  1. But if your bell fuse is blown your bell should have sounded for 20 mins when it blew
  2. Looks the best location fo both rooms if its wireless you could swap it with another detector if the fault follows the detector then replace it, if the fault reoccurs in the lounge then its something environmental that your missing, I see nothing in that plan (unless you missed out some helium balloons from a recent party) that would cause fa's
  3. If he cut through the tamper wire before blowing the fuse then it should have
  4. QFA Dual-techs are designed for specific environments, and usually have a cheaper pir in them. People think because of the name and they cost more they are better, but in a small room like lounge they are worse than a cheap pir. Upping the pulse count only hides the problem and lowers your security. You need to find what causing it. If the detector is old change it for a quad element like an Optex RX
  5. How did you stop it from sounding in the first place if you chopped the keypad wires? If it never sounded my best guess would be its probably not the keypad fuse, its fried the CPU
  6. They are renamed as Eaton Im no expert on their panels, but I think the Ion is their offering
  7. You dont have to have wireless the panels are hybrid so you have hard wired and you can add on wireless stuff as you see the need I wasnt going to say anything but the 95 was horrid
  8. Most modern day systems have id circuits, allowing you to have 5 detectors wired in parallel but they all have their own id
  9. I always liked the 9600 and the 9800, but the modern day equivalent is 100 times better. All panels have quicksets for full and part settings, you can have a smart-phone ap that not only lets you know when its activated it lets you know when your keyholder has disarmed it, you can also arm disarm it from your phone, and control other wireless output such as your gates.
  10. I used to install these but, its so long since Ive seen one Ive forgotten. I was only saying to James the other day I used to know the G500 inside out, I couldnt even tell you how to change the code nowadays. But ask me anything on the HKC panel or Guardpoint Pro, or Dahua CCTV, and I will find a way of charging you for the information.
  11. Im a big fan of Buck convertors and making my own PSU chargers, that way I know my current limitations and I can change them easily. I have several echo inputs and dots around the house and in most cases I use 12vdc PSU thats powering other stuff like LED lighting or Bluetooth amplifiers, then I use Buck convertors to drop the voltage for the 5v stuff. I have a ten amp PSU in the top garage thats powering Bluetooth in the Kitchen speakers VIA a Buck, Echo in the kitchen Via a Buck, 12v LED strip lights, and a 12v wireless receiver to switch stuff (like the lights and the speakers on and off) On the landing I have the droid pad, I have 12v dc powering a receiver and a buck , the receiver is on a timer progged by Sonoff and it switches the buck on and off so that the driod gets a couple of hours charge per day, the is another buck running off the same psu powering an input on the landing. I have voice control nearly everywhere I am in the house.Mostly powered by 12vdc and bucks
  12. Its not a good idea to split power especially from one of those double socket type chargers, they are not powerful enough to run three things safely, the link norm posted will deliver the current required.
  13. These cameras are being pushed, but if you watch the news they are in all the tube stations in China. Remember you have to go through the metal detector put your back through the Xray now they have thermal cameras to take out the hot people. I see the logic in it, stopping people with temperatures mixing with people without temperatures. The problem is not everyone who is positive has a temperature, some have no or very little symptoms. That said its better than no checks
  14. He means solder a link across all the tamper circuits/switches
  15. We are in Storrington West sussex but we are not the cheapest company, (we are not the most expensive either) it depends on what you want but we only supply quality kit which we install professionally. Not that we will be available for any installation works for some time as our books were full before lockdown, and we have work coming in still everyday. Oops you said no sales pitches, forget what I said
  16. Well you put an i in soldering and now you have to soldier on
  17. Oh yes, my college tutor made me sit a whole day soldering links onto a breadboard until I got it perfect. Before then I was always the first one to finish any project work he gave us, but mine never worked as my soldering was so rubbish. Now my soldering is higher than average, and everything I build works first time, if it doesnt I can be confident that its a faulty component
  18. I hadnt noticed the typo strange how your brain reads what it was supposed to say.
