CAME UK account area - Danger: Malware Ahead! Google Chrome has blocked access to this page on www.cameuk.com. Content from kszzavuu.freewww.info, a known malware distributor, has been inserted into this web page As reported to them back in DECEMBER. No idle threat either, as Windows Defender has just blocked and deleted a trojan.... Surely, is it just me???!! Or do they have no other customers?!

Bump.... Had this today, was convinced before I even saw this thread or the gates it would be the sensors but turned out the relay board. Basically if you tapped the relay(s), whichever had the sticky coil would move and all would be fine! However, Oxo mentioned the hooj capacitors so wondered if anyone else had experience? @ PSE where can I get a new ZA4 board for £45? Did have a direct CAME account once, was there where it was that price?

BS approved Bell transformer is exempt AFAIK, if wired direct to 5A or 6A? Might be making that up

Guessing the ones in the middle are ceiling detectors! DT yes but I wouldn't personally put a smoke in the garage either, save it for the hall, a heat or RoR seems more appropriate in the garage. Lounge and Bed PIR is facing a window but if mirrored optics less of an issue. Landing deffo needs one two, otherwise its up the stairs during the EE timer, into any other bed and gone again all before you even get an alarm... As I guess the hallway will be on Access.

Well, I did this job today swapping out for an LCD based panel. The two detectors in the initial picture... Wait for it, wired in PARALLEL?!!??!! Or as the job sheet which I found (but sadly haven't got) stuffed on top of the cabinet said 'wire garage in parell' Twisted wires to connect speaker in trunking - no insulation Taped up twisted wire joints in loft Somehow ran out of wires for SAB so joined Strobe to Siren!! (Lets not forget even old panel was PD 2010) Front door contact was Grade 1 without tamper. All from an NSI gold sold as Grade 2X. (Not a cash job or homer). Class and a half.

At the end of the day its a new set of directors I suppose - wouldn't they (SSAIB) be on dodgy ground legally? Same staff on tools, same office, and same phone number, and a strangely familiar logo though.... (the logo on the bells is nothing like anything on the website. The S is about 200pts and rotated so it could almost be a 2....)

In the last dying gasps of this Ex-WSM Gold (hmmm... who could that be??) they did this bells only as a G2X. Full paperwork not a homer or cash job etc... To be honest I'm now (possibly) changing the panel just over a year later so haven't thoroughly investigated this little setup; as its going to be changed for a DT and, hey, might just put a contact on at least one of the 2 external doors to the area. It's either wired as a 2 zones to get a confirm, or wouldn't be at all surprised if wired in series to cut down on FAs.... Remember the same brains behind it are still trading..... If we get the job I'll let you know how it was wired.

There was a special Rapesco gun for 1.0-1.5 T+E mind. Used plastic staples. Gave NICEIC inspectors palpitations when seen!! Lets have some more of those jokes, folks...

Things found in airing cupboards

We did an alarm in a shop that had been a jewellers in the 1970s and then an estate agents ever since. Unbelievably, the stairs to the 2nd and 3rd floors were lightly boarded up and had never been visited in years! Sadly nothing of value but a nearly fully kitted 1960s workshop complete with Bakelite Lucas batteries to run some sort of electric brazing iron and a retro stock room with period packaging etc... Sadly before the days of camera phones. -

Found a coin (US dime) unde the floor which the householder was happy for me to keep. Later sold it for $400 on ebay US (rare mark) Same street years later (last year in fact) found a large grotty envelope underfloor marked '2004 - £15,000 cash'... Have you seen my new motorbike? Not really, obviously I gave it to the customer - who then confessed he'd forgotten it was there!!
