Press the chime button then press the button corisponding to what led's are lit. This will turn off the chime on the zones iluminated.

I hate RSD contacts they fail far to often for my liking. We have started fitting 2 x Guardall DT 15+ at each side of the shutter (with the mask connected as we only fit G3 Galaxy on monitored jobs) Our Fa rate is very low and we dont get stupid callouts to rotten RSD contacts. Even if the job is G2 we connect the mask on 99.9% of the detectors.

Well i thaught i would report back after almost 6 years.... We now have 8 members of staff offices 5 vans/cars on the road and more work than we can cope with and i am stressed out. But on the whole things have gone very well for us but my god it has been a 24/7 job to get here and cost me a few health problems due to being over worked The problem now is keeping on top of all the audits and paper work etc, and we are owed a fortune Thats ths way it is LOL.. If you are thinking of leaving a full time job to start up on your own and intend to make it work get ready for a lot of very hard work and if like me its going to be 12/15 hour days for years... (

I hate staples we do not use them at all and would be very disapointed if i found any of our lads using them.

100% agreed peter, i am not happy unless i am in the thick of it, thats what drives me forward.

LOL I am more stressed than ever with over £70k out standing at any one point.. We have more work on than ever, 7 members of staff and looking at a new engineer in the new year. Trust me dont think its an easy ride cos its not... Thinking back 9 - 5 at Hex was a dream.. but did not get the ££ i needed. I have had shinges this last few weeks due to stress. So dont think its an easy ride, its NOT..... But on the plus side we are picking up loads of installs and most important loads of 3 year contracts

Alarmguard is no spring chicken. LOL

RS50 and 100 not the best thing to program and no NVM in them.

i noticed when we put some fire jobs on the system and after 6 months it did not show a RM due. We almost forgot to service them .. not good

PS : he went to one of our grade 3 jobs aswell.?? Its ready to hand over to my mate with a NSI co. maybe not now

yes,, i have a question ?? if i enter a job as monitored it wont show a RM visit after 6 months ?? is it me?

Quick update: Today we had our SSAIB inspection and passed with out any Deveations at all. Now its time to go out and get them URN numbers.

No advertising at all. Only about 15% of our work is subby work. The rest is self generated or recomendations.

Well chaps its now 6 months since We set up on our own. We have had 3 days in that time with no work. Things are going realy well and we have just taken on our 1st full time engineer, 3 of us now. But i agree with the rest of you i am now working about 100 hours a week inc paper work book keeping etc. We should be SSAIB aproved within the next few weeks. I feel i could never go back to cards in now. : Andy

Do you remember the realy old mats that had a tarton cover on them. I serviced loads of dry cell systems over my time the one's with the end of line flag battery with a diode fitted to them, all well over 30 years old. It had a green lamp on the front that lit up when you pressed the test button if all was clear. The whole house would be run in brown twin a + loop and a - loop in the same cable mats caused a shot and doors went on on of the loops. F,in nightmare to find a fault.
