I would still go for crimping the cables.

Due to the location I would go with crimps

Paul, I don't have the serial number as the DVR was thrown out when replaced. We could about this for a long time but maybe warn installers this before buying the resetting software please. A 10min job lasted an hour plus I travelled 40mins to site and all for nothing.

As explained to various people at System Q the unit was empty for 6 months when my customer took over and the system was running as security for the owners unit. All I wanted to do was set the unit up for remote viewing on his phone. I bought the reset software thinking it was going to be a 10 min job then all the nonsense regarding who owned the DVR came up. I have an account with System Q and have been buying your equipment for years. I explained the reason to my customer who was baffled by the situation. His words "replace the DVR then but not with the same incase there is any hassle". So another make of DVR was installed as per customer request. Anyway a lesson learned and if I come across anymore system Q DVR's to take over ill make sure and ask do they have a receipt of ownership for the DVR.

You will need a proof of purchase receipt of the equipment David. Thats what I was told and I had already purchased the reset software but they would not give me the code. I asked the owner and of course he only had a receipt for the unit he was renting and not the equipment that was left in it from the previous company that went bust. Ended up having to purchase another DVR.

I think you may find it could be BB or bb with is a bell box tamper problem.

Use the wiring thats there and replace with a Gardtec 600 panel. More or less the same programming but I would change the wiring to EOL.

Looks like your batteries are failing in the devices causing tamper. If the system is not on engineer reset you will be able to change the batteries yourself. I would advise to replace batteries in all the sensors

If your happy and want the same system then I would replace with a Gardtec 600.

If its any help its the same programming as the Paragon E panel.

Maybe a charging circuit problem?

With the disco CPX once power has been restored you would just do a walk test and activate the detectors to get the system working again and talking to the receiver.

Remember on the CPX the system needs time to recharge the battery up to 11.8v and over to function or you will get Batt/Fuse fault. £114 to get the system serviced and new batteries is about the standard price Imo.

As Mr Happy says, The Paragon is one of the worst alarms for random faults and when you have fixed them you are back again. I would advise an upgrade even before I looked at one now.

Just a question to see if anyone is using Orisec for their controls etc and do you rate their equipment? Anyone using their new wireless range and would you rate it better than Risco equipment?

The panel could be locked.

Just type it in google and you will get all the info you need.

I have just been out to a DSC panel this morning throwing up fault after fault. Battery never been changed and charging circuit has blown. Looking at the battery date and it was installed in 2007. Lightsys 2 going in tomm with app etc.

There are hundreds of DSC panels round my way all fitted by British Gas.

On the G3's you can change any zone type. Easier with the LCD keypad.

Pyronix kit can run a wired or wireless external bell.

You will need the Gardtec 601panel as this can take 2 x expander boards or use a panel that does BUS wiring.

Where is the panel an wireless receiver? Are they both together in a cupboard? With the zone lost/Jamming you need to test the receiver and see what % this has in test. You need to set this parameter to 20% higher in the diagnostics from the result you get. Also I would suggest you test each wireless zone to see what % you get as this tests the signal strength from the detector to receiver. All this is in the wireless set up programme side in the eng manual. I wouldn't go with the company that says this can be done in 10mins as I would be defaulting the panel and starting from scratch doing all testing on zones etc. More like an hour to make sure it is right.

I install Risco and if installed and programmed right you will not get any hassle. From what I have noticed Zone 93 should be set to 12hr and not panic. With the tamper on the shed door did you open and close the door a couple of times as this sends back the tamper reset? If not then your tamper switches is open. If I were you I would default and start again.

We use Optex for beams.
