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.

700l Replace battery in Securit 700L home security system
sixwheeledbeast replied to JamesC's topic in Guest Forum
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..

Ah the good old days, diagnosing intermittent issues up a pole in the rain, measuring for peak and sync on cameras that actually had pots to adjust them.

Scantronic 9448+ Entry Exit Zone and External Bell
sixwheeledbeast replied to Bradynew's topic in Control Panels (Public)
Bell delay for E/E timeout? For some reason called "Dual Ply" delay on Scanny. -
No, paper programming manuals do not come with any commercial grade panel. You maybe lucky and get a CD with the controls. Also the manual is revised regularly due to updates in both hardware and software, so your old manual while helpful may not cover everything.

How secure is the stuff you're connecting to the www?

This video covers the issue with our "need" for IoT going forward, which is mostly consumer led. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLiE0Nr8VOE A must watch for anyone interested in apps for there home devices. Apply the topic of cars and planes from the video to your security systems and consider the consequences, both from a installer and user perspective. -

Had issues with Pyronix in the past for example. Would be down to the electronics.

As I said above some bells don't like it, depends on the bell.
-
Running another cable would always be the preferred option. Alternatively wireless, not having a strobe connected or commoning the strobe and bell trig. Latter can have issues with some boxes. I certainly wouldn't install something without a tamper, also consider that four core maybe very old (you may not know how its routed) if you loose a core in the future your back to square one.

Fire Alarm Class B: Texecom Premier Elite?
sixwheeledbeast replied to bdo21's topic in Regulations & Standards
So "Grade B" Mains interlinked would be Grade D, so not good enough for building control due to being over 200m2. You need to speak to a fire alarm installer, they would be able to liaise with building control about the Grade and Category if required. -
You can't do engineer functions from the user menu

I would guess you are in the user menu trying to do engineer functions.
