  1. Im not familiar with ION so this is guesswork and what I can see on the pcb. Unless there is a global tamper I would say you need EOL on the circuits. LS would be loud speaker? The link going to TR would be tamper return I cant see the terminal marking where the link comes from but I would guess hold off pos and neg output 1 bell 2 strobe. Again all guesses, but Ive done this alarm installing sort of thing before a few times
  2. Those look double pole to me but your thumb is over the terminals in the picture so cant be sure. It looks like it was terminated by a 5 year old though, you shouldnt be able to see any strands of wire like that.
  3. If the panel is over 30 years old it will be using double pole tamper and alarm circuits rather than EOL so you can use any shock detector with separate tamper and intruder circuits
  4. Hi and welcome the site is not as busy as it once was, but the ones that continue to visit are a good bunch old school
  5. Obvs cant speak french then๐Ÿ˜‚
  6. Bonjour
  7. welcome to the forum please observe the rules before posting no links please
  8. This will mean they cant sideload the Police response malarkey on their adverts
  9. Your not allowed to talk about your employees like that anymore
  10. Are you sure its the panel battery? Where did you purchase the replacement battery, if its been sitting on a shelf for years it will be as flat as the one you replaced it with. How old was the original battery? Anything over four years could have been slowly killing the charging circuit? It could be a resettable fuse on the CPU so as Happy says restart the panel and powering up mains first followed by battery, if that doesnt fix it check the charging circuit next.
  11. At home I have super fast up and download speeds, at work its abismal there is fibre in the street to the residents up the road, but they wont bring it onto our estate because there is a printer with a rented line and a stonemason with a rented line both paying ยฃ600ppm upwards (I could share but I dont want them on our network) We currently have a 3 mobile router for internet only but its no good for the 3cx because its not got a fixed IP. I may look at starlink if fibre doesnt happen soon
  12. I think you are right, I vaguely remember seeing one in the 90's, I think it used DTMF to talk to the panel I doubt the 8136 is the same protocol
  13. If it hasnt been serviced in a while its probably battery, replacing the battery may fix it. However, a good battery would have lasted 8 hours, so your battery is pretty poor, and if your battery has been that bad for a while it would have degraded the charging circuit, which means that the charging circuit wont charge your new battery.
  14. Dont like dark mode but the buttons at the bottom are handy
  15. I just spat my tea across my office reading that LOL !
  16. There are several hard wired systems that provide free software with notifications. Bear in mind though none of them including Ring are 100% reliable. My doorbell occasionally forgets to let my phone know there is someone at the door even when Im on the same WiFi, it activates my home assistant everytime though
  17. Hi and welcome Just be aware this is a UK forum and tech varies from country to country.
  18. Hi Mark Welcome
  19. They claimed compliance, but its self certificated which is a bit like your local tyre garage claiming its Ferrari authorised
  20. Welcome to the forum, the UK security industry has been somewhat slow on IP based and smart integration stuff apart from maybe CCTV. It may have something to do with manufacturers being worried about opening systems up to further compromise. (If its not connected to the internet it cant be easily hacked) We are beginning to catch up now though.
  21. I had a similar conversation to this with somone that moved into a shop with our alarm. It was activating and they couldnt stop it. I offered to send someone they refused to pay for the call. They had a Verisure alarm and was saying we dont have this problem with their system, they didnt like it when I implied then nor will the burglar
  22. Thats how we would have to do it, there is no magic solution. You may find if it hasnt been serviced for a long time that the battery in the box is dead in which case you want need to annoy the neighbors
