I cant tell you to open the panel - you could kill yourself as there is mains voltages inside.

That particular panel cant be told to flash its version number on hte keypad - No.

Your programming looks right

I would make sure you set the bell time longer - then make sure its dialling your mobile through the speech dialer.

If it goes of it would need to be investigated anyway - plus you would know it has gone of because of a first activation on the SD1+

Does the dialler ALWAYS dial - even on a second activation??

The eprom can be changed - but is VERY easily damaged and I wouldnt have thought menvier would supply public.

This was only a thought as to the panel version as I use 690's myself and have alot of them out - some did have version issues.

Please dont go openning up the panel - I think you really need a pro in if you want to investigate further.

If the panel is going into full alarm on first activation and youve set your re-arms to more than 1 - and it does dial your mobile - then providing you respond when it goes of the first time - you shouldnt have a problem.

I know this isnt ideal though.

Thanks for the info !

I *did* install the system myself, so I am okay with opening it up etc - I mainly do CCTV and that, this is my first foray into actual alarm systems.

Anyway, the label on the chip says v5.4.05 - so I have the lastest edition with all the fixes ?

About the dialler - I'll plug it in again and try it tomorrow (don't want to try setting this off again tonight for fear of upsetting the neighbourhood).

No probs - didnt mean to patronise you

Ill keep thinking and get back to you.

as stated by another user of this board it is the 690 isnt it? - and not the newer little brother 590?

Is it a 690ID or a plain 690?? - I think by your version number it must be the 690 - looking at menviers site.

S'okay, no offence taken. I'm also a computer programmer by background so I'm more than miffed at a dang 'puter getting the better of me

Yep, it's a plain TS690.

If worst comes to worst, I'll factory-reset the thing and start again but I'd love to know where it had originally gone wrong.

Let us know how you get on - ill have another think and post tommorow If i come up with any ideas.

Regards, Dave.

O - and bells re-arm DOESNT mean the system has re-armed as that is logged seperatly

Check menu 1 option 9 - number 31 is set to NO

yeah, config option 31 is "N" (Bells on confirm)

BTW I'm registered with Menvier's site but have forgotten my password. Will have to fill in their form and send it off again.

O well, me out of ideas...

You could try tommorow a complete power down i.e. remove mains AND batt and reconnect after say 20 secs or so without doing a NVM clear. - You will only loose the date and time doing a power down reset, try this tommorow.

Failing that try the NVM clear or default - and just set the zones back up again and keep default settings to test.

Its not a panel I've used but here's my ten bobs worth,

Have you tried it without the
