  1. have you considered buying a dog ?
  2. good info
  3. I suspect you'll have to buy a proper alarm
  4. sorted ?
  5. or you've been unaware it does'nt work for ages ?
  6. Can I get new parts for your product from a reputable source ? you was robbed.... If your fully comp £0 if your paying for new £600 ish ?
  7. When my phone system is broken you still get a ring on the callers line.... Your alarm calls a SMS Gateway, it may turn many turns w/o succesess & be quite pricey on billing the provider of the SMS gateway gets no income, there are a legacy service & many networks turned there's off years ago... Its comparable to a carrier pigeon, the day you really need it to work it gets eaten by next doors cat PTSN is dead, all the copper in the ground is getting moved to fibre & the network is going VOIP, which mean modems in burglar alarm & faxes (remember them ?) won't work as the timing & tones is really critical to signalling You need to signal via IP or a SIM card, better stuff uses both.
  8. PTSN is dead If you don't have a one.... find a proper alarm co. who will maintain & monitor the alarm via single path stand alone device However if your looking for a new provider a euro meridian could or cira 18 yrs old, some might refuse to support it
  9. 0 then eng code 0 Ent then eng code If you don't have the eng code, the book has defaulting instructions However the 500r is old tat, personally I'd kick it off the wall...
  10. Was the seller wearing a mask ? as they robbed ya....
  11. if the dualcom is in the loft & is working.... the modem may have been for downloading, remove it or find a something to make it think its connected to a telephone line ?
  12. I'd assume dial capture was how the dualcom was working ?
  13. 2500 is cira 20odd year old ? eh? any module, modem, keypad or zem ect... connected to the system is fault monitored, should it be removed you will either need to program if off or default the system & reprogram it with out the device present whats are you attempting to do with the 4 outputs on the endstation ?
  14. I did a repair today, battery fault (12 yr old) New build block of faults, the system has never ever been set.... As the sensors had been wired n/o ! I wonder how many of the other 50+ flats have never been set or commissioned proper
  15. Pick up the phone & call xyz alarms they'll repair it & place it on maintenance contract, oddly the maintained alarms give much less problems than unmaintained alarms ? or lob a battery at it & wing it.....
  16. no, its probably most people don't like alarms ?
  17. nick 'em from every job....
  18. I look forward to 2023 & your next amazing post....
  19. MrHappy

    Homer

    buy 1 then flog it on ebay.... I expect you to get most of your £ back ?
  20. connect meter to pos of battery & pos battery lead turn off mains power (normal current reading) set alarm, trigger alarm (alarm current reading) apply mains remove meter plug battery back on
  21. Find out where Tommy Walsh lives & go & piss though his letter box..... Or just buy the correct batteries for the product ?
  22. personally I've been pulling stuff largely at my cost just to get UDL often the cost of getting it working outstrips the purchase price by quite a lot, I'll also bin controls at my cost if it suits me single path, self contained signalling fills my heart with joy G2,G3,G4 Dual path IP mean I have the subscriber ISP issues
  23. Its either the Equaliser or the A-Team ? TBH I've had a drink & are getting a bit mixed up...
  24. Really ? What other 30yr old constantly on electronic kit in your house have you still got ? The sensors been dropped when the coving was added... Many people only buy 8 core.... saves having lots of different reels & wiring in 6 when 7 pairs are needed.... you have my my deepest sympathy... You need nothing better than a DVM - Voltage, Current, Resistance. voilà every measurement need for an alarm circuit Throw it away & buy something less shite, If I wanted to bodge your knacked old alarm to together- Adjust stetsons to correct angle, check for indians (not you Al ? ) Assume tamper is a negtive loop, Assume 12hr circuits are positive loops At the controls place + voltage into one leg of an unused unlinked zone, if not closed try the other leg Should it not work or the controls start smoking see underlined text or try - ?
  25. after it its been kicked to death...
