  1. Hi, I don't know who makes the 9500 keypad. I think the code may be remembered numerically, and then the user remembers it sub-consciously or by muscle memory. The segment spacing looked too tight to be representative of a clock face.

  2. The lock was at a bank in 2008. I didn't take a photograph because I didn't think that I would need one, and the staff may not have been comfortable with such action. It is not the one above. The face plate was white and the segments were keys that would be entered to form a code.

  3. I have seen a reader that appears to be a square like plate with a circle of segments going around. The user inputs the code in this format. There are no numbers displayed. Do you know what type of device it would be ... any brands/models in question?

  4. Do owners of NSI installations get full control of the systems or are certain features like part sets locked off?

     

    A friend uses a system in a commercial premises, and they are required to unarm with RFID and arm with code. What kind of rules apply for both domestic and commercial installations?

  5. Our system uses an external keypad. I do have a couple of other questions though.

     

    Whilst the panel was in the engineer programme, I had the lid off, which was fine, but when I unscrewed the bar, an alarm condition was triggered, which had to be reset.

     

    I connected what appeared to be a loose/spare core into a central junction block, which I think is the global tamper. I then removed it again, and the strobe light now doesn't seem to work. If you are curious why I conducted this action, it was due to the faults referenced earlier in the post, thinking that the loose core might be the problem.

  6. The system is unserviced in the house and we don't use it really anymore because people are usually in, with a dog. The battery itself is like from the 90's, and was only giving half of the power needed. There have been faults with the system before where it would suddenly activate and the code would default itself. It only happened once, and was like the day after I defaulted it.

  7. I hear these strange noises, and put my head out of the window and they sound like they are coming from the intruder bell. It sounds like a smoke alarm tone, but I have never heard this before. There is a possibility that it could be coming from the roadside or otherwise. I have entered the engineer's programme on The ADE Optima Plus 2, conducted a bell test, turned FCU off, and nothing has changed. There is no battery in the panel, and the bell battery is likely to have worn out (installed in 90's).
