Hi does anyone have a template alarm / cctv contract I could take a look at. I'm just writing my own up and need some inspiration.

Cheers for the quick response al-yeti

Hi, do theses panels have built in speech diallers to alert the customer directly, or do you need a external dialler. Ive never worked on them before so not sure.

Sounds like it just needs a engineers reset.

Bosch 7240

Have a go at down powering in and see what happens when you power up. Failing that try defaulting the panel and reprograming.

Its not a difficult job to remove / replace the sensors. The 600 quite a new panel so not much point replacing the whole system. You will need a engineer to do this but it will work out cheaper than changing the whole alarm. You can get it serviced at the same time to avoid problems in the future.

Hummmmmmm. Wonder what happened for the company to refuse to do any more work at any price.

Whoever sold it to you must have a technical helpline. Just call them and have them talk you through it while your at the keypad.....

Yea I did the test monitor, was dialling out and sending data, but didn't get any acknowledgement so just kept trying. Has to be either ARC account Fault or programming fault on my behalf. Plan was to send signals to receiver at texecom to prove either way if it was ARC fault or me being a tool and programming wrong.

Sounds like low device batts all round, and you have the wrong code. The whole thing just needs a service. If you cant afford that have it down powered to stop it going off all the time.

Yea did the test phone, got through to the receiver, and double checked the account number. Might be fault on the account ARC side, or some really dumb mistake I missed on programming.

Hi sorry gave up in the end. All settings were ok as far as I could see. The panel was dialling out on activation but nothing being received at the arc.

0845300600 I'm trying to get signals to arc but to being received. alarm is dialing out chip and receiver nos are correct. just want to make sure I havnt missed anything.

Any one ever been able to get through to them. Have been on hold for over one hour!!!!!!

It all depends on your circumstances and whats included in the offer. You will have guaranteed monthly income and sick pay (maybe), however you loose the ability to control your work load. Is 34k all in including on call, how often you do it, what do you get for a callout. Can you use the van when not working?

You just have to be a competent person to fit a fused supr providing it not in a special zone such as a kitchen of bathroom. You need a test meter to check for earth fault loop, rcd test, insulation test etc, and have to issue a minor works cert for the spur. Tavcom in Southampton do a day course for it.

Ive used UNV before, its ok, does the job at a fair price, have had no faults, and is only available to trade.

With Hik the prices are just a google away. First thing some customers will do is check and moan about the profit.

Sounds great ,you would be still be making £5 maybe £10 profit on this job if you fit cheap equipment. Who wouldn't want to work half a day for that.

lol I probably could..... I'm just not a heartless c***

**** me.... it s a old dear with bugger all cash, who just wants something to call someone if the alarm goes off. Maybe it would make great business sense to scare the **** out of her and sign her and get her to sign up to a grade 4 monitored dual path system with monitored cctv ?

What's wrong with a sd1. Alarm activates, sd1 dials out customer informed?

Exactly Norman, hence why I am asking the question on a professional security forum. Haven't fitted many myself but thought I would seek advice. Nothing worse than fitting ***** that you keep getting called back for.

Might have a look at the digi air and see what the costs are like. Have use them before when I have been doing contracting work, they are a good bit of kit.
