Sorry I thought you said you were working in the alarm industry

Maybe work more days rather an just Wednesdays

Dont mention te words Risco when you call Search here using your postcode https://www.nsi.org.uk/company-finder/

Hi and welcome I work four days a week including Wednesdays but we dont fit Pyronix or Hik if we can help it

Thats an intruder alarm not a CCTV system

I dont think you can bend alli tubing much the only bends I can find are these https://www.securitywarehouse.co.uk/catalog/cctv-c-1/cctv-ancillaries-c-1_3/secware-aluminium-tubing-12mm-single-elbow-p-6071.html 45 degrees is a bit of a strange angle for running alli tubing though its a bit tight squeezing/pulling a cable through it too?

So many people think that cheap trumps quality, and sadly those that understand quality works out cheaper in the long run are a dying breed.

There are not many installers here that trust Pyronix to prop a door open so lots of us wont know if the fuses are monitored integral or glass. I assume that it the fuses were glass its the first thing you would have checked. By your answer we can assume that the fuses are not monitored. If its an integral fuse then you need to down power the system mains and battery so that the fuse can reset. Other than that who knows? Wiring into the zone circuit should not effect the output circuits. The next place to start is to disconnect all the sounders test them individually and then add them back on to the panel and test them.

Its a bit difficult to advise, if you,re brave you can remove the fuse in the spur to the right open the panel and dis the battery. But if there is an external sounder with a battery in it you may be opening a can of worms. That panel was installed pre bell timers so the external sounder could ring indefinitely. If your not so brave call an alarm company to decommission it properly or replace it with something suitable

who knows what the yellow and blue are for just connect the red and black up to 12VDC and see what happens if nothing happens add the yellow to the 0v if still nothing happens try the blue. I would say it must have come with instructions take a look at them

Mainly because most of us have been in this industry long enough to remember Pyronix in the early days and wont trust Pyronix to prop a door open, but thats a historic thing rather than anything they produce nowadays. They were really poor then they purchased Castle 2003 ish and they improved a little. But I dont think any of the main contributors here touch Pyronix mainly because how poor the original products were to begin with. Most installers like to stick with the one brand if they can, as training engineers on hundreds of other panels out there is a PITA all brands have their own way of doing things and programming and even wording making it a nightmare for new engineers just starting out.

what does it say on the terminals/ in the instructions most here dont/wont fit Pyronix

Arf is that you?

Id agree with that. When i was walking around the college with my daughter i was impressed on how colleges were trying to attract the right students, for all the right reasons. The same for my son. I was not so impressed withe the universities, it did seem all about the money rather than all about what you could learn, some worse than others selling the gym, bar and fun facilities, over the education. Chi unni reckoned if you did their music or drama degree you could be guaranteed a job on the cruise ships, woopee doo

Hi Brian Welcome, any branded sounder will be suitable replacements, but the terminology used between brands is normally different. The paragon is an old panel and was made before Pyronix bought out Castle and so its likely the older panels will have different terminology then later products

We cant give out engineer manuals however obsolete the panel is

Theres clones of everything in China they even clone there own stuff Dahua and Hik clones available, the strange thing is most Chinese dont buy the clones, the tat gets sold though.

If thats you whats your real name what have you done, not sure what I have to do

If I didnt know better, Id say he raided our skip when we moved out of Worthing to Storrington. It broke my heart seeing all that new in boxes shite going in the skip. But you cant hold onto everything just in case, and in any case Id much rather supply a customer a current product. I could of gone the ebay route I suppose but time and energy

There are people out there that swear by Risco, but I cant help feeling thats because its cheap, and many installers wont touch it. Its not the easiest to work on and its not got the best reliability reputation. We would not take one over either, but there are people that will just make sure that they install them rather than just want to take it over for the sake of it.

Schools letting kids identify as what they like in fear of discrimination, thats a tricky one. Someones bound to find a way to bend the rules in their favor on that one. Example: Schools in Brighton would not let boys wear shorts because its not part of the uniform so the boys in protest wore skirts. The school could not send them home because it is part of the uniform and they cannot discriminate on sex. My take, I can see no valid reason as to why shorts could not be added as part of the uniform, if the school dictated the type, colour, length etc in line with their uniform colours. I can see that letting kids identify as whatever they want could end in tears but I dont have an answer for it.

it wont hurt for you to try the code you have and the default code before yu get up the ladder. If it works, you can use it to stop the internal noise when you start working on the external sounder
