datadiffusion Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Had to call the helpline a few times, turned out I was fitting it at the wrong house, was trying to force the transformer plug into a light bulb socket, and was spending more than 5 minutes on each job... ...They are moving me up to Platinum Installer Level on Monday! So, I've decided to take my work back underground.... to stop it falling into the wrong hands Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/26730-yale-aint-so-bad/page/11/#findComment-441763 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Night Owl Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 The pwermax also looks ok other than the need for the 240v for the siren. Putting spurs in downstairs near the supply is no problem. trying to find a ring main in an attic is altogether different. Eh? The siren is wireless too, literally AC mains to the panel and off you go! I'm going to be honest, I serviced a Yale system a few weeks ago, it was easy. Changed all the batts too, but they was just standard Alkaline batteries! A intruder alarm needs to be relaible and with that Li-ion batteries should be used too. At the end of the day, it is DIY and as professional installers shouldnt we be promoting equipment that has years of R+D and capitial plouged into it?

Sirtoddius Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Seen the new Honeywell (branded at least) DIY tastic http://www.screwfix.com/p/honeywell-home-garden-wireless-burglar-alarm-kit/5314j This alarm has become my nemesis. My next door neighbours have fitted one and because the bell is the panel it beeps every time they set and unset it. Which is normally about midnight and 5 am. That's without the random beeps throughout the day.
