My first call tomorrow is booked for 9am (well between 9-12) in penrith. I'm on the coast near Newcastle upon Tyne. So about a 2hr drive to get to site. I could potentially get a call at 6am be out for 3 hours. Which would mean I'm pushing back jobs and won't get in until late and will miss appointment times. As others have said its not ideal but it's a means to a way. Climbed out of a bedroom window the other day and stood on a small pitched roof to replace a Bell. ( longest laddders wouldn't reach over the small extension). Wouldn't get a cheery picker in either. I decided the risk was okay to do it.

That rule Wouldn't work for me. Last place I worked at had the rest time but I usually ended up going in for 9 anyway.
-
How does that work if you have a call booked for 9am? Just cancel it? If no other engineers are avliable that is?
-
Yeah was only kidding, I'd have to check my contract if it's in there, but tbh I don't get that many calls and quite enjoy the peace being away from the missus on calls lol.

Call out at 3am , non stop all day since, finished at 6. And then had to take to toilet to bits to see why it's not flushing. Best day ever.

1k across tamper, From one side of tamper into 1 side of alarm Out of empty alarm back to panel Aux + Aux- Is the shock self resetting? The older ones wernt. And used to have to fit a normally closed push button on the panel to drop the power for a second for it to reset.

Isn't there lots of writing involved in those things? Hope your penmanship is better than your iPad typing

I prefer automagically

I thought I read it somewhere, maybe not. Was something about cross talk. I fitted 3 rios and filled a 2/44 didn't have any issues after they were programmed in.

Did a wireless system the other week, address rf portals 1.2&3 Shows up and enabled all zones l recommended no more than 16 devices per portal ( apparently) Contacts program in straight away, our the battery in detector , leave it for a minuite or two then program in with tamper. Mine wouldn't signal straight away ( fitted 30)

Oh yeah, much better in those days IMO lol Must admit I'm guessing most companies use the same seed code. Depends what the arc can support Aswell . - ours only supports certain scantronic rem reset seeds
-
Yeah . Still quite a few around tho.
-
The aritech cd panels are a 1-99 list lol

CG-from your web blog . I'm not sure how you would get the seed codes. The customer doesn't know what they are. It's added to the account during commissioning. Or by the office direct to the ARC. Not sure how many of us have had a customer watch us while we program a panel. If its via UDL I doubt the customer would see anything more than the zone lists. And I'd say even if a customer was behind me whilst I was programming a galaxy he would miss what I'm typing I'm that used to which menu options to change etc etc. As others have said resetting the system yourself could potentially risk a URN loss. It also effects false alarm managment, and could cause more problems than its worth. -takes 5 mins to ring the arc for a reset providing the reason is genuine. If its not customer error, they have an issue with the system and need an engineer visit to assure the integrity of their security system. I tout technistore was a pay for product so posting a code generator would be against copyright?? Not sure if the actual algorithm is protected by that or not. Would make sence otherwise every one would have a copy of the generator??

Out of interested which ones have you looked at ?

What's the actual current , current of the battery? If its below a certain threshold that's what's causing the issue. Had it once with a new battery from the van with it being cold. Left it charging for a hour or so while doing Maint and was all okayafter that.
