Just been to a simple panel swop-out , get rid or that old ZX6....

1 door contact , 2 pirs , 1 panic button , 1 bellbox (no SAB) with flashing led , all wired off one 8 core cable..

This company have literally thousands of systems in and around the Greater Manchester area..

I often wondered how they can do an install for under

But are you telling us you hashed it back together like they did it, or did you take the lot out and start again. If you did the 1st then surely you as bad as them? Food for thought!

Walked..

4+1 * alarms? I've seen their work and it is completely shambolic at best. Up there with M I P and Key West (more like wild west) here in Wigan. All chucked in, with PIRs on doorframes, 3 core wiring to PIRs, open splices under carpets, panels like birds nests, no batteries in panels, bell cable and upstairs PA button cable wrapped together in brown insulation tape where they come from under the carpet in the hallway and go up the stairs along the skirting board. One of them is SSAIB too

I ripped one out the other week in bolton

1 x 8 core to the landing then a mega tape joint to 2 contacts a pir and the bell

what made it worse was the omnicron panel.

4 + 1 Star and all the other muppet installers round here want shooting.

I took over 5 jobs in wigan installed by M * P

and found not one had a battery of any kind on the system.

Ended up pulling the lot out and starting again

Would'nt mind it had been 1st fixed by building contractors.???

We replaced an alarm for a 70 year old disabled lady.

The other one was an Optima with no battery, 2x rubbish pirs, cheap sounder with sab not connected. She had been charged

It gets right on my tits so called installers like blatently ripping off people especially old and sometimes vunerable people. These blokes have got no morals at all.

Went to one once and found the mains wired off a socket to the panel with no fuse spur in 6 core under the carpet 2 for pos, 2 for neg and green and white for earth.

I disconnected it and walked away and never wnet back.
