Wait a couple of minutes, reconnect the battery and switch on the mains. Would that reset the panel? Or would it loose all the codes when power is restored. Ie all the other zones would they be operational if no dips are touched Thank you You ever see terminator? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

norman Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 They never really took off, fitted a few from memory were part of a trial. Fitted hundreds of both above. Quote Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
datadiffusion Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 (edited) What the magnet jobbies or the actual Arn1e product? I've got a brand new magnetic one in the stores but no magnet key! Not sure where it came from or why I keep it.

norman Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 The magnetic ones were used by both Modern and ADT I still have a couple of leather fobs somewhere. The smaller elmdene ones were the replacement and had a set led in the ring which were never used because of the regs but seemed light years ahead of the mag ones. Both had a really positive action, the mag with a clunk as it drew the ball bearing up and the other had a really nice quality 'click' to it. I only fitted maybe 1/2 dozen ARN1E ones and tbf I think they were over engineered for the application, ADT obviously thought they were overpriced. From memory they were 3-4 times the cost of the others. If I can find the fob I'll post it out to you, neither are new sadly though. 1 Quote Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.

datadiffusion Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 (edited) That would be ace - let me know and I'll hapilly email a prepaid RM label. I actually fitted a few of the LED ones including on my own house (once, bizarrely one of the parcel guys commented "how cool it was and where could he buy one") because I'd wired it to trigger the doorbell as well as ET. I did actually use the LED ones for various purposes, since no-one was going to tell me off for it. Fitted one arnie and have both(?) models on the shelf. Can't now imagine when I'd ever fit any ET. Agree about the arnie since when was ET vandalism a massive issue anyway? If it was I guess at least it would usually happen overnight, after setting, given the premises the whole day to get a call in!

norman Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 lol, just remembered where one is, it's in a rental so I looked on the inventory and sure enough.... You're welcome to it the next time I visit. I'll check the garage for the other too. Quote Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.

Johnc Posted May 3, 2020 Author Share Posted May 3, 2020 I believe its the reed switch that has failed. Any advice on which type to buy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterJames Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 In your shoes Id buy a grade 1 surface contact and remove the reed from that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
