I did a search on this subject without any luck. I have a number of panels signalling on NTL lines. Two of my systems have recently had the same problem. They send a signal and then the telephone lines go dead. if you disconect the alarm the line clears and the phones and alarm go back to normal. Now i remember NTL used to be 30 volt systems and we used to have problems, but these are now at 40v. Can anyone throw any light on the subject. (aritech and microtech panels)

Thanks

I just want to check the obvious have you tried with a handset connected to make sure its not a resticted line or summit?

Butt direct on line no probs. also escalated to manufacturers, no responce as yet. The thing being both these systems started life as BT.

I had something very similar with a digi on a Teleworst line. You have to ask the line operator (NTL) to do something but im buggered if i know what it was now as it was over a year ago. They have to switch something off or on or turn it inside out or summat, cant think of the technical term!

Try asking the ARC tech help, im sure they will be able to be more specific than i ever will.................shrragginfragginrubbishy alarms i hate em!

This may have nothing to do with it ,but............

Ive got an NTL line and to get my Premier to text me I've had to set it to pulse dial, it just will not work on DTMF.

Intresting! tanks for that.

Something along the lines of what Breff said i think, seems to ring a bell banghead

I honestly cant remember for sure.

Smarty posted something on this subject a while back - IIRC NTl are still sopposed to be 50v, and if need be they can increase this where it is too low.

When you say dead do you mean no voltage.
