Cubit Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 I have re3moved quote Arfur As a neutral on intruder, how are the guys on the forum, in all fairness, able to differentiate between your request for information, in what may well be a genuinely innocent situation, and someone trying to circumvent a system?? If the panel is asking for an engineer code/reset then surely, that's what it needs. Or do want the forum to post all engineer codes so all and sundry, including burglar bill, can use them?

Guest anguscanplay Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 i have removed quote and comment Arfur the electrical trade have there own certification schemes and the alarm industry has its own there is a reason we put things on resets and lock down the engineer codes which has nothing to do with taking money off the customer but more to do with efficacy system specifications and insurance approval if youre customer isnt maintained and isnt claiming insurance subsidies then repair away if you dont have enough knowledge we can help to a certain point without compromising security but no further as i said i would charge for this call i would bet the install company would too thats why they came to you ?

Guest Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 last time i fitted optima panels , REMOVED RESTTING INFO - Arfur. not the brightest spark are we Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arfur mo Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 Thanks chris ,im in gee cross too . Thanks for that re the engineers code , bet the engineer didnt leave that so , or likely to give it out. Sounds a bit bit suss though that after a tamper on the bell box you need an engineer to come an press a reset button. Think ill get in on these panels. last time i fitted optima panels , they reset by de energising. What about these babies? hi firstline, i ask this as you say you have 'dabled' in alarms and know the risks from 240 power. the panel might be set to 'reset tampers' by master user code only, so having adjusted/reset the sirens contacts, enter a master users code to see if it clears it. you will know if it is a 'master' code you have had given to you as you can access the 'time and date' menu with it. regs alan If you think education is difficult, try being stupid!!!!

Guest anguscanplay Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 not the brightest spark are we used to fit optimas so probably not worked on a real system before now before we get closed here we have a classic situation were a person has posted mr public type question to which the answer is simple the posted starts by saying a customer of his and then talks about previus experience so we assume he is a trading sparky this he confirms by having a rant about following our industry and starting to charge his customers to reset mcb`s answers given should have helped him to cure a problem he should have been able to solve anyway whilst i enjoy a discussion as much as the next man i am sure if i went onto sparks.co.uk and asked about my tripped mcb the reply would have been get it checked by a competant engineer imo the guy came to have a moan and was really after an engineer code much nicer when people come back on to say wonderfull that worked or sorry didnt work anyway but thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
breff Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 You're all doing well being restrained guys, no abuse has been thrown either way yet, however if this topic does degenerate it will be closed. (Not that thats ever likely to happen ehh ) The opinions I express are mine and are usually correct!
