  1. 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.

    He was so strait he wasn’t willing to do any additional work. Not for any price. I even had the door contact so he didn’t have to supply that. 

     

    Inasked the engineer who who installed it and he wouldn’t give me the engineers code :( 

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

  3. 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. 

  4. 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? 

     

  5. 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.

    You want set of controls for £150.00 ?

     

    Less vat thats £125,

     

    Materials would cost me £65+vat  I'd expect an employee to cost 1/2 a day & transport

     

    Can't afford to do it.

    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.

  7. **** 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 ?

    You'd be better installing something that's not tat or likely to cause you revisits and generates recurring revenue. 

     

    Customers have no idea what they want. 

    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.
