Service Engineer Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 Digicoms only a small percentage, most customers didn't want the facillity and were happy with Alarm Abort instead. Everything else, always signalling o/c. ........................................................ Dave Partridge (Romec Service Engineer) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Teague Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 We've still got many digi's on 0800 reporting No's & they send o/c to the ARC, as well as other things such as mains fail. Since our ARC dropped 0800, we ask the client if they want o/c, otherwise it's abort as above. I predict a thread sometime (not too long) after EN50131 kicks off debating the clients on digi's moaning at their phone bill when digi's have to send daily test signals to the ARC?

Easy money if you can get it. Must remeber to give the clients "Watchdogs" number Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sjennings Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 Thanks for the replies, sorry it's took so long to get back to you. The reason why I asked is that I know of one ARC which states that all new monitored systems should be sending open/closes and they don't differentiate between commercial and Residential premises in terms of alarm handling. I used to work for a large national where all resi's were set up with the abort facility and it was out of genuine interest that I asked the question. Thanks again.
