  1. Until I swapped the fuses, I had no idea if it was fuses, pcb or cpu. When I spotted the blown keypad fuse, I feared that you may have been right about the pcb, but when I removed the bell fuse, and the bell boxes sounded, I knew that fuse was good, so inserting it in the keypad slot, to see if they were ok, proved it was just a blown fuse and everything was ok, now all I need is to locate a replacement fuse
  2. What you would expect to have happen, the outside bell box, activated until the internal batteries in both of them ran down, and hence why I need to get a fuse to replace the bell fuse
  3. Sorry Peter, youve lost me a bit, when swapping the fuses, the keypad became operational but need to replace the fuse thats vacant for bell fuse
  4. I cut back the damaged cable, and spliced in a replacement section of cable, soldering the ends together before using terminal blocks. I have full confidence in the repaired section
  5. Your right, it wasnt set, and the wires didnt break, they were just exposed by the drill bit, so musta just shorted the keypad fuse
  6. It wasnt armed, cpu is fine as swapped bell fuse to keypad fuse which had blown, and alarm operates fine, just neen to get replacement bell fuse
  7. Norman you were correct, When I checked the keypad fuse it had blown, but when I swapped the bell fuse with keypad fuse, the keypad came back on and the bellbox sounded, so unit is fine, I just need to source a 500mA 20mmx5mm anti-surge, quick blow fuse
  8. Hi all, I'm wondering if I can call on your advice, my ademco accord8 is or was still going strong until whilst doing some diy, I damaged the 8 core cable that goes to the keypads, and also splits off to the upstairs pir and bell box. Ive repaired the damage to the cable, and whilst the main unit still stayed on throughout, the keypads on both doors have remain unpowered. I'm assuming It has blown a fuse to the keypads. But how can I access the main unit without being able to turn the unit into safe mode by using the engineers code (have access to full engineers manual and default codes), without working keypads. Any advice would be gratefully received.
  9. Hi al-yeti, nope no PIR's or magnetic contacts had any of the tamper terminals wired up, I purchased 2 magnetic contacts one to replace the existing aged one on patio doors, this is already set as an entry/ exit. And I was gonna add the other new one to conservatory door as well as installing a pet PIR, but happily could just stick with a door contact, but have this also set as entry/exit if it's possible to set them up that way. Which would mean front door, patio doors and conservatory doors would all have magnetic contacts and be set as entry/ exits, with the pet PIR's protecting all the downstairs rooms and top landing for upstairs if that all makes sense, appreciate your thoughts al
  10. Peter two posts after datadiffusion last post, need company name edited out also
  11. But if any engineers in Glasgow area wish to quote, feel free to contact me, and save me from whole world if grief But if any engineers in Glasgow area wish to quote, feel free to contact me, and save me from whole world if grief
  12. Yea alarm, think it go down like a ton of bricks, just wanting to fix it myself, can't be too difficult for a complete noob like myself with all the experts in here
  13. Peter James, I can use the new PIR to replace the aged one upstairs, and just put magnetic sensor on conservatory door, but still would like to keep door sensor from patio door in kitchen to conservatory
  14. Alarm protection, It was an ACME engineer, did it as a homer when installing alarms for alarmfast for wimpy, so can't go back to the company as it wasn't a company installed system, at the present house is alarmed apart from conservatory, so original patio doors that would have led into backdoor would have been a secondary final exit, but now lead into conservatory which has not been added to system, just want to protect it and make conservatory doors the final exit but still keep patio doors sensor'd
  15. Alarm protection, I'm not saying it's ok either, this system was installed by an alarmfast engineer, and I bow to the superior knowledge of the experts that installed it at the time, and you's for your expert knowledge, and in hindsight if I'd known that system wasn't set up correctly then I would have fixed it sooner, unfortunately kitchen and flooring is in and cables are buried, so any advice to help fix it or program it would be gratefully received
