watched the latest 2 then binge watched from the beginning , just finished watching - "Spring has arrived at Harry's Farm and the wheat fields look a mess" so now all upto date he's can't be short of £ if he's got a patek philippe watch, which is being worn at "work"

Harry's farm £1.7 kto have the combine serviced before harvest £500- 1k for the belt that broke during haverst 9 knifes needed replacing the wobble thing got fucked as well... should a cow, sheep or alpaca drop dead on the farm, its 50 notes to pay for the hunt to get rid of the body when your gate & posts is taken out by a motor car, the police or the recovery people won't tell the driver details due to GDPR to allow you to claim of your insurance £8k for 2nd hand straw do dar.. & grain sells for £350 a ton, suddenly being an alarm monkey looks well paid

Have you ever seen Fred Dibnah on the telly ?

Need to get working software / machine But have gone off on a tangent doing other projects. I've also been out on the tools doing bits- Today I nailed an enforcer contact onto this door- its right draughty, they should save up & get a nice uPVC one...

Gaz, however I suspect he''ll sound like Sid the Sexist will Alexa understand the accent

Surely you could have made the effort & posted a picture of an arn-1e ?

as I under stand it, changing the programming has no effect there just options ? the devices have a site code & a zone select on the dil switches changes these takes it off the system, its dumb & the field devices are unsupervised ? the panel will either reset off your code or need power cycle unless an alarm man has been & poked with a screwdriver recently it unlikely that it been working properly for 25yr, even though you might set it every day & it never false alarms...

**edit** take your pic any commercial control would do the issue you'll have the amount of current drawn, if your doing DIY & have not moved an over expanded set of controls about you'll have an interesting learning curve.

you want slapping...

@sixwheeledbeast I was looking at the same USB thingy before you posted... USB sockets ? no worse than the issue with a lighting circuit with bulb, transformers & pir's ? He's a Scotsman living in Yorkshire....

its from the era when more than 16 circuits was rare & expensive.... 10 latching sensors on one zone complied I assume there's more than 1 large steel box for the controls ?

it will work for a while....

they can do odd things like the above or continue to sounder the internal alarm after you've silenced it... they appear to play up more with age, l'd rip it out & put something new in

Ford Scorpio, these are a similar age to 4600 but cost a lot more £ at the time see many on the road ? expect to get parts easily for one ? expect the local ford agent to support one ? expect the people who where experts in 'em 25yrs ago to be still around? I could attend & look at a 4600, probably bodge a broken transmitter back to life or wait for used / BNIB to turn up on fleabay. 2 visits is gonna probably going to cost half the cost of new system.

the OP said 1999 ish- That back when people had CRT Tellys & VHS, (1999 argos book) gosh I feel old....

ideally you need an alarm man who been at it a long time or is experienced with working with old tat if you don't have yours maintained there gonna be no one with experience of working with it, the bloke who once fitted them are either dead, retired, no longer on the tools or chucked it & doing something else so you appear to have either got a fault on the tamper switch or the tamper terminals if you've very luck you may be able to bridge the switch or rework the terminals with an iron. also work all the dil switch up & down a few times, just encase the address is not right personally I'd have ripped out & stamped on it years ago.

there used to be model forms in 4737

hik fever thermal ?

have a ring round, I'm sure you find a dozen companies who are waiting for a big spender like you to call... This pandemic thing in the news, it will no way discourage anyone from beating a path o your door.

nah I wanna be a famer

On topic- The downloader software won't install at work on windows 8.1, not tried another version or machine yet

Should have gone for the other Birmingham & got a colt python ?

your family moved to the west midlands by choice ?

I always viewed mini's as horrid death traps,

He appears to be quite a decent bloke, his video's leap around between cars a lot Mini is my favorite youtube stuff & I've never liked mini's...
