Reddwarf4ever Posted July 5, 2019 Author Share Posted July 5, 2019 Sent a long reply, which I assume needs moderating before it’s posted. have contacted a different alarm company, who helped me out some years ago when the PSU failed on the main board and a repair was made. he is coming Monday, £75 + VAT for an hour, which he said will be ample time to remove the zones and remove the wiring from the alarm panel......job done.....I am sure it’s not beyond me, but can’t fund the option in engineer mode to remove the zones, so will bite the bullet and pay to have it done. thanks for all the advice....

Specialist Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 (edited) Why are you disconnecting the original smokes ?. Really makes no sense, are they causing problems or have some failed ?. You really are downgrading your fire protection by a huge amount. Hope for your sake you don't have a fire. You can actually buy a half decent spec smoke detector that's compatible with most alarms for less than £15.00 each. Edited July 5, 2019 by Specialist Customers Love us, Intruders Hate us.

Quote he has probably is costing more than standalones, so he probably thinking get rid them as he doesn't want extra ones on ceiling , then goes buys £5 smokes which still works out cheaper all the smokes plus the £75+vat , than having them replaced, system tested and so on Edited July 5, 2019 by al-yeti Brexit Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/42915-gardtec-840-removing-smoke-alarms-from-panel-and-program/page/2/#findComment-485821 Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixwheeledbeast Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 £5 smokes are going to be ionisation which may not be the same or the correct type of detection.
