Hi there, 

Can someone talk me through the process of powering down and decommissioning our Risco Agility 3 alarm? I think I have the engineers code if that helps. 
many thanks

Ian

Put it in engineers and then get the ladders out, and put your ear defenders on remove bell and dis the battery. this will be noisy and the strobe has high volts.

 

Then down power the panel and remove the rest

Also we wont go into detail on how to kill a security system you could be prepping for a burglary

Thanks Peter

so theres no way of powering down without the bell going off?

I keen to replace with a DIY system to save on the increasing yearly maintenance costs and hoping to be able to decom the system by myself.

is there a market for 2nd hand agility 3 systems? 

One major difference between a proper system and a DIY system is there is no easy way to defeat them or decommission without making a racket...

There is a second hand market for most things.

I would suggest you reconsider carefully, removing a working system to replace for DIY is false economy.

The agility is a diy system? Not even engineers can get around a bell tamper, the bell is  made so that it cannot be compromised without bringing attention to itself.

The problem with not having a service contract is you have no one to call at silly o clock in the morning, when the sounders going and the panel is not responding

QFA Risco is not a great brand but compared to the tat being marketed on Amazon and Ebay, its miles ahead

Peter, you said that the external bell will sound even if I put it in engineers mode.

when the engineers have changed the batteries in the past don’t they put it in antitamper or something to stop it sounding?
