4 hours to repair the system is mandatory requirement for approved systems. This isn't police response time.

A good few times, we are in the trade and are on call 24 hours for this type of thing. Could you get somebody to respond to your system within 4 hours 24/7 365 and repair it? https://www.nsi.org.uk/information-centre/information-for-businesses/police-policy 999 an alarm system in this way is against regulations no matter how much value for money you think it is. Personally I see it no better than a speech dialler, which has no subscription fees and less to go wrong.

Nobody is pointing fingers at anyone, we are just explaining it's limitations and why it is not considered monitoring. So what use is them talking to you? £15p/m for them to let you know you have set your alarm off accidentally? Are you saying you have this type of system without it being serviced and with no bellbox, I honestly don't see the value for money.

I wouldn't call that sort of thing monitoring... Monitoring has polling (well test calls on a digi).

Yep, Active IR beams covering inside the perimeter would be my first thought without seeing the job.

TBH if there is no money in the job, isolation is best for everyone. An unmaintained system is just a neighbour annoyer in the long run.

If I came to this as a job I would be quoting for new controls and bell minimum. The time spent messing about with a probably unmaintained 20+ year old budget panel thats showing signs of ageing is not productive to anyone.

Sold Out

I thought a AG6 was the cheap go to DIY box...?

Sorry we do not share defaulting information or engineers manuals here as per our guidelines.

Breakglass is not ideal detection. Settings on the tester should allow you to check flex and smash. Are you using the setting where you tap the surface with the tester and the smash follows?

Ding!

I believed it to be 5 posts, unless it's pulled from gravatar facetwit login etc.

I agree also signalling line fault at the controls helps, but not infallible due to only testing line voltage and not polling the line regularly.

Contact your installer and have your new router set up again. The error is a warning to say its not polling the server.

Smallest size bootlace would be 0.5. You wouldn't bootlace solid core data as its designed for IDC's

A quick dab on the battery yer. Wired up permanently no

Possibly blown something then. Speakers aren't designed to pass DC and AUX output isn't designed to take a short. Check AUX voltages with meter and find another loudspeaker of the same impedance to test the output.

A "loudspeaker" should be wired into loudspeaker terminals and have a resistance of between 8-32ohms if tested on it's leads only depending on the speaker and panel.

Do you have anything wired in speaker terminals? If there is a built in speaker meter the resistance on it's leads to see if its ok, do the same if you have fitted one separately.

If I Remember Correctly

But why did the circuits not operate? Is the expander powered from the same PSU?

Most closed loop security and fire equipment is wired NC with open on loss of power.

Something is wired wrong? PSU should ideally signal a fault to the controls too.
