    You shouldn't feel tied to ACE. If you own the panel a one off charge and you can switch. The engineers code is a simple way to provide some security to them and there customers but also importantly yourself. They need to know that only there engineers can program the system, to provide you with the best service possible. It's the same for most alarm companies if you switched.

    Codes in general are low tech, but why reinvent the wheel? Anything better would have a higher price point.

    You get what you pay for, there's much better kit out there, you just have to sell it. I believe only one of the LED's in the cluster flash.

    A Strobe would flash quickly =>1Hz. I bet if you work out the cost of Visonic Batteries the separate flasher would pay for itself after a few years. Better to wire the bell if possible IMO.
  5. sixwheeledbeast
    Best to use the actual equipment to field test IMO.

    So what about when you need to send a faulty panel back, your voiding any warranty when you start hacking at the piezo. There's expander modules and wireless sounders available look at them just add them to the bill. They're cheap wireless kits so I wouldn't expect them to have all the features of wired kit built in.

    spur off a rose?

    How big? Are we talking PMR's or bigger?

    Sounds like the jumper pins are unavailable on that model. I showing battery fault that would be the control panel battery having low voltage or faulty. I wouldn't worry about the jumper and find out if the battery is duff.

    Rattle tins and newspaper...?

    Faulty battery, system overloaded or possibly faulty panel? You can't test a battery or charging circuit without a load on it.

    There's wireless stuff that does that but I wouldn't bother. The existing cabling wouldn't support video.

    Suppose that one way to get people off the phone... That is Reset Digi, I assume. If you have no chime zones then it maybe be something odd. Take a backup with Wintex and default the panel, try from there to rule out hardware issue.

    Zone programmed as Chime. Press the Chime button it will go away.
  17. sixwheeledbeast
    Exactly, completely agree.

    Consider yourself lucky, it's normally rock hard toffee pennies.

    Protecting a 350k house with a 200 quid alarm, baffles me...

    Would only detect you on the way in. As I say, Follow zones are for that sort of thing.
  21. sixwheeledbeast
    Er, Perimeter then. Or Perim-Follow depending on the PIR's location.
  22. sixwheeledbeast
    I don't see why not.
  23. sixwheeledbeast
    You thinking of a move...?
  24. sixwheeledbeast
    Depending on the PowerMax model there are walk-through zones to do that. Inter-Follow is one of them. I don't think I would want the landing device to point down the stairs TBH, I would have a sensor on the landing and one in the hall.
  25. sixwheeledbeast
    You should use a static IP. It must be set in the control panel. UDL/Digi Options.
