    Texecom Veritas R8 Replacement Pcb

    in Members Lounge (Public)

    I just meant if everyone understood where you were coming from it would be easier to help out with the correct info.

     

    When I first responded to you I thought you were just a random guy that knew nothing about alarms, sorry. It is easy to misunderstand people in just a few lines of text.

     

    Most of us on here know where each of us work or who for as it makes sense when advising, and can lead to good business opportunities.

     

    Many of the members on here put subcontracted work towards members that are in areas they do not cover. You may get hard cash out of it :) :)


    I love your optimism.

    Friendliness.....

    Texecom Veritas R8 False Alarms

    in Members Lounge (Public)

    Posted

    I am afraid of sounding like I am been harsh on you, but been totally honest:

     

    Ive just recently visited a client who has a texicom Veritas R8.

    Did you charge them for this? May I ask how much?

    Symptoms are that the Alarm repeatedly  keeps going off at random times.

    Did you look into the log? What did that show?

    They said that they have had the external sounder changed a year ago, and that the control panel battery was last changed around 4 years ago.

    Slightly important, but this does not rule them out as faults.

    I then put in a temporary battery to see if this was the problem, and for the first few days it was fine but yet again the alarm has gone off several times, the owner says that the tamper light comes on everytime to.

    Did you not test the existing battery? With a meter that simulates battery discharge (amp reading) this is the correct way to determine a battery fault.

    They also mentioned the problem after a power out, I have tried the defualt engineers code but nothing happend.

    So it has a different engineer code.

    My first instinct now is to go back and do a factory reset by powering th system down, then connecting the mains and presswing the tamper spring 3 times and seeing if the engineers code has been locked out.

    That is NOT how I would default the R8+ or any texecom panel as far as I know, maybe that does work, I have never tried it. But the way the installation manual says is different.

    If this is the case is there anyway of unlocking this with a boss code?, if so can anyone tell me how to please?

    For the cost of a new pcb against the hassle, I would just swap it out.

    Also could this potentially be a broken cable in one of the tamper circuits?, if so will carrying out a resistance check on each of the the closed circuits do for testing these?

    Are you serious? How else would you do it? This is really really basic stuff to be honest.

    Any input would be greatly appreciated 

     

    Sorry

    true tho innit....

     

     

    I was not trying to wind him up though, it was a serious suggestion.

     

    Errr, why have a dog and bark yourself?

    If you are spending lots of time weowing? maybe? then barking would be a better use of ones time.... Possibly

    And to save the 20k, (another reason not to pay another person to "bark for you")

    When smurf shares his, I'll share mine :)

    I'd say we get much better return on investment, not just advertising but even just my wage.

     

    4i pays you to be on ere several hours a day EVERYDAY. :)

     

    I think you could sack a telesales person and save 4i 20k a year if you were to work more for the company.

    How Simple Can You Make The Paperwork

    I have been playing with gocanvas and device magic.

    The later works well, fill a form in on the app and it auto exports into a word doc and emails to you.

    If I am honest, I can still write a docket quicker!

    I could say the same..

     

    But the thing that makes me ponder it all is the time it takes to process said dockets (not the one, the thousands :( )

    Help Needed With Diy 2 Zone Alarm

    Chris thanks for your information that completely doesnt help me at all in any possible way.

     

    JamieWilson, thanks, im taking a look at what we have locally, little pricey though. Those 3 windows are all on one steel frame, would a vibration sensor detect vibration from all 3 windows if i put it on the middle window ? Thanks

    My best advice would to start off with the "backbone" i.e. panel keypad external sounder 1 door contact and a pir. Do this with equipment that is made for the job. If you cannot afford all at once install whatever you can and add to it. But tbh with alarms you need to do it properly or you will just waste money and still get burgled (posibly ofc)

    Trust me I really really want AM but it's just not quite there for me, I have played with the download loads and have had Ken in the office. Granted I wish in hindsight I wish it was done in that order, but I had Ken here first and since then have learnt more about it. Maybe another visit from him will "sell" it to me better>??>

     

    But overall if we our DB was worse or we had nothing then I would have bought something like AM or Clik ages ago, and I know you hate me saying it but I do worry about the future of any system we use. Don't take this as hostile Jeff (u know I have no beef with you :) ) but I am at a different point in business, are we not? I get the impression you are looking towards retirement whereas I am looking towards the next 30 yrs or so. Granted no software will last that long but I want to be making changes as few a times as possible.

     

    I understand this is all a very weak argument for not getting am, because I am so close to getting it. I cannot say it is bad compared to what we have.

    here here !!!!

     

    I wonder how many are wondering/looking for the "best way". I would be happy to run things almost identically to everyone else if we were all gaining from it. There must be something around the corner surely!! You know a package that is so much clearly better than the others.

     

    Our Db is Access based as is Clik, I think so much more can be done with access than we or Clik (or James Wilson and the other hundreds?.? of co's using homemade Databases) have done. I know Access is slagged off by some, but it seems to have the capabilities to do what I want. There is just nothing put together that does it all.

     

    I know naff all about access or alternatives, but there must be a better product coming along soon enough!

    I cannot wait for the next decent package. That gets rave reviews from ex AM users.

     

    So far seems like CLIK could be the one if they get more industry specific to us lot...

     

    Anyway our oldest van has broken down '07... Maybe time to order a new one :(     Doesn't take many wasted days to make it a no brainer!
