    All sorted and working thanks again SWB

    Is it both Reds that need cut? One for the switch and one for the tamper?

    I've attached the image from the manual. 4k7 and 2k2 both seem to be a red link as I'm understanding it.

    Hi, I've recieved the SC570 contacts today. Am I right in thinking that I need to remove both Red B links? Thanks
  5. Macca80
    Thanks I'd seen the SC570 earlier and have now ordered. Thank you both for your help it's much appreciated.

    OK thanks. My PIRs have selectable resistors set to 4k7 and 2k2. I've tested the system today everything's working fine apart from the door contacts. I did plenty of reading up, but I didn't realise I'd need contacts with resistors for EOL wiring.

    No there wasn't

    Hi, Yes there's no resistors in the existing door contacts so from what I've read that's the issue. The old alarm was an Accenta S Mini Can you recommend any contacts with inbuilt resistors? Thanks.

    Hi, I'm currently replacing a Honeywell alarm system with the Premier Elite 24. I have completed the installation and everything is working as it should apart from the two wired door contacts which are showing tamper alerts. Can anyone offer any advice on how to resolve this issue? The current wiring only uses two cores in the contact and then the appropriate panel zone. Thanks in advance for any advice!

    Hi, I'm currently installing a Texecom Premier Elite 24 - metal version. In the box there is a bag with the tamper screw, metal clip and a small piece of plastic. I can't find any information about what the metal clip and plastic are used for. I assume the metal clip is a spare for the one already fitted on the cover. Can anyone offer any advice on what the small piece of plastic is used for? Thanks in advance!

    Thanks

    After my electrics tripped the other day the PIR sensor in my living room is constantly activated. Can anyone offer a solution to this? ADE Accenta+ System

    Why would you need to upgrade just because of a couple of false activations (in fact activations for no known reason)?

     A couple of false alarms from one sensor in a short time period could indicate a developing problem. Change the sensor their cheap enough (and easy enough to do). If on separate sensors then this might just be statistically random event.

    If you are looking at upgrading for different reasons (enhanced features etc) then identify the features your require (such as remote access) and find the product that provides these features. Provided it is a Graded product (suggest Grade 2 minimum) it is "good". Best is too subjective as some engineers favour one panel as best over other panels.

    Don't forget to upgrade detectors as well - these are the source devices and the cause of most false alarms if not correctly selected or positioned

    If I am looking to upgrade my wired system is there a system which is seen as the best currently? The monitoring isn't essential. I've just had a couple of random activations with my current system which have I have had professionally checked but with no fault identified. I just want something reliable.

    Hi all, I'm looking for some advice regarding upgrading my current Honeywell alarm system. The current system is wired with 4 pir sensors and two door contacts. I would ideally like a system which has app / mobile phone control / alerts. I have previously installed a couple of wireless DIY systems but would like to keep a wired system. However if there is a highly rated wireless system I'd consider that. I have read good things about the Enforcer v10 but the yearly cloud charge has put me off. Can anyone recommend a good system which may be suitable? I am happy to get a professional fitter if needed.
