Thanks for the advise.

 

Have now had to email risco again. To be honest now i have just about given up with the stupid thing.

Small shed us  saying Tamper with internal alarm going off. Tried 5 times today to fix it by unistalling and then reinstalling the sensor but no good.

Have swapped sensor over with another one and it works fine in that zone but not for shed. Have even tried fitting my spare new sensor to it and also creating a new zone with either the old or new sensor but makes no odds.

 

The system worked fine for a few years but now its knackered i think.

 

Another fault which has happened at the same time is the landing window which has a wireless sensor on it when i open the window when the alarm is not activated it sets the full house alarm off. So i put the flag up,  i need to get some one in now.

 

I ring risco up on monday and find out who are the approved service engineers for the alarm in my area and take it from there now as i carnt do any more. I give up. 

 

Think now could be the time to ditch it. 

Whats one of the more realiable wired and wireless systems out at the minute?

 

 

You need to bin it with all this 

Its looking that way at the minute. I am not surprised alot of risco cpx gear is getting flogged on ebay at the minute.

I tried and failed to fix it myself.  Carnt do any more. 

I think its all to do with its old technology in a modern house. Too much interference from new tvs with WiFi as got two of them and its just a primative system.

 

I see what risco say monday as i see if i can a risco engineer out next week but costs v repair might not bother fixing it now.

He's the last chap who tried a DIY repair of his Gardtec hybrid radio system....

 

 

Lmfao.    Like that. Yes have to see the funny side of it all, lifes to short not too.

Bloody risco gear.

 

I carnt understand why if an alarm is off when i open a landing window it set the full alarm off. Got to be a programing issue with that sensor and the **** panel. I see what risco say next week as i carnt do much more with it.

Ah I had one other day , just about swapped a Pir to another zone lol

 

Why they make it so confusing or was gardtec risco and the wireless all botched together with a few firmware updates ( Mr texe will be reading firmware bit)

well.... Texecom radio stuff is almost as bad as Risco

 

Start deleting & changing devices & you soon find the menus are all over the place & far from logical 

sad thing is Gardtec was imo worth looking at. Risco isn't. Was cheap but shit hik will make Pyronix cheaper and ish. 

ill upvote a Texecom negative comment from a pro

nice to see Texecom and Risco in a comparison

I wish i could make this up.  its a right mess about this risco stuff. 

 

Have taken the zones off the system tonight. And wait to see what i can do next week. No doing any thing until i speak to risco

to be fair its probably knowledge. I'm not a fan but the kit does work, I'm assuming your doing it wrong. As your doing diy and risco are helping you on a product that is years old, you should look at the best supported pro product for diy. I wouldn't use it but quite a few on here do and hold it in high regard
