i-on 16 panel ac fault, help please
sixwheeledbeast replied to John Cobb's topic in Control Panels (Public)
"Panel AC Fault" would indicate that the alarm has no mains power. This could be at your mains board (consumer unit) or a fuse may have blown somewhere. -
You can bookmark any website to a devices main screen, it's like an app but a bookmark...

That's what a web browser is for... not everything in life needs an app. IPB uses viewport so you get a decent mobile UI automatically based on screen size.

I have no issue with how it is now. You have options on where you want to start from the Content feed.

22 million records exposed in mystery "db8151dd" breach
sixwheeledbeast replied to sixwheeledbeast's topic in Computing etc
I feel it's source is from some social platform like that or something like a calender app that links all these together e-mail, meetings with contact details etc. Even having separate email usernames only narrows it down so far. Don't think it's right to speculate TBH you can cause an unnecessary panic, people that are around these breaches have been trying to find the source for several months now, it's taken that long to add it all on to HIBP. The one piece of information to take away from these breaches is don't re-use passwords. -
22 million records exposed in mystery "db8151dd" breach
sixwheeledbeast replied to sixwheeledbeast's topic in Computing etc
Indeed, the source is still TBD too. I would say that UUID on the data will make it traceable to somewhere, it may transpire where and how it got leaked in the near future. -
In the trade section of the forum.

We do not allow sharing for defaulting or factory resetting procedures on the forum here. I understand this may make you specific questions difficult to answer. Normally if the engineers code is locked on a panel the controls will need replacing if one knows the engineers code. With the engineers code locked defaulting will not work correctly (you will not access engineers) although which bits are cleared I am not certain for Gardtec specifically.

Texecom Odyssey X-B Backlight Power
sixwheeledbeast replied to revinkevin's topic in !!..DIY Installers..!!
5-10mA or so is hardly an issue, I'd say maybe a few minutes of standby time. Without a logo you would say it's an auxiliary light, with a logo it's a sign and subject to planning permission unless the "sign" is fitted in an exempt area. -

Planning permission is only an issue with company logo tho, DIY unlikely to have that. It's not something all local authority are looking for either. -
Scantronic 9851 engineer mode help

Agreed but worth a shot first if you haven't moved the rooms about too much -
Texecom Odyssey X-B Backlight Power
sixwheeledbeast replied to revinkevin's topic in !!..DIY Installers..!!
There is no point in doing this. I am not a fan of the backlit bellbox they look pants and just provide unnecessary light pollution. Even so, doing what you suggest will just take away the point of the strobe effect catching peoples vision. The backlight on the Ody X is just a small PCB in the middle lid cover with two leads you just grab the voltage from wherever you want. If your adamant you want some control over your backlight wire the Red into +ve and join the black to a spare wire then control it however you want from a panel output. Texe has hundreds of output options. Alarm type output is any generic Alarm, this would give people an indication from outside if the Alarm had finished activating and then re-armed. The system shouldn't be giving this information to people outside the property. -
Pm360r unmonitored ADT clear trouble communication error
sixwheeledbeast replied to Lak's topic in !!..DIY Installers..!!
Your still going to need it servicing even if you don't have monitoring. The batteries will need replacing for a start. If ADT won't do maintenance only for whatever reason, it would be a good idea to find an installer that works with Visonic to take it over. Defaulting without knowing what your doing is asking for trouble, your going to have no alarm system. We also don't provide defaulting information or manuals here. -
Scantronic 9851 engineer mode help
sixwheeledbeast replied to StuBond's topic in Control Panels (Public)
If it's a 9851 it's likely to have a fair few devices on it, maybe some wireless. Have you seen any RFX modules (A5 sized white boxes)? I would say if it been well maintained chances are the previous owner will have used it and likely to be setup for (bed) B set of some description. You should consider enquiring about keeping an annual maintenance going with the installer. -
You maybe lucky and it's just a couple of sealed lead acid batteries of the same voltage and dimensions that you need to replace, for now.

Pm360r unmonitored ADT clear trouble communication error
sixwheeledbeast replied to Lak's topic in !!..DIY Installers..!!
Your unlikely able to fix it yourself. The comms module will need disabling in the engineers menu. You either need to get ADT to remove it or find an engineer that works on Visonic to remove it. Bear in mind support for ADT Visonic maybe limited when it comes to parts, ADT models are not compatible with standard Visonic if you need replacements. -
There wouldn't be anything stopping you insuring something twice no, insurance will just take your money like they do. I mean you can be insured for a vehicle your not entitled to drive, until you have a bump and they refuse to pay saying your not insured. That doesn't make it allowed by the insurance company, they don't want to be in a situation where there is an argument between second parties who sorts out the first party, so there will be a caveat for this. As I say that's how it was explained to me by a broker.

Trade vehicle insurance works differently it's covered under "road risk" which means they are covered for vehicles in there possession, it's like a temporary flexible policy. It's difficult to get road risk only as people where faking being in the automotive trade for it, so they normally ask for combined trade insurance (road risk + business) Hire companies have a similar scheme.
-
I suppose it's possible that your employer could go bandit and say you where not given permission to drive the vehicle therefore you would be liable unless you have some document stating otherwise. MOT, vehicle condition and vehicle tax I would say are drivers responsibility to make sure they are in order, insurance is more a split issue as you wouldn't be able to check without the policy documents which are likely for the fleet. Vehicle would technically be insured twice which isn't allowed AFAIK
-
There is also another thread more on your specific topic over in the trade forums, we discussed this situation. As an employee it would be the companies responsibility (director) to make sure your company vehicle is insured etc. It would be upto the T&Cs of the insurance company which you wouldn't know about being an employee. Valid point about PL insurance tho.
