sorry for him if he thinks that's living.
  21. Bet he cleared the mortage quick with that! is it still lucrative on the rigs?
  22. Depends on what you're trying to keep out? 20kg kids or 130 kg meatheads? to be honest you can still get through most of them if the door flexes enough. my choice would depend on the inhabitants
  23. At least we know now moving forward, thanks for your honesty and commitment to getting some answers. like I said mine works great but I will be more cautious on bigger/harsher environments for now until you find a solution.
