Has anyone actually heard of someone defeating a g2 contact with magnets externally?. In thirty years I have not come across it, nor any colleagues I have spoken with!
Seems current M.O. for bad guys is crash grab and dash!.

If you've checked all three fuses and your battery leads are connected correctly to the pcb. If your panel doesn't die when you pull the mains fuse with a fresh battery connected, then certainly it's your main board. On the plus side, you've got some spare batteries now! I managed to do the same to a G2 by connecting the battery the wrong way around.

Joined this party a little late.
Am not an electrician but surprised the accident was blamed on a connection that was too tight! (page 7, 6.4)
Thought F/tight was an electrical requirement!

Perhaps if it was powered through the movement sensor. and became active only when movement detected?
-
Could you use a dashcam?
Current draw 1A/Hr or power it through an ext movement sensor >20mA

Until a couple of years ago I had a couple of record player communicators. Nobody wanted them. Got fed up tripping over them so dumped them. Could've been the jewel in your crown.

Sweet, is that Arf?

Fair play. Sounds like your a man with a few interesting stories. Is Terry Dibley one of your people?

Peter Are you employed or independent?
P.S. You don't happen to write books do you?

Ah yes Arf. Now I remember, Worked for 20 alarm companies and gave them each 10 years service!

I get any 4mm, I sell it to the scrap man! too heavy for me, and doesn't hide well under carpets!
Hey al-yeti, does super member+ mean what I think it does?

Training was for other people. I set forth with cutters, screwdriver and a fire extinguisher. Never needed the fire ex, but needed a plumbers toolkit a couple of times!
As for finding tsi on asta vista your a pretty big operation, Embedded in most alarm related questions posted.

Sorry datafusion, not getting the arf joke. Either in house humor or over my head.
Call me Arf, call me Ron, but never call me clever!

A scantronic 9100 to replace an old modern74 panel fully loaded with all doors, windows and pressure pads. Being new to the job I Yanked the old panel off in seconds flat, cutting off all the old cabling.
Now left with a dozen "too short" multicores sticking out of the wall and no idea what they did or where they went. Lesson learnt.

Hello folks. Joined Modern alarms in 1987 when the only qualifications required were an ability to not need sleep and to keep smiling regardless.
Started with single zone panels with end of line batteries and kilometers of cc wire tacked to floors and ceilings behind hardboard, with tube and batten windows.
Used to put mains voltage down them to find the weak joints. Just had to make sure no kids about. The company then, was in such flux that if you could stick it for a year they paid long service pay and two days extra holiday. Still hanging on for my "30 years service free pen!"
Ron.

I understand anti mask on detectors, Have seen magnets removed and stuck on contacts. But have never seen anyone attempt to introduce a foreign magnet to a contact, which begs the question, are g3 contacts overkill especially with their reliability issues.
