Hi all hope you can give me a few pointers as I'm an alarm virgin

The house I have just moved into has a Veritas control panel it looks pretty old and has no LCD screen or model number on it. During the 4 weeks we have lived here the phone line has been extremley poor mainly due to a continous crackle but every now and then you can here a sound similiar to the one you get should you leave the phone off the hook.

Had a BT engineer around who Identified that the alarm was the problem and couldn't do much for us.

I can only assume that the alarm was monitored at some point but we dont need this facility. Ive had a look in the "brains" of the system and think I have Identified the phone wires however the alarm sounds when I pull any. Is there anyway around this or do I need an engineer

Many thanks in anticpation

Engineer needed

It needs reprograming, an engineer is the only way i am afraid.

Veritas R8 Plus. Either that or comms of the bell relay, seen that loads of times!

yep you are right..mind you have come accross an installer today who is still working/quoting to bs 4737 and still getting police response

how do they get away with it???????

im not amazed anymore, some people used to refuse to design to dd243 as they didmt beleive in it. I used to get so p!ssed off

Watch the R8 plus, if you delete phone lines you have to follow a sequence or it still thinks its connected..............nasty little things they were.

Yep there's has always been the R8+ with digi outputs there was also the the digitas with 8 channel digi built in the board, not forgeting the metal ones fitted with the plug on stu board under the pcb....
