  • The reed is just little bit of metal in glass tube....   I reckon most of the branded alarm contact manufactures buy in the same Reeds...   The gases escapes for the glass tube &am

  • I think these contacts have done you proud. Time to replace them.

  • there on surfaces which are stepped apart, a "chunky contact" does 30-40mm gap I wouldn't fit then in the locations you've got

Why do you need 22 contacts anyway? You only need to put them on external entries/exits, let the PIR's do their job.

I notice since I installed my new SW 10-70 panel, I haven't had any false alarms. Separate tampers for each zone, so the sum of series resistances is less (11 sensors plus junction boxes, bell box, keypads etc). Maybe the immunity against transients spikes  and  bad connections due to tarnished tamper connections in junction boxes is better?

True story this, today after 3 years in storage we wheeled out our (new at the time) Bosch dishwasher and said goodbye to the crappy built-in one that came with the house.

 

To my annoyance, it went into error 5 minutes after every cycle, even though it had been cleaned and drained before we moved.

 

What was it? The flow switch uses an externally mounted reed over a sealed into the main water jacket rotating wheel with magnet. Jammed shut. Mild percussion maintainance fixed the machine :)

So, I've decided to take my work back underground.... to stop it falling into the wrong hands

 

Don't worry we've got 2 whippets and an outside toilet so you wouldn't feel too left out!

What firmware is on panel?

Not sure, it's two years old. Why do you ask?

Just wondering how you update it , your in Ireland yes? 

 

Updates allow you to use some new devices that come out and fix any issues , although mostly I only needed to update for devices , firmware seems stable otherwise
