I got on very well with him I often called him author mo because of his long posts and my condolences go out to his family and friends.

I am of the opinion that despite the technology improvements you always have the weakest link of relying on batteries so would never recommend any radio system. Having said that some systems work extreamly well with a lot of advantages that wired systems do not have but call me old fashioned I will never fit one voluntarily although I did last year but only due to the customers requesting it after decorating their house and didn't want any cables showing anywhere he he reminds me of the saying don't sell the customer what he needs sell him what he wants. With many customers now wanting radio wifi etc these days I am glad to give them what they want but refuse to fit the cheap ones that die without warning etc etc the more expensive ones give a warning months in advance of a break down/battery failure. I would still recommend wired before radio though.

My experience with this type of sensor is that they do just that i.e. sense pets. Having said that, knowing where and how to set them up properly according to the manufactures instructions gives reasonable protection with a small risk of unwanted (rather than false) alarms. The same goes for perimeter detection, if you set them up according to manufactures recommendations and instructions you are usually relatively free from unwanted alarms. Because of the nature of pets I don't think any manufacturer will guarantee that pets will never activate the alarm devices even if they are for so called "pet avoidance" I always recommend that pets are kept out of any alarmed areas if this is possible (and it always is one way or another) if not then the risk of occasional unwanted alarm must be accepted as part of the situation. In turn too many unwanted alarms will affect the response from the authorities and also the insurance in many instances and that is apart from key holders who may be fed up to turn out and of course neighbours who get fed up of the sounders going off

Hi Arfur Brought back memories for me too. Great big warehouses with tube and wire frames as far as the eye could see. Sometimes it was bad installation other times it was leaking roofs and yet other times it was employees or staff hanging their coats or products upon the bars causing all sorts of faults. Anyway well done. I have not had time just lately to see how things are here but I thought I would have come back to a larger tome. Even been to a house that had just 2 circuits with a total of 72 flush contacts installed when the house was built, it never gave much trouble but was a pain to fault find on as all cables were buried and no jb's were used, good fun though. I think we should go in search of the old stuff just to get the photo's. I've still got some foil and wire lace (just in case he he) best wishes Vince

Someome who obveously hasn't missed you LOL I'll pm you

No No NO Too much like hard work. What you do is write a book giving step by step instructions on how you did it and set up a click bank affiliate program so others can sell it for you and you just do whatever you want in your retirement

I was talking to one of our x buddies last week and he didn't know you had left LOL Take it easy, plan your week in a balanced way but always expect the unexpected. Great tip is plan to sell your new business some time in the future to a big company for a sum of money that you can retire on. Don't forget to get the Hondas serviced

Congratulations mate. I knew you would see sense, but if you even think of going back give me a ring and I'll give you some free counselling Don't forget you should treat the Hcndas differently that the hexes All the best

I've been frapped
