Great stuff, many thanks for clearing that up.

Hi everybody, Hope everybody is well? The most simple of questions has stumped me (well, I am a DIY'er!). I'm installing a Pyronix Enforcer. There is no earthing cable from the transformer in the panel - just live and neutral. But, in the installation manual it says it needs to be earthed. I automatically presumed with it being a plastic panel it wouldn't need earthing? (There isn't even an 'earth' symbol on the panel as you may see on appliances requiring an earth). Please could somebody point me in the right direction on this one, please? Thanks in advance

Many thanks for the reply and for posting the link. Apologies for delayed response, I've not had access to my E-Mail for a while so didn't get the notification.

Actually, nor can I come to think of it... Lol

All good points for me to consider. Thanks There would be one approved installer in that radius. And yes, the sub contractors pay the fee, but it does have the perks mentioned (if that's the right word lol).

Thanks James

Sound advice. Really appreciate your reply.

Makes sense. Thanks for your input

Good advice. Thanks for your reply.

Hi all, Sorry all, I don't really know what to call this query; it's not 'setting up business' per sé, but is related... A national company approach you. They ask if you pay a fee to become an 'approved installer', you get little things such as Window/Van stickers, new uniform with your/their logo and all that, but you also would get paid to install all alarms on behalf of this company with a 30 mile radius of your base, as well as all alarm maintenance etc. All alarms and accessories are supplied. There are no restrictions on you continuing to fit your own alarms. Plus you benefit from their nation TV/radio advertising etc. So it's almost like a franchise, but your still your company and working for yourself. Would this be worthwhile? And how much would you be looking to get per Wireless Alarm install under something like this? Thanks I advance.

Many thanks for this informative reply, I really appreciate it. I now feel like I know the flaws of these types of systems, and think when I move house I will switch to a decent Wired one. Thanks again to all the really helpful replies. I've been unable to give anybody 'kudos' which I thought was because I was using the Mobile Site, but I'm on a PC and still can;t, so I'm guessing it is because I'm new? Either way many thanks for the replies everyone

Thanks for this really helpful post. I appreciate the explanation too. This makes much more sense now so thanks again. I'm moving house soon, and there is already a wired system in, so I I can get that services and it is working ok, I think I will use that instead! Sorry for another basic question, but would a two way alarm communication between panel and accessories confirming system armed? Can't give 'kudos' on my Mobile for some reason, but will do when on a PC!

Oh :/ Sorry I must have misunderstood! As I'm sure you can tell, I am not very knowledgeable about Alarms - in fact, I didn't know there was so much to Alarms until I recently found this Forum! But I am finding it all very interesting! So, sorry to be such a noob but if the frequency isn't the issue with security; please can you explain what is?

Thanks for replying and providing the link. I did have a read; it was mainly referring to the old Yale systems being problematic due to low frequency. I have the 'Easy fit' telecommunicating alarm which uses the same frequency as the Pyronix Enforcer, so I feel a little better now Thanks again for the info.

Hi all, New to the Forums, so apologies if in wring section; mods please move if needed. There's lots of posts slating Yale products, but I can't understand why? Is it because they are ungraded? Or is there another reason I should know (I have one myself!). Sorry if this is a basic question. I searched, but could find nothing saying why they were bad, just that they are! Thanks in advance.
