He saw a picture once and thought that looks easy, Im starting a guarding company up next week how hard can that be send out a few blokes out to drive round with a flash light and reset a few alarms

The main reason nowadays is that there is no reason to use one. Its easy to get apprentices, sensible companies are proactive in that area. Recently a few big co's like Romec have let many engineers go, so the industry is awash with engineers and subbies, employers can can pick and choose, why would anyone pay for the privilege of employing an engineer. I look after the boys I have, and now my staff turnover is nothing what it was like 5 or 10 years ago.

Hi and welcome

It seems I am not as popular as you .... mind you they have to get past my Rottweiler... I mean my receptionist first

Well.....you could keep phoning with jobs that don't tick any of their boxes, that are on the other side of the country until finally they get fed up with you keep pestering them while they are trying to work and add you to the banned numbers on there phone. You did ask and that is the usual story with recruitment agencies

Ive been around since 2003 I could have killed someone and got a smaller sentence

saw this in PSI yesterday thought it may be inevitable they have not spent anywhere near as much at ifsec as they used to

It depends on the customer we.re a bit fussy who we take on, so quite happy to give people a price on the phone just to sort the wheat from the chavs

Please read the Do's and Don'ts marked in red if you cant be bothered with these rules we wont be bothered to vet you. Currently as a standard member you can only see/view about 50% of the forums in our community, the rest is only view-able upon being given Trade access which is not granted to every member that applies. We try to do the best to vet each new applicant to try and ensure they are actually in the trade, so firstly if you object to this please do not apply, secondly you should appreciate that this process takes time, so don't apply if your not prepared to wait (up to a few weeks sometimes) for approval. We vet active members 1st so get posting to jump the queue. You join on the understanding that what goes on in the trade forums stays in the trade forums, this is an area where views are freely expressed and the occasional heated debate may occur. We have a vast resource of equipment manuals, information and advice, which is entirely generated by our trade members efforts on an unpaid basis. Although we appreciate not everyone will have additional information to provide we still expect discussion and input or a regular basis from all trade members.

Hi and welcome

If it has been like this for a while it may have damaged the charging circuit, what is the voltage on the leads without the battery connected

Yes most bells will work or can be modified to work with this panel, they all come with wiring diagrams. I would suggest if it has not been serviced for a while that the CPU battery is replaced at the same time

And the bell and the keypad and the panel, but if the tamper return on the bell is linked out at the panel the bell can still tamper on self actuating but does not indicate at the RKP

Well ... if the tamper between the bell and the panel had been connected then the keypad would display the tamper fault. If the bell is sounding with no display at the keypad it could be a number of things. Most likely it will be the tamper switch on the bell, but it could be a problem with the wiring if the hold off has a intermittent connection, its unlikely to be the bell box battery or the panel battery.

Not according to Jim today I can forward his email to you if you like

only version 2 apparently and version 3 is out now My reply

Just had this today from an insurer As I understood it LPS1277 is a third party certification scheme not yet compulsory in the UK. We changed a failed RedCare for a WW1 with the same grade, and the insurer is being a pain now. I wouldn't mind, but its a sticky label printer not exactly high end value from robbery point of view the risk is low.

There are a few co's in the UK that think tampers are not important, and we have much stricter rules regards guns and baseball bats

test

Its the same as any other site, observe peoples privacy, and consider the purpose

No, you're not allowed to put them in the toilets in care homes either

I said it was sad what more do you want?
