Apologies, no, as the siren rings this can sometimes vibrate the internal tamper spring from it's position causing a tamper. You can check for a negative return on the tamper wire from the siren at the panel end. At the control panel identify the correct wire from the siren, remove from the control panel and put the negative probe of your multi-meter on it, the positive probe onto a 12+ source, if the tamper loop is complete the multimeter will show c12v, if the tamper loop is broken it will show 0v Be careful there is mains voltage present in the control panel so only do this if you are competent, otherwise call a specialist.

Give us a clue?

Ringing siren caused a tamper? check the tamp return for -v

Get off that fence and tell us what you really think!

they were issued in the mid 90's iirc in these...

They used to issue an 'Approved Installer' credit type card

Beat me to it, we're dinosaurs in comparison with skills that are no longer needed, don't knock plug and play in a few years home security will be wireless plug and play interconnected to your Alexa... Oh...

Unlikely but just a thought, I've never had issues with them but the LED's are easily replaced if you are OK with a decent soldering iron.

Have you tried swapping the RKP's to see if it's a voltage issue?

Very cutting and I'm wiping the tears from my keyboard. Did you get it sorted btw?

It's probably in the bin

Hello from the other side

We'll see...

AS ABOVE, IT'S SKIP FODDER.

Hello and welcome

Movement will cause false alarms, detection inside would also not be ideal for the same reason.

Why do you keep saying you can't afford ADT? Also, are you confident that they can't listen in at any time?

It could also be something as simple as a fuse though...

Battery is recommended every 4 years, however as you rightly note the loft is a piss poor place to fit the panel (thousands are fitted in them though) but the extremities cause premature wear so I'd arrange a new battery whilst you are up there. The battery wont be the cause as the unit is dialing but I'd check voltages and loads in alarm both at the speech jobby and phone lines. The unit itself sounds like it's goosed and the only thing the speech and mic have in common would be the processor so probs not worth fixing.

When was it serviced last?

I agree ref the nuisance but if you have it installed and maintained properly your neighbours won't know what your alarm sounds like. Does seem a bit scientology to me though...

@JonJR if you are happy with it and are aware of it's limitations then good for you I say, but this is nothing like the offerings of a proper company. Ref the repair I guess it's not under any sort of maintenance agreement that covers call outs?

The majority of bookies have bells only, hardly a good example of a company who takes security seriously. You're comparing apples with pears.

At what cost?

I'd be looking at external beams
