Kevalino Posted July 9, 2017 Author Share Posted July 9, 2017 Case closed, then, what an idiot I've been! The Tyco thing I wouldn't have known but I'm sure I read the MCS730 worked with a Powermaster but obviously not! Thanks to all for your help.

datadiffusion Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 (edited) Yep I think you can't assume it's the ADT version just because of a Tyco label. Tyco logo is all over non-ADT Visonic web pages, data sheets, etc... Edited July 9, 2017 by datadiffusion 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/41381-visonic-powermaster-10-help/page/2/#findComment-465664 Share on other sites More sharing options...

TAM Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 (edited) If unsure of the compatability of the kit and if it should be used in the UK, let me have images of the information labels for the Powermaster 10. The MCS Siren is for the Powermax range. You need an SR-740 PG2 Has the Powermaster 10 been installed? To install the Plink the panel must be fully powered down then fit the module in the correct position on the board with the appropriate ribbon cable. You need to connect the Plink to the router - must be hard wired. Configuration is fairly involved but access is available to a free Visonic/Tyco server Can call over and install etc. as not too far from Manchester Hope this is of use Edited July 15, 2017 by TAM Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/41381-visonic-powermaster-10-help/page/2/#findComment-465935 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevalino Posted July 15, 2017 Author Share Posted July 15, 2017 Thank you. I have gone through the installation with an experienced Visonic engineer and discovered that the firmware is out of date. I have to decide whether to attempt flashing.

TAM Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 Firmware has been changing over the last few years but most PG2 components are fully compatible, few exceptions are the Plink - you may need an older version - but the siren should be fine. However, Powercode (Powerwmax) and PG2 (Powermaster) are completely different.

TAM Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 By the way, do not attempt to flash the firmware yourself. This really should be done by an approved supplier or Visonic themselves, your friendly engineer should know who to contact, if not he can call me and can point him in the right direction.
