garsec Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 lol @ pot reference, i dont do it, so see the electrical reference, and as for relays and resistors, had that very conversation with a colleguge yesterday saying the ypunger generation dont understand it Employed by an NSI GOLD company Any comments or views i have are my own, and do not represent that of my employer or clients.

sjsturner Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 It depends where their learning from i guess. I learnt about resistors capacitors rectification diodes and all the rest on my electrical certs to be a spark but we have some lads that never did electrical learning so how would they know? I wonder if there is still an electronics section in the electrical certs at college nowadays? If you dont know how this stuff works i guess your the equivilant of a parts fitter!

Oxo Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Agreed. One example is a 500ohm resistor ( or two 1k in parallel) will drop noise on a entry system. When the "pots" will fail. Admittedly a fast fix as there is probably a handset dragging the rest down you have no access to. Thanks "garsec" for getting the joke!

arfur mo Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 from hat i've read and without the 'accused' being able to answer, before condemning the engineer to the gallows original charge - could be a simple typo, and he did reduce it considerably. change panel pcb - who is to say it was or was not faulty, might have ad a regulator issue causing low voltage and pir not appearing to be detecting. remote keypads pcb's - they do get dirty like other makes from cooking contaminates in the air and oxidation, is the lady or household members heavy smokers, and so on. difficulty in operation, especially with the elderly could be a responsible reason to replace, as it could discourage a frail elderly nervous person from using the system, but then was it actually being regularly used? quit common older people only set if they go out fir the day, and that might not be for days even weeks, so then lack of use can also cause intermittent keypad issues, and in my opinion they were never of the best construction. i would have cleaned the keypad PCBs, and i do question why the need to change all 3 pcbs, but then given the age they may well be faulty. and again, on age and obsolete why not offer to replace with a later panel for what was likely a similar cost to the repair, but even that is not compulsory, just prudent. As a OMB i have always carried several panels and keypads, now i carry 2 x G600 and Agility kit. For me it is an unwritten rule never to leave a system not working, protection of the client is uppermost - guess that is just old school upbringing. If you think education is difficult, try being stupid!!!!

Boxshifter Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Sounds bent to me. Wouldn't be surprised if he only swapped the PCB's so he could take his faulty PCB's (in new housings) back to some unfortunate wholesaler to swap as faulty and get shiny new replacements.
