    Thanks everyone, we got it working on the bench. He was giggling away setting then triggering it by cracking open the keypad, then the bell box, then the panel then... Thank you so very much.

    A very long time ago I once turned down a job on the Falkland Islands... earlier in the year in Bristol the sparks had recently done a different job there ! I'm even worse in real life.... The yesterday the sparky was playing his odd taste in music, he likes every thing but "drill rap" Me being me, you know what the problem the drill rap is ? The Makita boys hate the Dewalt boys who both hate the Milwaukee boys Today he was playing classical music, he doesn't know what the track is called, but I know its off the stella advert....

    A battery one struggled to test high temp heats

    Thanks @PeterJames this has already been very helpful, and now I know about HKC! (very happy to have stumbled upon this community - you’ve all been very helpful and already a fan of @MrHappy )

    What's your battery charging voltage I'm guessing it's quite high?
  12. PeterJames
    Coming back to this, does anyone know if the heat battery Solo is not as good as the mains Solo? I have 2 mains Solo's and 4 battery ones, one of my moany engineers keeps saying that we need mains more heat testers as the battery ones are not good enough to test high heats

    What ho one and all, I have an Accenta Gen4 Mini control panel and a single Reson 8 bell box which I installed myself when we built the house 15 years ago. I have replaced the panel battery a few times over the years. Recently when setting the alarm, there was a loud beeping (not the alarm, about two per second) from the sounder, so I did not set. Decided new batteries required so bought replacement 12v for the panel and 6v for the sounder. However, that did not solve the issue. Next easy step, replacement bell box and found a new (but obviously old stock) one on eBay; fitted it yesterday. The installed battery was reading 4.2v so replace that with the new one, reading 6v. Unfortunately, that did not solve the issue. What I found with further testing, the alarm appears to be working fine when running on batteries (no beeping) but when I engage the mains fuse, the alarm sounds (which I cancel with my code) but the beeping continues. Presumably there is an issue with the mains but what? I only originally replaced the batteries; I did not adjust or tighten any of the contacts. I have checked the fuses which are all OK. What can I do next? As an aside, since the new Reson 8 battery is reading 4v, can I put that onto my electronic car battery charger with the 6v option? Many thanks

    I was on holiday in sitting in a cafe in Cheddar Gorge a few years ago watching a chap installing an alarm system in the building opposite. He used a measuring tape to work out where the bell would come out, he drilled the hole and still came out in wrong place right in the centre of a molding. Ive always drilled by eye using common sense and judgement and normally the hole is where I predict it will be, I did a video doorbell for a neighbour once, I was a bit tipsy at the time (Sunday afternoon half a bottle of red), every hole drilled was perfect. He still talks about how I installed his video doorbell drunk

    If you have wifi version then its a simple case of switching on the sim, if you dont have either then its a case of plugging in a module. Im probably the only NSI gold company here that covers South London Al-Yeti covers South London but he is not accredited

    You look after one!

    Thanks to all the collaboration/help here, I have a few more things to look into (HKC, SIM modules) so it’ll stall my plans for a little while. I’d be delighted to get some recommended HKC installers for the South London area (my Wife will insist on NSI/SSAIB registered installer as it will give peace of mind for future requirements or changes ).

    Yes

    Good skills
  25. MrHappy
    Can you pop the new box where the old box was ? Utter fluke
  26. Hollanda
    Of If I opt out of a sim during initial installation, is it fairly straightforward to retrofit a sim later? I imagine it’s some “plug-in” sim module I can add later?
  27. MrHappy
    Normally the alarm having its own SIM works better than trying to daulpath a router All the cool kids use HKC, but not me

    I only know the hkc GSM option that is 4g and WiFi combined Plus the paths are then monitored separately. Polling rates are the thing to consider here. Just cos WiFi is available or 4g signal etc doesn't mean the alarm can transmit data. Proper pro systems poll at regular intervals. Ie grade 4 comms every 30 seconds grade 2 comms every 24 hours. The faster the poll rate the quicker a failure is reported. Plus if a GSM jammer and line cut is performed the quicker an alarm can be generated.
