    yes looks like you have another code. Engineer cant do users you need the 'manager' code
  2. james.wilson
    agreed texecom, pyronix is where the numbers are at
  3. james.wilson
    To prove router etc coukd you use your own phones Access point temp to prove the gear etc

    I wonder where that came from... Perhaps that alarm collector

    I've got an old oil filter from a 1989 escort only used once Should fit an orion or maybe a sierra

    agreed. I prefer sounders than speakers personally, hi-lo's particularly
  7. james.wilson
    its long obsolete. you need a 9800 keypad for a 9800 panel, like asking about using a fiat ecu on a citreon engine etc
  8. james.wilson
    A speaker is a speaker, ie needs a speaker signal. A sounder needs switched voltage (in our case 12v) to sound.

    As above it was many years ago I'd assume the same thing will happen with ring blink etc. Also iirc it was a Motorola rebadge from a visonic unit with firmware that could only use their service sold at a discount on product hardware cost to recoup on the service. Plus to be a customer you must be paying bt to be one?

    As above it should be one sensor per input. The old old regs allowed 10 per circuit if latching but that was a hangover from the 70s. I'm a big believer of if you can get a wire to it you should but 10 devices on a wire is worse. If you can't use some form of Id then I'd suggest wireless is better in this case. You could use addressable with hkc and keep the single sensor per point etc

    You appear to not have power to the keypad. This could be cable damage, faulty keypad, disconnected in the control panel etc.

    As above its probably a test call under tel no 1. Its a requirement for grade 2 communicators to test the alarm path at least once every 24 hours to prove it could use it if needed

    Does anyone rate risco anymore? I know the past and how it was 1 way would you use it out vs anything else?
  14. james.wilson
    OP U fortunately as a DIY grade system I doubt any of our members will have installed your system only removed them when upgrading
  15. james.wilson
    If you dont know the code and it hasnt been serviced in years your gonna struggle to stop it without fully decommissioning it. Alarms need a little looking after or they cause issues as you have found out
  16. james.wilson
    It's not a very respected manufacturer anymore that why Mr h is saying bin it. How old is it, when last serviced etc?
  17. james.wilson
    meter the tamper return from the sounder to check its not that causing your tamper
  18. james.wilson
    check the sab tamper too?
  19. james.wilson
    Agreed very few free things work well all the time. Its a security system at the end of the day. If signalling is important 'dont' use an app
  20. james.wilson
    there was a protocol it was called open ip. But only manufacturer that supported it and made product was gjd
  21. james.wilson
    yes
  22. james.wilson
    Lol that's a 0.1A load issue
  23. james.wilson
    If its reporting ac fail on 103 I'd start there. Measure ac side and dc side. Asuming that's all OK id assume a smart PSU failure
  24. james.wilson
    You sure Al? I agree it depends on the size of the claim but not using your brakes if available might be a reason to avoid paying a claim?
  25. james.wilson
    Probably 1.5A cos an old 1A linear could
