MrHappy replied to FuzzyDunlop's topic in !!..DIY Installers..!!
"maintained" was the term used in BS4737 to describe a service contract... the terms of each contract are different at different co's -

there's Karizma, Karizma+ & a Karzima UDL even if we fitted it we'd have little interest in supporting it, You'll be lucky if you can find someone who'll supports the cabling

Risco eurosec CPX wireless alarm system
MrHappy replied to Maria Gill's topic in Control Panels (Public)
your £50 visit was cheap, £10 each for a sensor battery was dear We'd be more than £104 & if non contract we'd might not come at all By contrast A daytime visit for my house telephone would be £120+vat if my equipment is not at fault The business telephone line went off some months ago £450+vat for an engineer to attend on Saturday morning I declined, they fixed some days latter at the exchange (there a bunch of clowns) I pay call costs & line rental.... you've provided no income for your alarm co. since the install I'd change lithium radio alarm battery's every 2 yrs & the lead acid battery every 5yrs unless they fail earlier In your case I'd **assume** the end station, radio expander & keypad ect... stopped working after 10hrs or so. when powered back up it recharged its battery but shows L! for every radio device or something ? The batterys may not need replacing at this point but I'd expect who however replace them has measured them & found there down on volts? Any fault with your CPX will appear in the log, view it ? -
on the books I've a full 32 zone agiltity the subscriber cancelled the maint, as they could change there own battery's.... they soon went back on a maint which inculdes all battery's we don't do lots with the product, so takes a 1/2 day visit to change every battery & clear faults ... they moan at the high cost. we moan at the low margin we currenlty change 50% each visit, however its a pain the balls

Magnetic Contacts Sticking on Un-Opened Windows
MrHappy replied to Eugene's DIY Den's topic in !!..DIY Installers..!!
If the gap is too wide the reed may not close / may open after a period of being set Depending on the case design you mage be able to double up the magnets which give them more "pull" -

there on surfaces which are stepped apart, a "chunky contact" does 30-40mm gap I wouldn't fit then in the locations you've got -

Magnetic Contacts Sticking on Un-Opened Windows

The reed is just little bit of metal in glass tube.... I reckon most of the branded alarm contact manufactures buy in the same Reeds... The gases escapes for the glass tube & they either FA or just fail (open or closed) I suspect those the fail early have been thrown around or the screws knocked in with a hammer when fitted IIRC 13mm operating gap, thats look way too far apart -
the panel is utter tat & the door contact has probably failed

the plaggy prem with built on expander is quite cheap as the kit
