tommi Posted January 16, 2008 Author Share Posted January 16, 2008 Have you checked the tamper in the control box??If not and it sounds silly it could be a faulty bell and i know it should come up BB but it has happened!I have briefly checked the tamper in the control box and it seems fine. I will check it again (at a more suitable hour !)You're not the 1st to suggest the bell... looks like i need to get the ladder out at the weekendThanksnah its none of the above - simply " stretch " the spring in the keypad they get over compressed and dont quite work in line with the lidI'll gve that a try, thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tommi Posted January 17, 2008 Author Share Posted January 17, 2008 mine first - save yourself a wild goose chase Tried it..... no luck! Is here anything I need to do to the RKP after trying it though? Should I reset it? or should I expect the fault to instantly go away?? Thanks in anticipation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have also 'manually' operated the tamper control and it appears fine. There is clear definition between on and off both audible and by feel. I'm very tempted to upgrade anyway as I would like to add a dialer... i'd be interested to hear what upgrade path you guys would recommend. As for the fault.. i'm determined to fix it first! thanks for all the suggestions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
