They wont give you it but they should default it for you for a charge of course.

Its probably set up as final set, which means when the entry time starts the alarm will arm when it sees the door open then close. It depends on if the engineer progged a delay on how long after the door is closed it arms. Assuming that the hall is off and that there are no other detectors on your entry route it should arm if the door is open or closed so long as you open and close it on your way out. Is the hall detector looking towards stairs?

Hi do you have a detector on the exit route in the hallway?

They stopped making 2.6 ah in 1998 the battery should be changed evey 4 years so at the very least the battery has been pulling the charging circuit down for the last 18 years I bet the transformer hums like an electric chair in full killing mode. its not beyond repairable, but the cost to repair outweighs the cost to replace, I stopped fixing TV's in 1997 for that very reason. Especially if you factor in that you wont be able to buy the components for something that old as components are now much smaller. But on the bright side you have saved 20x £50 per annum in service visits and you haven t been burgled it may be that you have had your moneys worth from it.

Frankie and Bennies urggh never tell them its your birthday unless you like Cliff Richard. I was in there for a quiet meal one evening with the missus unfortunately I picked a day that about 20 people had their birthday and they all decided to go to F&B to celebrate. Every 5 fooking minutes they played congratulations and came out with a cake with a sparkler in it. I wouldnt mind but cliff was played much louder than the ambient music which made me jump every fooking time it came on. Foods not that great for the money either

Do they still give those out, I remember as a lad of 17 collecting about 5 of those within a couple of days, the copper behind the counter got the right knock with me because he had to fill a form out for each of them, he asked why I didn't tell the coppers that stopped me after the first time that I already had a producer. Never mind the fact that I had been stopped on 5 separate occasions within 48 hours, for no other reason than being young in charge of a motor vehicle. I hoped they would get the message but it never worked I still got stopped all the fooking time.

LOL!

Your getting insuring the vehicle, and insuring the driver mixed up Whoever is driving is responsible, Im insured to drive any car with the owners permission, if I have an accident in someone else's then the responsibility is mine. My chap would still have my permission if he had his own insurance.

He got a quote £220 not sure how long that was for though

Yeah that too

I had an engineer ask me if he can still use his van (its his only transport) I allow them to use it for private milage so long as they pay for their fuel. I checked with the insurer and was told the vehicle can only be used for business use and if the employee in question is working, and he is clearly not if furloughed. Normally I can get away with private useage as all engineers are on call and could be called at anytime and so have to take their van with them wherever they go. But whilst on furlough its not possible to say this. Also his Liability insurance wont be valid for you, so if you fall off your ladder you're fecked, if you drop your drill from up the ladder on someones head your fecked. So not only is you're boss breaking the law and both you and him can be done for fraud, you're not insured, to drive, have an accident, or cause an accident.

In your shoes Id buy a grade 1 surface contact and remove the reed from that

Well I suppose if the repairing of the alarm doesnt work, you can donate it to the Black Country Museum

LOL ! James's patch

Agreed it was pos return, and pos trigger iirc

Any external sounder will do, the Bentley is quite old so before replacing the external sounder I would check that its not a fault with the panel bell output

Fermax also have a universal handset although I couldnt say if that handset is on the compatibility list but the fermax is on Entryphones https://www.entryphone.co.uk/pdf/phones.pdf

Just trying to cheer him up a bit

Hi and welcome back I bit the bullet 18 years ago now, dont worry youll soon get used to the stress once you hit the bottle, then there are some really good charities out there like the SAMS, and the weekly Alcoholic anonymous meetings really help. Just try to keep in mind that suicide is not really the answer (I find if I keep telling myself that I almost start to believe it).

I think its his grammar

I think he moved in about 4yrs not he had the alarm installed about 4 yrs

LOL! I new it worked with Blink but I was unable to get it to work with Dahua, Im pleased with the work around

Ive just added my Dahua CCTV to the alexa show using the imou app. Alexa Who's at the front door?

Also check that all handsets are seated correctly, feedback is often caused if someone hasnt replaced their handset properly
