Are you sure? Why would Red remove there NSI logo from the site if NSI hadn't already told them off

They haven't so far. Why would they now?

Sue the web designer then?

Yep, see. Maybe NSI have warned them already?

It seems they have removed the NSI logo from there website after this thread started. It still doesn't make up for all the site signs kicking about with NSI logo on.

Drove past again today. What do we think, misleading?

Definitely Here's a couple of old links that may answer your question. http://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/40-nacossssaib/ http://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/2269-nacoss-ssaib/

Well as a rough guide wireless contacts are more than double the size in all directions (x, y and z) of an old wired surface contact. Anytime www.texe.com/uk :cough: Both are not very common so possibly hard to find installers? As I said earlier different companies like different manufacturers, some less common than others Differently higher end kit than Enforcer or Powermax tho. Exactly. You wouldn't want to force a company to fit a non-supported product or for you to be there guinea pig site. Yep I agree. Another plus is it's all English. Some of us in the trade have been round and watched the stuff get built.

No definitely not. It's nice to have someone asking sensible honest questions here. Normally it's "I broke my alarm help me fix it now for nothing"...anyway... --- Obviously 2 way wireless is better than 1 way but the cost will be greater, you will be able to see this from the costs in the quotes. It all depends on the risk of the property. The main pro to the 2 way is the added security of knowing your signals have been received at the panel. Also faults will be displayed instantly whereas on a 1 way a fault may take several hours to appear depending on polling times etc. I think our resident JW put it best... If something important gets lost in the post you'll wish you had sent it recorded. Also not included in your OP is 2 way wireless mesh like the Texecom Ricochet range. This "mesh" means the sensors can talk to each other not just the panel. However, in smaller houses you could there is no benefit to this. Other pros are 2 way can benefit from greater battery life due to the panel being able to put sensors to sleep while disarmed and switch LED's on and off remotely. Not all 2 way panels will do this but it's possible so bear it in mind. The kit should be equally as reliable from a parts going faulty POV, some alarm companies prefer certain manufacturers over others. Personally I'd look at the Texecom 12-W, for example. As for size of the devices that's personal preference, have you not had a company round with a demo kit to see the devices in the flesh? I would want to see the property before quoting to assess the risk, it's ok to give an estimate over the phone but you could be over looking something. Very sensible.

IIRC on an ELite 24 the default programming for Pin 3 is Intruder Alarm.

Digicom Output 3 if you don't fancy doing any programming.

Well If you have followed the wiring instructions correctly I don't see how there is a problem. I can only guess the bells triggered due to loosing Hold-Off voltage or incorrect wiring. I would read the instructions again carefully and follow them exactly. Engineer mode on the panel will not stop the bells triggering, there is a special way to trigger engineer mode on Texecom bells, this is explained in the manual.

Spotted one of there signs in Neston, Chesire with the NSI logo on and thought I'd do some snooping. Displaying the old NSI logo on website. However, company doesn't appear on NSI Approved Companies list. Love the disclaimer.... http://www.redcctv.co.uk/ts-cs.aspx
