Hi everyone,

Firstly, thanks for you replies.

Opening the panel is no problem for me considering I personally installed the alarm just 3 weeks ago.

james,

i thought it was a plastic panel so oops! my error (Gardtec Fan), and a big thanks Mr Happy.

i think i would ask for a replacement transformer as kit being so new, still thats for you to decide.

noisy trannies can seem to be cured by adjusting the fixings, but usually return later, especially if the core plates are loose there is no real cure and will only get worse.

i'd still mount the panel on a 20mm ply or chipboard base as described, on any domestic site if on a partition wall. no 'standard' decree's this it's just one of my little eccentric ways - i hate any avoidable go backs .

hmm - anyone voluntary for transalting that in to a pure neglish..

Afraid I have to agree with Arfur, however, don't bother getting new trans as already tried this before with a new scanny suffering same problem. It's an unlucky choice of positioning of the panel and the only way to minimise (for good) is to mount on a firmer base..

hi ALSEC,

noisy trannies used to be a speciallity on Tunstal panels (like the ts 600 and CRAP6), now Scantronics have cornered the market in them, still so nice to see they all like to follow 'competative' trends.

i think the main problem in design is the outer casing on the trannie, the fixing lugs are to thin as is the 'C' out case, no doubt due to cost conciderations when bargaining for bulk at source - a few pence saved here, a few pence their = a nice fat bonus for the accounts manager at christmas or perhaps i'm just a crochety old synic .
