Vini Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Hey all, just in the process of rejigging the alarm, and it's been a while since I've tinkered with the wired stuff... I want to switch a single PIR for a Shock on my G2-20... Forgetting the 'quality' of the wiring, how would this transplant over to the Viper? And resister location?? Thanks in advance!

Lwillis Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 1k across tamper, From one side of tamper into 1 side of alarm Out of empty alarm back to panel Aux + Aux- Is the shock self resetting? The older ones wernt. And used to have to fit a normally closed push button on the panel to drop the power for a second for it to reset.

It's a brand new Viper GLX, I don't understand the above, but am assuming I don't need to do anything funky? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arfur mo Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 you need to reduce those bare wires, cut them down so casing nearly meets the connector block. be careful the resistors in the picture don't short out due to bare resistor leads and your exposed cable ends, which can happen as you close the lid. nice touch is to use some sleeve casing stripped from larger size surplus cable, and put it over the resistor leads. Just released what I wrote was a load of ********. Sod it off to bed. just as well you 'released' it the . Quote If you think education is difficult, try being stupid!!!!

antinode Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Like this CP.JPG Excuse the CAD drawing Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm sure last time I fitted an EV-105, the neg is on the outside with the pos next to it (the link is the negative control line for the LED) Call out at 3am , non stop all day since, finished at 6 No rest time?

antinode Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 (edited) Not sure if you were jesting but an hour for an hour after 12am, ie go out on call at 1am, get back home at 3am, report into work at 11am (presuming you start at 9 of course) Edited May 23, 2013 by antinode Quote Trade Member Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lwillis Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Yeah was only kidding, I'd have to check my contract if it's in there, but tbh I don't get that many calls and quite enjoy the peace being away from the missus on calls lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norman Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Anti how does it work (wolf) ie you do a night on call and get some etc hour for hour recovery time after midnight, out for 3 hours (from leaving house to walking back in) start 3 hours later the following day.

I'll look out for that. Thanks for the tip with the bare wires too. This is just hooked up temp so I know what goes where whilst the room is refurbed.

Lwillis Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 How does that work if you have a call booked for 9am? Just cancel it? If no other engineers are avliable that is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixwheeledbeast Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 hour for hour recovery time after midnight, out for 3 hours (from leaving house to walking back in) start 3 hours later the following day.I am sure we've covered this before. Some places don't care what you did last night your still expected in for half 8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norman Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 How does that work if you have a call booked for 9am? Just cancel it? If no other engineers are avliable that is? Shouldn't be booking calls for you before 12 if you are on call prev night (I say shouldn't..) I am sure we've covered this before. Some places don't care what you did last night your still expected in for half 8. Then they are wrong and you need to look elsewhere for someone who values your wellbeing and safety, duty of care and all that. Quote Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.

Last place I worked at had the rest time but I usually ended up going in for 9 anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tired myself, wide awake at 4 am, work and work, plus more work. Just took the colours as granted. Shouldn't be booking calls for you before 12 if you are on call prev night (I say shouldn't..) That ideal world again. In many years never had time off or a late start unless I fell asleep in a coma. Old call outs used to take all weekend there were that many. (Good money but no sleep).

sixwheeledbeast Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Shouldn't be booking calls for you before 12 if you are on call prev night (I say shouldn't..) There normally always a domestic customer that ask for a first call or early AM. Then they are wrong and you need to look elsewhere for someone who values your wellbeing and safety, duty of care and all that. I agree it is wrong, but is the grass greener? Working/driving tired is tant amount to being under the influence. Agreed As I have said previously if I was tired enough for it to effect my driving I'd phone in as not fit to drive.

Lwillis Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 My first call tomorrow is booked for 9am (well between 9-12) in penrith. I'm on the coast near Newcastle upon Tyne. So about a 2hr drive to get to site. I could potentially get a call at 6am be out for 3 hours. Which would mean I'm pushing back jobs and won't get in until late and will miss appointment times. As others have said its not ideal but it's a means to a way. Climbed out of a bedroom window the other day and stood on a small pitched roof to replace a Bell. ( longest laddders wouldn't reach over the small extension). Wouldn't get a cheery picker in either. I decided the risk was okay to do it.
