always done yes and no, rather than at the same time hold down yes and no.
only other lock is a code lock which should reset its self after x hours, but don't get many of them.
Brick is always useful in your tool kit....lol

varying results many find me online.
its al bout trying to target the right area.
I had 1 lead from 10,000 leaflets delivered by a distributor at £28 a thousand , I had 2 leads from 100 leaflets hand delivered by me after a call out.
Some put the leaflet to onside and call later, need something on the leaflet to call them to action. (a discount or something).
Target high crime rate areas, avoid council estates that are not privately owned as the council tend to maintain them.

its frustrating at times.
Unfortunately they think they are doing well going with a name they know or a system sold by a diy chain that they have faith in but they don't know what they are buying to them an alarm system is an alarm system.
-
Yes and No is the way to go
-
not going this year, just not sure its worth it, bring it back to brum or Manchester.
-
many diyers just don't have a set of ladders for the bell box.
if it bothers you say no, or charge silly but don't forget those sites are charging you for the leads.

Have to be honest had the exact same fault on a customers Veritas panel earlier this year, when you did all the tests it behaved fine.
You could fire the strobe and the bell, walk test, and everything else just couldn't set the alarm same sort of symptoms as you describe. opted to replace the panel and the bell box and its been fine ever since.
Age of unit 20 years touch and it was located in the airing cupboard.

Must be to do with the mesh then, as a galaxy will just report the device as an rf fail when flat
no idea but I see your logic, as to the jam.
you would have thought that the device that's flat would turn off give a device fail and the mesh self heal so no jamming? things are never that simple mind.
-
well if I get bored tonight I can walk round the house and try it but in the middle of decorating, but getting a plumber in for the new radiator.
-
to be fair the first time I had a jamming fault was after I let a low battery go all the way to jamming fault. walked in and set my hard wired devices off, but wanted to see what happened and I still had protection. But the low battery was logged for a long time before it got to the jammed state.
as for timings never had a 7 minute wait either, after setting everything up complete the commissioning of the mesh using ricochet monitor to monitor the status, when its 100% complete, then do my walk test, always wary that those near foot traffic may have been activated and sleeping.
as for modes I always leave in the default mode they were learned on as that's what was recommended seem to recall years ago putting a quad in hybrid mode threw a wobbler I am guessing that's been addressed a long time ago now. Change batteries every 2 years seems to work fine.
always awake permanently on
auto sleeps for 3 mins after being activated
hybrid I believe is on when the system is armed and if you get the rotating line it represents the devices being started up
-
run the cables for the devices one per zone and one for the bell box and 1 for the keypad would be a good start.
you can cable them up on the bench, zone 1 for the contact and so on.
-
it doesn't say you need a licence to install it, only those using for a certain criteria but that's as far as my interpretation goes.

nothing about installing it, but using it yes.

read the terms before signing up.
how many approved installers do they have in the 30 mile radius and how many system do they have in your 30 mile radius?
sub contractors pay a fee to work for a company?

if tech can't help you not sure what you can do, or maybe they are misunderstanding what your trying to achieve with what equipment.
You have the manual for the unit and the panel, where is the problem specifically?
-
Just attempted to upload the ACM manual to the download section, never used it mind.
-
The insurance assesor is what they said, not the broker which surprised me, have to take what customers say with a pinch of salt mind I wasnt there, but defo the yale alarm system from the insurance assesor.
-
I went to a potential new customer recently after a burglary (Optima 2 plus system) to tell me the insurance company recomended Yale Smart alarm and gave them a short demo, the pad wasnt as swish as the one above mind.
-
lots of people are suffering, some B&Q stores are closing apparently.
I ain't snowed under but plodding along for now.
-
the panel is fine, but there is more to the panel than wiring.
programming requires some basic understanding of what you want it to do, and what its capable of and what things mean.
Alarm manuals are not known for simplicity, they are more round basic wiring, what a function means and where to find it, but not how to set it up properly.
Petwise detectors are only any good if setup correctly and suitable for the animal(pet you have), cats are well known for climbing and jumping up, and once they get above a certai height the pet detectors may not help, also getting robbed by people under a certain height.
-
pictures certainly helped here.
-
stickers don't look as good.
screen print is nice but its storage. that's why I a big fan of the Odyssey X with or without the backlight, so little space taken up, change your design just get a new insert printed and 30 inserts are much cheaper and easier to store than 30/40 printed covers
-
I would go eol to be honest, if the detectors don't have resistor the kit comes with 2k2 and 4k7 and 3k3, you can use the 2k2(eol) and 4k7(alarm), or 3k3 for both and wiring type would be double pole/eol, rather then wiring type as normally closed as you have suggested.
then you are looking at a tamper you are only looking at one device.
-
it doesn't make it any easier when the keypads and expanders have two for alarm and two for tamper and the 24 and the wireless panels just have the 2 terminals.
Leaflet Advertising
in Members Lounge (Public)
Posted
my first leaflet run was 50,000 made for around £220 A5 double sided designed myself, it generated some work but its targeting the right areas.
I still get work from the leaflets so don't be discouraged if you don't get anything immediately.
Looked at radio and newspaper advertising but I don't read newspapers and don't tend to listen to the radio, those that have done newspaper advertising that I have spoke to haven't recommended it and to be fair they don't do it a lot.
If someone is paying for advertising regularly then it is possible it is generating work if they try and it doesn't work they don't tend to try it again.
Is your vehicle sign written get a few calls from people seeing me out and about.
