  1. I use the test um lil buttie, it has dsl indication and a screen with onboard dtmf decoding, cli, line voltage, line current and polarity indication. tbh though I dont use pstn for intruder alarm signalling but it is still very prevalant in warden call and medical alarm signalling, and the dtmf decode has been very handy on a number of occasions. I bought a few when comtec were having a clearout at around £13+vat

    The wireless Pyronix pet sensors you have to do two backflips and a cartwheel for the bloody things to detect movement.

    true, but if you cut the top bar off the pet mask they are a lot more sensitive but still tolerate pets. 

    nothong comes close to the bosch for being sensitive while still disregarding pets  though. 

  3. There were a few buggy versions of the enforcer where the system speaker would intermittantly induce a voltage in the tag reader coil causing a code guessing FA.

    At the time pyronix tech support were suggesting the "fix" was to disconnect the tag reader from the pcb. I declined to do this and RMAd the panel, but perhaps your installer followed this advice?

     

    Oh hang on, i see its v10, i think this was 9 and below.

  4. The installer can add you to your account as an additional admin, and you can change these settings yourself.

    I do it for my customers when asked.

    They can **** about with their cloud settings to their hearts content, but they cant change settings for the arc monitoring.

    I use the csl digiair connected gprs product.

  5. Only when a fault is going to take more than a half hour to fix on an obsolete panel, thats when you have the throwing good money after bad, i'm going to need paid for my time regardless if i can get this old scrapper going or not conversation. 

    Unless the thing was unsafe in tems of fire/ electrocution risk, then the fuse holder gets hidden.

  6. QIt has reached the end of its useful life, the various componenents have done their shift and now they want to retire in peace. You will have endless problems with it starting soon, and a new equivelant, upgraded actually, set of controls costs less than a tank of petrol for up to 20 years service. You will spend the money anyway in a short space of time so the only thing you acheive by procrastinating is signalling to your neighbours that you are a dick when thething starts false alarming repeatedly when you arent in to silence it.

    yep, and i can get into the menu, but there's no option to change iris which is how you select menu options! :"(

    yeah, i switch it on for nearly every camera i install. reduces quality a bit but at least you cans ee what's going on!

    Other than the iris button next to the preset button you mean?

    Thanks for the reply’s everyone, appreciated 

     

    ian would this be still the case as I have the new contact workings fitted on zone 1, it was mainly to rule out a faulty contact. 

     

    But still cant add in a 9th zone, that now being the old original contact. 

     

    One minute I can’t clear the Tamper then when I delete it and re-learn it the fault will change to the door showing open and not walk testing, it’s strange when the Tamper fault exists it walk tests fine, the next time after I re-learn it will tell me zone is open and not seeing any Tamper.

     

    Bizarre, also Eaton won’t talk to me as I’m not a company and just doing it diy. 

    Pm sent

  9. Congrats on overcoming the big C, edf treating you well? 

    Working down on that site was the most enjoyable task in my time at shorrockinitialchubb, I really wanted to go for the resident engineers job, but the commute was a pure **** and the mrs didn't want to move.

    Ever hear from George Charles?
