Lwillis Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Well said Lwillis, should have phoned a reputable when the problem first emerged. Well I never said reputable..... OP -Check the SSAIB and NSI For a local approved installer. If you let us know what area your in maybe we can reccomend someone local to you.

charlie6 Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Is there anything wrong with the term 'reputable' ? I'll change it if there is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuvoc Posted August 27, 2015 Author Share Posted August 27, 2015 (edited) Thanks all. The original installation company is SSAIB(UKAS) accredited, but it seems he doesn't know the system as well as he should. He relies on the knowledge of whoever he employs at a point in time, and I think he was without someone for a while and that is where his own less than comprehensive knowledge became apparent. Â I'm not worried about someone cutting the line, but I wanted to know what would happen if there was a fault with the line while the system was armed. From what you are saying, I gather that won't cause the alarm to go off. Â I am in Carshalton, Surrey, which is not that far from Wimbledon if you don't know it. Any recommendations gratefully accepted, and I'll look at SSAIB website, I didn't know it existed. Â Looks like these people have experience of the Homeywell system http://www.jtssecurity4u.co.uk/#!intruder-alarm/c1ilm Edited August 27, 2015 by Tuvoc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie6 Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 "..The original installation company is SSAIB(UKAS) accredited, but it seems he doesn't know the system as well as he should..." Think I'd better stick to 'reputable' then Lwillis, under the circumstances. "...I'm not worried about someone cutting the line, but I wanted to know what would happen if there was a fault with the line while the system was armed..." Can't tell you on open forum, but be assured that any 'reputable' engineer will give you the answer on a face to face basis. If it were a system installed by someone else in my own home I would most definitely be worried "..about someone cutting the line.." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james.wilson Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 A line cut on a low security system will cause absolutely nothing to happen, but when you get back and disarm and find you have been burgled it will tell you on the display you have a line failure Quote securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.

charlie6 Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 A line fail (LF) mod will cause a local alarm where fitted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuvoc Posted August 29, 2015 Author Share Posted August 29, 2015 Two conflicting answers there ? I'm going to call in at JTS Security when I get a chance and discuss with them - get a feeling for their knowledge of the system and costs for changing the setting and taking over the system.

charlie6 Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 OK. As Admin points out quite correctly, nothing will happen on a line fail. However, if you fit a Line fail module at the control panel this shall cause a local alarm when the line is cut.. Having said that, I haven't seen one of these modules in any of the trade warehouses for several years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james.wilson Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 c6, does 50v mean an alarm will be delivered when needed?
