So to summarise all adt systems need a kill code, this code will only be used at end of support? Burglars can't wait for that, look for a tired, non maintained bell, break-in then enter this kill code. What a superb idea all we need is some kind of sign on the outside Oh wait does this mean anyone with an adt bell outside could use a code to......

Agreed, you own the equipment. You can do with it as you wish. Using your car theory you have paid all the payments and now own it. If you want anyone to work on your car its not going to be for free.

eol resistors are in the wrong place and is non complaint. If its wired with a tamper loop and be looking at that first

and you definetly dont have a tamper issue?

Hi there

sounds like high res then. Whats the loop resistance of the circuit. Im assuming its double pole. You shouldnt have 16 of anything on 1 circuit tho

its a gross attack. your panel will report that its different to a pulse attack. Basically means 1 big impact rather than a few smaller ones but depends how you have it wired if you have a contact in series with the shock sensor or did you bang the window to open it?

It's a switched mode psu I'd check it still has output with load. Unplugged even if knackered it will give voltage, check it on load

Be cautious though as you said they only do ooh to contracts only. I'd agree with that. But if you have no contract you also have insurance issues

Hello there

Best of luck, what did you do before?

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?

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?
