    On a bell the tamper isn't a switch it should be 0v if the tamper is ok Meter between tr and ho + you should get >12v

    Agreed on the above a well maintained system should not activate the external bell however it should inform 'a level 2 user' that it has an issue. As pj says all those alarms that activate externally show that they are not looked after, maintained or bothered about. So never armed if functioning at all. Never let your external sounder activate without decent cause or some might think its just a power failure

    To be fair they have a point.

    imo you want to avoid network for the core system. It should function on its own routers need power etc so i wouldnt worry about the network side, just use it for notification etc

    And the patented pending always armed thing would be a huge issue Regulation wise here. The idea has merit but needs refining.if it was somehow linked to ha or presence reporting though

    Sorry I dont even know the product (i think) what is it?
  7. james.wilson
    Dsc used to make one but anything that claims grade 4 is different to anything that is 3rd party certificated. Without it I could claim a logic 4 was grade 4 and self certify it was. Utterly meaningless

    It was never designed for dp the older stuff was and had pos and neg circuits iirc odds were neg evens were pos.

    are you sure its sending data to the dcm. Just because its saying succesfull read thats all the reader is reporting. Id investigate formats and connection between the reader and the dcm

    It does look that way. I'm guessing anyone that wants to be paid to promote sia or SW and SW products might have an opportunity In this case its neither

    Zabor you trying to hit 5 posts for a reason?

    Hi

    I think that time is changing. I don't think ajax is a professional system for the same reasons I don't think ring is. However 'if' it meets the standards then it could be installed by pros and diy alike. There should be a system standard for 50131 rather than just components As I've had this previously this is my opinion not a statement of fact or non approval

    You do know some will do this like drilling holes in their iPhone to get a jack

    Sorry I was using my galaxy and old euro knowledge was off then

    bear in mind any eol panel that doesnt use pos and neg circuits (none do that i know of?) dp wiring wont comply as it wont detect a short circuit
  17. james.wilson
    depends what they were and what you replaced them with
  18. james.wilson
    It probably says it wants 240v to As a side note I was working with an IT engineer today who was replacing switches. They were 4 Yr old but end of life so being replaced. Nothing is expected to last as long as IA gear it appears
  19. james.wilson
    It is nearly 30 yrs old
  20. james.wilson
    Looks like a scantronic 9800? But I haven't seen one in years If so uses double pole wiring (no resistors) You will have to add the resistors but given the age your probably going to replace tge sensors too

    Mobile operators and isp change things all the time
  22. james.wilson
    It always astounds me how people think the security industry doesn't know anything. Many want the bells to show armed status etc without think its a green light for non green light people However the next non approved or meeting any EN or BS product will be the best thing ever, till a ring doorbell is nicked
  23. james.wilson
    as opposed to showing the world it isnt set?
  24. james.wilson
    as long as its connected to strobe neg in the bell then yes.
  25. james.wilson
    as i said its a strobe +, not a strobe - hopefully it hasnt damaged your bell Strobe + is an additional permanent + on the days of way back when strobes were a seperate device not all built into a modern sounder
