Fitted plenty of these before them in the day. Isn't modern technology great, I recall running through rolls of fax paper a week in spam, now it can be deleted automatically.

Approved. Cheers for putting it in the Downloads Section. Possibly but back then there was no nerdy alarm geek forum to ask on either.

Dualcom GPRS G2 on pins? If Police where called then ARC did there job.

Where is this log information from? Unless the system is sending extended formats you wouldn't see additional sensors activating on the ARC report anyway. From the diagram I would assume a lot of the system is on the entry route. Would help to see the specification of the system to make an opinion, signalling type and grade would also be on the specification.

I would make the customer aware that the system is obsolete on each visit or service but if the system is fully operational its up to them. If not fully operational its time to speak to the customer about options. Would only condemn something if it is no longer fit for purpose or unsafe and for that reason I would take the system out of service there and then not condemn it.

From my experience of these types of events, it would be up to the insurance company to investigate and compile a report. The insurance or normally a loss adjuster will compile evidence to determine want happened and why no response was made by the police or ARC. If the panel has been powered down and stored since the break in then the system log would be intact and could be interrogated with master user or engineer access. This is something you need to liaise with the original maintainer and insurance about before proceeding any further.

You are best to factory default and start the programming again if you didn't take a backup before flashing. You have to get the panel software to generate the UID which wasn't available on pre SmartCom panels.

It's very unlikely to be the panel, even if one is I certainly wouldn't expect to have multiple, I don't recall ever having a faulty Veritas panel. You need to work on further diagnoses on each panel, these faults are not "untraceable" even with a basic panel with minimal log you can work it out. Considering the timing of your post I am thinking detection equipment and/or positioning of it.

I assume you followed all the details here? https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/40034-forum-trade-application/

If your taking over a BS system then maintain the system to BS? Good luck swapping them out if they are all on the same four core cable. Seen this in a few houses

Aritech GS Inertia? Not sure if they have been Graded for EN, part of GE UTC now. https://www.securitywarehouse.co.uk/catalog/intruder-alarm-c-36/vibration-detectors-c-36_56/aritech-inertia-shock-sensor-white-p-2144.html gs610_gs611_prd.pdf

RX40 all day

Get some quotes for an upgrade?

Engineer code can be locked which would make the controls scrap if engineer code cannot be accessed. Defaulting a system that is locked will leave you with a non operating system without engineer access. Tamper event would be internals only unless armed.

Surely a small POE switch on the working cable is the first solution?

Depends if powering the device midspan or endspan, also will only be upto 100BASE. Also wattage of the camera needs to be considered.

It's alright throwing a new battery in but did you check the charging rate, flexible connections, bell hold off, sensors operation etc etc. Much more to an engineer service than a new battery. A standard SLA battery has a life expectancy of 4-5 years. There are not instructions because it expected to be done by a competent person, there are mains voltages in there remember.

So trigger the GJD kit manually and work out what is at fault?

Zones, Areas and Part sets are all different things

Disconnect the Bell Trig while your messing about would be a good idea. Yes "Auto Yes" can do that for Standard Users.

Helps when you read the manual.

You giggle, but I imagine it would sell on fleabay. Easy for a DIYer to swap colour for colour to get a system working again.

Pretty handy, mine lives in my tub of One Strike.

I found specific testers much easier to use on site have a BBV and a Ranger.

Resoldering the leads on the lens plug as they where and different pinout. ..and which muppet bought CS lenses for these C cameras..
