David12 Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 My parents new home has an old Hilclare 1011 alarm installed. There are no instructions - does anyone know how we can get hold of some ? Also, is there anything behind the door - which seems to be held in place with a screw ? Is it safe to remove screw and open the door while still connected to mains ? Until they understand how to work it they would like to turn off the mains to the unit - but can't see how to do this - is the switch in the box perhaps ? Any help much appreciated please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

norman Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 You need to find out what detection there is on the system, at that age I wouldn't be surprised if it's a detector, a door contact and probably a (disconnected) pressure matt. Once you know this you can systematically work our what detection is in part set v full set. There may be a fused spur nearby, alternatively it can be done inside the panel but it hurt's if you get it wrong so personally I recommend you get someone over to check it out or even down-power it for you. 2 Quote Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.

Assuming they have purchased the property, all the books & service info should have been requested by their solicitor Its an alarm from the 1980's , it predates PDF, the internet, the mobile phone ect...
