Trade v Retail If your a small co. you can probably buy most things off the web cheaper than ADI ect... Operating trade accounts & branches cost money,

its in tamper / needs reseting after a tamper,

I'd assume basic employed directly with sky would be comparable to an alarm co. ? I'd assume OTE would be daylight hrs on a weekend ? I'd also assume most SKY work is easier than security ?

if you've no preconceived ideas of how something should work why waste your efforts with a 9600 ? If you learn the most commonly used commercial panel you'll most likely get a start on servicing at a regional or national co. If a certain national can train ex bus drivers or employ "2 screw" the Forest Gump of alarms, I'm certain Nero the Sky Man will do just fine

play with it for a bit contact a couple of larger local co's which use this product & ask for service engineers job... good luck,

In theory a shaved monkey should be able to do it, But if you can get fully comp maintenance for £150 inc vat & parts...

Sound like they'd need an IT guy, cira 5p a a message & min charge of £1 a month = lots & lots of connections to make it pay ?

okay, I was hoping you found a position with co. who where going to train you ect...

Working for yourself ?

Thought you where a teenage alarm hobbyist / collector ? Are you now doing this as a job ?

powered contacts & pa button ? this the easiest way to DIY fault find, normally you take & record resistant readings of each circuit,

at the panel ?

what measurement have you taken ?

You measured stuff with a multi meter ?

whilst flying the plane ?

oh dear, we assume the engineer was on your site without the knowledge or consent of his employer, If he's ringing up the ARC & checking up on your signalling account, there'll be a log on the activity reports, Should the company find out he's probably going get finished,

ding!

You got a singed jobsheet for his visit ?

The risk of SMS signalling is the messages being being delayed or lost, After head aches with subscribers failing to manage sims / credit, network outage, claims of not signalling... it does'nt have a proper a audit trail it so it not really suitable for a security system With a URN the police attend on a confirmed intruder, however the keyholders are also meant to attend & not solely rely on a police attendance as its prioritised on their work load. Last month- 1 genuine break in burglars in a factory, they left with £60 of pretty cash before keyholder & police attended 1 rat chewing a cable to produce an alarm & then a tamper within a confirmation window Both attended by the police.

You was moaning your scantronic didn't silence & reset off the r/r input on the stu footprint ? Its old tat, if you wish to diy support it then its your choice, Your GSM things looks look "chinky ebay special", this one they claim is "grade 2" https://www.controlfreqgsm.com/collections/2g-and-3g-gsm-alarm-auto-diallers/products/gsm-alarm-auto-dialler-compatible-with-all-alarm-systems-and-sensors#.WOihC7g6BrM I'd suspect its not

Does this chap turn up for free ?

it either been skinned to lay flatter or the outer insulation has been damaged then removed ? who knows, subscriber might have complained about a bump in the carpet & this was the solution ? Its appear to have been in place sometime...

when the alarm was done in 80's it was very unusual to gut & completely redo a house in one hit. the cable skinned across the door way would be so it wouldn't be seen under a thinning carpet, the soldiered joints where quite nicely done its probably given decades of service... If you've the budget to have all the boards up & replace all the doors, why haven't you got £150 for decent controls ?

Being a simple alarm monkey, there's a no. of different BT hub's I had recent one where it took 2hrs off f#cking around as the menu's where despite have the port forward set up I needed to redo the setting a 2nd time hidden deep in advanced menu, I hate them almost as thompson / techincolour routers

rkp is the same plastics as the informa speed dialer, the adecmo I'm think of would be 4140/4170 & this sort of thing ?
