    It's all dependent on the risk, it's unlikely that IP is an attack point for a domestic system at the moment. While I agree security should be at it's best it's likely any burglar will storm in smash stuff to bits and take what they want before you even know what's happened. I would never recommend setting a system via an app but it's what customers want and that's why it's provided as an option.

    This only affects systems with the COM-IP or COM-WiFi and therefore ONLY customers who use the Texecom app. There is an Encrypted UDL option but it is not compulsory. I would advise not using any app to set your alarm system or alternatively use a VPN connection if you wish to use the app.

    Yep but not for any customers, I would remove and docket any DK attributes found on a maintenance. Found a one way radio garage PIR on double knock a few weeks back, wouldn't operate correctly as PIR would sleep after one knock. Seen contacts on DK too, again all down to engineers being properly trained.

    I don't agree any panel can be programmed incorrectly or non-conforming. IMO equipment should be as flexible as possible. Installers should know the regs and more importantly the companies should teach the regs to those installers.

    If your unsure how to go about that I suggest you have an engineer look at it. The battery will need replacing not recharging the panel is suppose to charge it.
  6. sixwheeledbeast
    Completely remove all power to the unit, isolating mains supply and battery.

    Assumed logged in via twitface or something?

    Surely it makes sense that if under warranty you contact the supplier first? For any item not just alarms.

    I doubt any professional installer has used or can give much advise on cheap kits like that. Beams I have used have adjustment for this sort of thing but I would expect them to detect any break in the beam especially at walking pace otherwise not FFP IMO.

    Bell on Confirm is on Sys Config option 26?
  11. sixwheeledbeast
    You can do bells on confirmed but it's not default.
  12. sixwheeledbeast
    That would be my guess, Bell not in the same Area as the Zone. Also PIR's should be Auto, DT's are Hybrid.
  13. sixwheeledbeast
    Slight frequency difference I believed.

    RX40 is Grade 2, would expect EX35 to be too but would have to check.
  18. sixwheeledbeast
    This is what I am thinking. Tried marking it as a trusted site with IE too?
  19. sixwheeledbeast
    If you have tried different locations as well then possibly faulty. Doesn't seem like expander is receiving data

    Power panel down, re-terminate connections in network terminals, power up panel, confirm devices.
  21. sixwheeledbeast
    Have you done Confirm Devices?
  22. sixwheeledbeast
    Two pole mounts?
  23. sixwheeledbeast
    Two short "clicks" indicating walk test mode but no zones are active?
  24. sixwheeledbeast
    There will be nothing left in 3 years, if it's anything like Nokia.
  25. sixwheeledbeast
    I would be putting both in LC and SCB modes to reduce load on the panel. Without checking with a multimeter you have no way of knowing the system load and if the standby battery is adequate.
