agreed. I prefer sounders than speakers personally, hi-lo's particularly
-
its long obsolete. you need a 9800 keypad for a 9800 panel, like asking about using a fiat ecu on a citreon engine etc
-
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?
-
OP U fortunately as a DIY grade system I doubt any of our members will have installed your system only removed them when upgrading
-
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
-
It's not a very respected manufacturer anymore that why Mr h is saying bin it. How old is it, when last serviced etc?
-
meter the tamper return from the sounder to check its not that causing your tamper
-
check the sab tamper too?
-
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
-
there was a protocol it was called open ip. But only manufacturer that supported it and made product was gjd
-
yes

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
-
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?
-
Probably 1.5A cos an old 1A linear could

System standard vs component standard are very different things. At the moment using components to Gx makes a system, however you seem to be advocating a system standard which we dont currently have?
-
It's not the middle if an insurer can reduce the payout they will. That's why loss adjusters exist. Unfortunately a lot of people assume they have insurance and assume in the never going to happen event that they need to claim they can. Then they look. We only look because of what we do
-
Agreed but still needs caution a 1A psu supplying 500mA would need a 6 A/h battery to last 12 hours. then the same to recharge but if you factor a 10% derate for age over 3+ years it would take you over. Some would still run a 1A psu at 0.95A anyway

15min cutoff now and 30 min iirc for battery calc only in as much as the psu has enough capacity to run the system and recharge the battery in the recharge time required. ie leaving 100mA isnt enough unless it a 1.2 A/h
