It is connected to a 24 hour circuit, so no you can't isolate it; purposely. Just because the boiler is "off" that doesn't stop you being poisoned BTW.

CO detector! Are you sure your detector isn't doing it's job?

4499 Christmas Day, 3am? Kids peeping out the window watching Santa cursing and smashing a C Type with a hammer.

A white one in the wild. There was also a GSM version in the same case, had a battery on top. No idea if any of them are about still, all swapped for something else here.

Swapping the controls would have been cheaper?

Same here with the Vantage VRD's

No legislation it all depends on your companies T&C's that the customer is signed up to. I would agree that best to give them the options of charge to factory default the system for the outgoing or they can send you the panel. Also some companies contract of employment are worded so you cannot poach existing customers, maybe worth looking into that.

We have discussed this before IIRC. RainX is not designed for plastic surfaces.

So I take it you haven't found the fault and it is still an issue?

If you are an engineer you will have to go through the vetting process for the trade side of the forum.

I think you'll find they are separate sites. So new/old isn't exactly correct. Hi BTW

Personally I favour Optex

Optex or Takex. Come in all varieties

Not sure what you mean by "Class 2", I certainly don't think linking the bell tamper out is a good idea. This is the only protection from attack the external components have. As above link the bell and strobe terminals together at the bell, if you don't wish to use extra features like engineer H/O etc. Better still rewire it, if it's old four core it could have been in for years and may fail in the near future. Once a core goes down your rewiring it anyway.

That's a blow, comparing a Quantum to cheap Chinese stuff. While I would agree you could replace blown capacitors yourself, I doubt this is the case here. Also security kit is generally classed as non-user serviceable, plus not many alarm engineers would be capable of a repair like that. The best protocol here would be to send it back or replace. I would be interested if the OP found what the issues was in the end.

Sorry but that wasn't exactly clear. The original question was which G2 system, the thread has now turned into how to become an approved company? Did I miss something? Best to contact NSI or SSAIB and continue from there, I believe there will be a period of assessments, yes.

It's not as simple as "becoming certified". http://www.nsi.org.uk/our-services/our-schemes/electronic-security/

There's lots of Grade 2 specified kit, I would suggest a search engine. However, just because you install Grade 2 kit this doesn't classify a Grade 2 system.

I have a Draytek at home. Very pleased with it, only small gripe is the WLAN signal distance is a bit shorter than my previous Netgear. In fairness to Netgear the Superhub has lots of features stripped out by VM firmware. Best to stick Superhub's into "Modem mode" then run your own router.

Your incorrect on many points there. Never presume anything.

Where have you been! This must have been about 10 years ago? Bolton Albert Halls Anyone getting tickets for the latest one off Peter Kay gig?

Budget = Netgear Decent = Draytek

I find a huge amount of Seagates that fail, especially in DVR's. In fact I think I can say every disk failure I have seen has been a Seagate. Had a <12 month old Ademco DVR with a Seagate start rattling last week. Remember the floods a while back and HDD prices rocketed, only Seagate where producing disks at the time.
