    to be fair the first time I had a jamming fault was after I let a low battery go all the way to jamming fault.  walked in and set my hard wired devices off, but wanted to see what happened and I still had protection. But the low battery was logged for a long time before it got to the jammed state.

     

    as for timings never had a 7 minute wait either, after setting everything up complete the commissioning of the mesh using ricochet monitor to monitor the status, when its 100% complete, then do  my walk test, always wary that those near foot traffic may have been activated and sleeping.

     

    as for modes I always leave in the default mode they were learned on as that's what was recommended seem to recall years ago putting a quad in hybrid mode threw a wobbler I am guessing that's been addressed a long time ago now. Change batteries every 2 years seems to work fine.

     

    always awake permanently on

    auto sleeps for 3 mins after being activated

    hybrid I believe is on when the system is armed and if you get the rotating line it represents the devices being started up

     

    You will be surprised when after 3min and your PIR still will not respond. Put an auto PIR on with chime and see the results.

    Hi isecurity 

    on the auto setting the PIRs didn't seem to "wake" at all. I seemed to wait a long time but may have got impatient/frustrated. Will try on auto again before trying hybrid. 

    As i said the time is between 3-15min before the detector becomes active again in auto mode.

    When I tested, i was getting average 7min.

    Quads/PIR's should be Auto, Dualtecs hybrid, Impaq Shock/contact Always awake.

     

    PIR's become active after 3-4 mins, this is to allow the wake poll signal to be seen, saves battery life.

    3-4 min is wrong. 

    Just put all your PIRs into hybrid, this also saves the most battery life.

  4. When in auto mode the detectors go to sleep for 3-15 min after detection, however the system is set.

    for best results put them in hybrid mode, asleep when not needed and awake when set.

    I'm intruigiued, this panel 'Honeywell lesucre wireless system' does it have main to that small keypad or bell?

    Ask as I had a survey this weekend with the same system!

    I would avoid Galaxy as my prerference go with Castle!

    It's all wireless and none of it can be wired. The only one with mains is the  little control panel thing with sim card in, which has a mains plug in adapter.

    Why would you avoid Galaxy ?

  6. Unfortunately there will be no cables to disconnect or reuse as the picture shows the Honeywell lesucre wireless system. I'm not sure but I think the wireless PIR & door contacts can be used with the galaxy wireless  range but fitting a pro panel is not for the DIYer.

  7. I thought guard access will cause full alarm condition if entry/exit timer has not.started. ie for a hallway pir. As the front door is not going.to be opened shouldnt it be programmed.as.timed.entry/exit zone

    If you have a read of the manual it states a Guard Access zone will start the part set entry timer when system is part set. I personally use entry/exit 2 attribute and never had a problem.

  8. I can't quote but don't all cables have to be mechanically protected under 2m regardless of the device?

    If I'm wrong then it's a good future rule to go by...

    Is that not a fire alarm reg ?

    I would have to look but it's wine O'clock  :teehee:

  9. No.

    But you may need to make them look nice and if they/it is installed in an escape route then....BS7671 521.11 comes into play.

     

    521.11 Wiring systems in escape routes

    521.11.201 Wiring systems in escape routes shall be supported such that they will not be liable to premature collapse in the event of fire. The requirements of Regulation 422.2.1 shall also apply, irrespective of the classification of the conditions for evacuation in an emergency.

    NOTE 1: Non-metallic cable trunking or other non-metallic means of support can fail when subject to either direct flame or hot products of combustion. This may lead to wiring systems hanging across access or egress routes such that they hinder evacuation and firefighting activities.

    NOTE 2: This precludes the use of non-metallic cable clips, cable ties or cable trunking as the sole means of support. For example, where non-metallic cable trunking is used, a suitable fire-resistant means of support/retention must be provided to prevent cables falling out in the event of fire.
