  1. That is what's suppose to happen...
  2. All to do with the system current. You will find one external sounder and all your devices will be pushing the limit of the standby time, depending on the battery. If using two EWD's I would normally but both in SCB, Low Current modes. Elite has replaced the Premier, yes.
  3. Most of our new signalling systems lately have been keys only.
  4. If that circuit is not Omit Allowed (this is possible) it has not been programmed correctly initially. IIRC to omit you enter your code followed by X this will then ask you if you want to Omit a Zone number.
  5. Yes But if you have been pressing buttons in there you could have put the RFX into programming mode. This may stop the tamper from clearing. Not a good idea to be playing in there when your not sure what you are doing. You may have deleted any number of your wireless devices from the RFX. You could have just omitted Zone 11 from the keypad and still had a working system, I believe you will now need an engineer.
  6. http://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/forum/268-uk-security-installers-by-regional-police-force/ http://www.nsi.org.uk/directory/ https://ssaib.org/security-provider-search/ If you have changed the batteries before with no issues, then I doubt it will be on engineer reset then. Can you clarify exactly what you tried to do, because it doesn't sound like you are trying to omit it like I suggested.

  8. It's a shock sensor so I assume you have tried rattling the windows and then checking which number? Omit it using the instructions from the user manual. This is an engineering function but that probably isn't the way to go about this. Yes, if there is an engineer reset for tamper you may need and engineer to reset it before you can use the system again. If you have company looking after it you should check with them for doing anything. It sounds like a hybrid system maybe a 9751? Anyway if the system hasn't been serviced for a while I suggest you get this done and have them check out the device in question. It could be the battery, it could be faulty, bird strikes, water ingress, a number of issues really but a service on the system is the first step IMO.
  9. A bit vague but you have to watch the film to understand the reference.
  10. This is a skill new engineers are loosing with wireless becoming more popular. It depends what the constructions is, if possible I would drill up through the lintel and aim for the void above, this leaves no holes to fill. Alternatively, Plan B, useful for drylined walls is as norm, leaving a couple of holes to fill or cover with something. Then Plan C would be chase and fill, I have an old 4.5mm HSS bit I use for that, 8 core fits in this slot very snug. I have a long 6mm drill for "Plan B" that slots through the holes in the galv edging strip, if you aim right.
  11. Hang on we are comparing two different things here. Signalling and response to signalling are completely different. A dialler can be equally susceptible to response issues as a monitored path.

  13. Useful if ripped off the wall and dunked in a nearby water butt...
  14. Replace the cable. R8's don't have LCD keypads either, if it was a Premier a smartkey could be an option.
  15. That's correct, WD's are not supposed to be mounted next to CIE for that reason.
  16. A sounder makes a noise, a speaker mimics the tones of the panel for different conditions (Fire, Intruder, Entry, Chime, etc)
  17. Sounds good, please do.
  18. Static IP or a decent router with DDNS (personally Draytek) are the best options. DDNS will be disabled in AP mode as it is no longer a router.
  19. Yep, I agree with all of your points. Including the parking but that's a whole different thread. Most 20 MPH zones that have been put in by Council's are unenforceable. Even if a small few are installed correctly the police have no interest in policing them and there have been reports of this from many areas. LA's all over the country have wasted millions of pounds of our money on pointless road furniture. What they also don't realise is they are harming road safety in the process.
  20. May as well bump this old thread instead of starting a new one. More evidence of why council's shouldn't be allowed to work on the roads. Plenty more where that came from too, these are just obvious ones from today's drive.
  21. Yep, I have heard of people damaging there LCD TV's from messing about in the engineers menu.
  22. I have split this thread as it is a slightly different topic even though related. Companies should not share engineer's codes with customers, for liability reasons as above. They can't guarantee that you aren't going to program things out, for example. I believed part of the standards state the customer should not be able to access the engineers menus. As for a "code reset" you are defeating the point of a reset if you bypass this.
  23. Yes for both panels. Best to get both systems looked at by a local company as above. Our list of installers is available here they are sorted by police force areas.
  24. I think you will find all the instructions in the sensor manual. Both resistors are built in to the sensor if you wire it correctly and set the jumpers right.
