I have known people claim against their energy company in the past, but these are usually systems that have been regularly maintained by a professional alarm company. That can give a service history of the battery etc. I would guess what has happened is that the battery went flat and the system lost its memory, a little unusual because systems normally have a non volatile memory so it could have been spiked. The bit that doesnt add up is why did the code not default? Unless you're using the factory set code .

Theye are cheap nowadays get a LED one much more economical

do you have a multi meter Joel?

It may be that your over complicating this as it sounds to me like the bulb blew and took out the trip. Of course I could be wrong.The Racall units used to have low voltage pirs that tripped the box and that then switched a relay and switched the light on, but the switch on the box over rides the pir and allows you to switch on the lights without triggering the low voltage pir. So if you have the box on over ride then you should be supplying 240 to the stand alone security light and it should work as a stand alone unit.

I got on a bus the other day, theyve changed since I was a kid

Very, just under the higher tax bracket, makes me wonder wtf I am not selling carrots and stuff

Funny you mention that I popped into my local Aldi today and they had signs everywhere You're not that far from us if you need sponsoring Id be happy to help

It depends on the panel not the detector its the panel instructions you need to read not the detectors.The panel is looking for a resistance coming back and it depends on which panel as to what resistance

Does it matter? cutting the wire would set the alarm off its a DIY system at the end of the day.

Grandfather rights still apply, our engineers are still obtaining ECS without formal qualifications.

LOL an alarm went of on our industrial estate and we were the only people interested, when we saw it wasnt one of ours we went back indoors.

And you're a water servant or p taker

back on topic I'm ltd

That would be your Chimp getting excited, personally I find it quite funny.

No I tink dats de way de yout talk inda smoke geez innit

For a one off its cheaper to buy a new dvr as the kit will only reset the recorder if you can prove you own it. We always put an installer user and password on the recorders when we install them, it makes it easier when we come to service it, if the main user is not there, we dont have to make lots of phone calls to find out what the pw is, and often the customer forgets the pw so we can come and reset it for them, sometimes an employee leaves and he was the only one that new the pw so can we come and reset it. It just makes sooo much sense to have an installer password in the recorder.

Something like this would be better, its mains https://www.screwfix.com/p/nightwatcher-nw760b-16w-hd-cctv-wi-fi-camera-led-light-pir-black-8gb/4519T?kpid=4519T&ds_rl=1249481&ds_rl=1245250&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIia337LLS2AIVzLftCh10VAveEAQYAyABEgIP-PD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds&dclid=CMn19_Oy0tgCFeynUQodMuoPGA

Risco will also tell you that a battery in a wireless detector will last up to 3 years I have never known them last more than 18 months. I would never put a 7Ah battery in a panel with a 1amp PSU yep it will charge it, yep the battery will last far longer than a smaller one in a power cut, but those figures do not state the current needed to charge a flat 7Ah battery

You wouldnt really need the bells and whistles to ring for 12 hrs now would you

ie 200mA x 10 = 2Ah
