interesting,
Hietel, the wankshed arc is probally a little more robust than most, would I be able to flood a ******* arc by sending a routine call every 1min ?
Today I was playing with a smartdisc 10 (my own ) anybody got the settings to put a **** adata ip cam on it ?
20 yr old alarm parts turn up on ebay,
electricians don't do pcb repairs, an electronics workshop maybe able to help you with this however I suspect its way cheaper to chance 2nd user items form fleabay.
£480.00 for replacement isn't that dear when you consider the 9600 & 2 x 9625's would a £250 ish back in the 90's
before labour
Well if you had access to a popular security website you could do a beta guide say to how fit an EWD's ?
eg a little A5 leaflet with one fitted to brick showing the cable coming though the wall length of screws a knot in the cables ect...
no. 2 being on cladding with plate bolted though ect...
no.3 a decoy bell which flashes & has a £90.00 pmv for wiping with damp rag & Arf believes would encourage people to buy proper alarms.....
JW if you or a body your involved with was looking to write a book to help the industry I would look towards the NIC EIC "snags & solutions" as template.
Available in print which as an A5 type spiral bound book but also appears as editorial in "professorial electrician" eg one snag every month
However I'd say the market for an electrical book is much bigger than an alarm book ?
if this was successful a "on site guide" would be the next bigger / more comprehensive project
I'd assume there would never been a return on the time involved or cost of publication ?
I 'dgo with free electronic book & ask for donations ?
A "f#ckwits guide to alarm monkeying" could be a the working tittle ?
IMHO the equipment is fit for purpose, due to checks & balances in put in place. (Every day there's activation reports received which are checked against our records so we should be able to find system reset w/o aid of ARC / installer)
Anti-code reset is a cheap & cheerful way of providing a simple means to manage the resetting of signalling alarms, high levels of cryptography ain't a big issues for me. Don't forget where still in as world where lots of systems are still on redcares & digi as mobile & internet ain't everywhere.
