I'm growing to like the sound of a master blaster in an empty warehouse...

you want the same sized screw driver you'd use on connections inside a fused spur you don't need crimps or anything to terminate resistor or wires* into these PA's (*or iD biscuits) when put the conductor onto the alarms cable, are you cutting a bare bit of 15mm ish with bit of insulation on the end & giving it a twist ? if it was going in a pir you'd cut the end & shove it in.... if going around a screw you'd twist it around & cut the excess off when the screw is tight its pointless looking at the panel readings there only a guide, if its going to play up due to poor termination, place the system in day & firm the device with the handle of your screwdriver

Can't say I have ever had any issues with leaf tampers other than the fact they are easier to smash the lid off on JB's, relying on the one central screw. The more common issue I see are with these type are wiring not wrapped around the screw correctly or snapped or loose resistor lags making intermittent contact It's not mandatory to have switches but most have gone that way as it's easier to manufacture a break out back tamper. You also have the benefit of not seeing the faults above. I also wonder what brand and did you find any evidence to suggest it was the leaf at fault? For the cost of the device if your suspicious of it, may as well be replaced as part of whatever diagnosis you are doing, you have been called out anyway

Doesn't conform, not easy for customers to do/remember if under duress

Be quiet you

Yeah, but ADE is the leader of the local Scout group....

It's the thing we press to ban people, be careful...

Id say every 5 years is fine. Better to replace before panels report it to prevent damage but modern panels seem to do better with failed battery's than the old dumb stuff

If you've got an old A083-00-01 module in that panel, it can cause the panel to reboot if there are network issues. Try syn-flooding the panel network port... Quite a bad bug, especially with a Dimension, as the older E080-4 has the same issue... The A083-00-02, A083-00-10, E080-8 and E080-10 don't suffer from the issue. Also, with more recent firmware on the Flex, you can suppress any comm's issues in menu 51. If you use SelfMon or another ARC, you can leave the path check to them, rather than have the panel beeping all night. I don't believe that Honeywell's server move is anything to do with security, it's more likely to do with Brexit and Honeywell having to move their infrastructure around. What a terrible time to implement a change like this, especially when support is limited due to the lockdown.

yes, we saw the hat....

That's why Mum's go to Iceland
