ROB5AK Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Hi folks would be grateful of some advice, have fitted an infinate prime and everything working ok except for the dialler, I have wires 2 and 5 going into left hand terminals and not using the terminals with the phone showing, getting no tones after phoning second time as directed, installation manuel is a bit hit and miss unless you are an experienced installer, any input would be gratefully appreciated, regards Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alarm Protection Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Dont know much about the panel Rob but if there is broadband installed then a filter should be used. Hope that helps ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

farker Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 if you have a meter check the voltage across the terminals.... should be around 48-60v. and if phone is ringing 96-100v Are you wiring into the back box or patching a telephone cable in? Try different cable? Is there a phone connected? can you connect one if not and test line is working ok. If I have read the question correctly it is working a little bit..... the reason why I say check the wires is had a lot of problems with a modem once that was due to a faulty connection..... worked a little bit so spent lots of time looking at the wrong thing because the line was thought to be ok.

ROB5AK Posted January 30, 2009 Author Share Posted January 30, 2009 Thanks Newbie, the burgler alarm is working ok, just that I cant get the autodialler working (seems a black art to me this telephone stuff) what I have done is buy a telephone extension cable and take the end of it, wires 2 and 5 being red and white of I drawing I seen of the web, attached the 2 wires to the line terminals in the alarm, programmed the panel as per the instructions and went out to a telephone box and phoned as per instructions, my regards Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some phone cables use varnish coated copper and will not make a good connection when just stripped... sometimes using a lighter to melt varnish will work. If the copper cable is red or green translucent colour or looks and feels like thread it could be that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
