  1. As I said I dont think Scotland will be able to Police it and so it will be pretty much the same as the UK, ie a fatal fire is investigated and its found that the homeowner did not have interlinked smoke detectors. Mind you if the fatality is the homeowner the gov cant exactly fine them
  2. https://www.gov.scot/news/changes-to-fire-safety-laws/ Basically BS5839 Part 6 LD which is installed into new builds and anything that requires building control. New Scottish law says that has to be installed into all existing buildings. Feck knows how they think they are going to Police that though. Colin I do understand that you wife doesnt like the idea of wireless, there are several theories that wireless is the root of all evil. However, the wireless smoke detectors are not transmitting wireless signals all the time, they only transmit when they are activated. So in other words when you have a fire in the hallway it transmits to the landing so both detectors activate. When there are no fires there is no wireless signal so nothing to worry about, I hope this helps
  3. They must of overheard you as theyve put their price up to 69p now
  4. The sites where we have Paxton are Mifare, I hadnt realised they were multi format as standard on the other readers. I thought that was an option
  5. If the chicklets work then I can sell you some that work with Paxton, but I always thought Paxton used Hitag 2 locked with a pword Net 2 or Switch 2?
  6. Its only heads we need to add, they turned a bog into a office.
  7. Anyone know anything about these? We inherited a panel and we need to add some detectors. they are XP95 so not a problem, the tech support is in Portugal though.
  8. L'amiral Nelson dort dans mon jardin
  9. Tamper is a 24 hour circuit designed to let you know if someone is tampering with the alarm. If a cable is damaged, the bell is damaged, detectors or door contacts are damaged the alarm will go off. When you say its going off does it stop on its own accord or do you have to enter your code to stop the noise?
  10. No you are correct
  11. Problem is all the proper companies in the BN7 area are busy as, we keep putting our prices up and still getting more acceptances than we can deal with. Im booked up till December now. OP James was referring to an alarm panel not landlines, analogue landlines will be obsolete by 2025 and so the choices are IP signaling and GSM. But as James says using signaling without a control panel though in theory will work its not a sensible way to go about it.
  12. Soak test is used for testing a circuit, for example a detector activates and you see no environmental reasons for the activation, you can put the circuit on soak. It will log activations but it wont alarm. So when you return check the log if it hasnt activated you can take it off soak
  13. Disconnect batteries move keypad nearer the panel reconnect batteries
  14. Its the same as the rest of the wireless kit "Developed by our in-house R&D team, the detector has exceptional RF range allowing it to be positioned in the trickiest of locations" https://www.hkcsecurity.com/Other/hkcsecurityCOM/Public Downloads/Ireland/Intrusion - Wireless/RF-PIR-DT.pdf
  15. If you have neither then its probably not worth taking over
  16. There are no rules on NVM locking its down to personal preference.
  17. Not if he was able to set it afterwards. OP You could try stretching the spring a little see if that fixes it, if it doesnt the switch is knackered
  18. I have a garage which although wireless isnt keyless, its also alarmed. My key never leaves my pocket which means its not that close to the outside world, Ive seen the vids. My worry is going on holiday and parking it at the hotel, Ive been mostly lucky with my hotel rooms so far though high enough to be out of reach, but still able to see the carpark from the room. The fezza isnt keyless but it isnt that practical for anything other than a weekend away
  19. HKC have a wireless Dualtech now its much better for hostile environments like sheds and garages
  20. Tamper means exactly that the lid has come off something, or if hwired the cable may be damaged hkc will normally verbally tell you the fault "tamper zone 3"
