If the bell still sounds when you down power it then why are you changing the battery? Its not essential that the sa battery is replaced unless it is really u/s, the chances of someone breaking in to your property and completely down powering the alarm system is low. The bellbox looks like a Nova 6 so there is a screw behind the blue lense if you look closely you will see there is screw cover in the lense. Personally I would not bother until the battery fails completely

Gent Panel Clicking Every 60 Seconds
PeterJames replied to stelmo's topic in General Fire Alarm Queries
Pleased to see you are giving as good as you get there. As for the fault I have never known any addressable fire panel do that with no faults but I cant see how you have it wired or what its wired too. I would test that it works ok firstly then secondly look to see which relay is clicking if it has one Im not familiar with Gent, there a closed protocol system. -
£10 pcm no call charges? are you paying less than £10pm on mobile calls currently? Also if you dont make enough calls to warrant the sim what makes you think you're going need to call two mobiles at the same time?
-
There used to be a Modem type thingy that you put a sim card in that connected to you pabx and everytime you dialed an 07 it used the modem all other numbers used the standard line. Cant you do something like that?

Yeah but you was expecting it may happen, wherease mine was not an everyday occurance how many of those dead bodies were somewhere you wouldnt expect to find a body

The trainee I was working with found a dead body in a garden once, that was a day I wont forget

It does go on mate when I was engineering manager at another co I often had to go to site to check on engineers ect, and engineers have often shown me stuff they found whilst the homeowner was out. I was always worried that the customer would come back and catch us watching the customers home videos, or looking at their porn stash. When I used to install I found a stash of nude men mags and a rabbit under a young girls bed, to look at her she was definately not the sort you would expect you know butter wouldnt melt. Never found drugs or cash though

Just so you know if I leave the accounts lying around in your presense its for a reason,probably becuase I want you to have a good hard think about taking a drop in pay

Years ago back when I was an engineer we used to keyhold we used to look over wiston house in cissbury http://www.wistonhouse.co.uk/the-house/history/ I have no idea if it is haunted or not but it is a very old building with lots of secret passages and what nots, and I have heard rumours of all sorts going on its quite close to cissbury ring where the devil worshippers hang out. Anyway I got called out there one wet and stormy night, you know the ones claps of thunder and lighting ect. Anyway I arrive on site one minute to midnight as I am driving up I could see a light on on the top floor, so I am thinking someones on site already. So i get out of the van switch the alarm off and check out the log, alarm was set at 17.00 then nothing till 23.00 when the alarm activates on the top floor landing, and nowhere else, off I go expecting to find someone in the building still working (only the landing on the top floor had detection) get up stairs check all the rooms and I found no one. So I inspect the detector for signs of spiders and the usual environmental checks nothing, cant see any reason for activation. I would normally change the detector at this point but the house was creeping me out a little lots of creaking noises along with thunder and lighting so i decided to isolate the detector (It was trap detection you couldnt break in on the top floor even with a helicopter) switched the lights off, went downstairs, reset the alarm, isolated the zone, set the alarm, got in my van wrote the job sheet went to the house and posted the top copy of the jobsheet through the letterbox walked back to my van and something made me look up, and the top floor light was on again. Now I know I had switched it off and it was not on when I originally returned to the van, I know there was no one in the building I checked every room on the top floor and they could not of come downstairs without triggering another detector or passing me on the stairs there are no secret passages on the top floor. I thought about going back to switch it off for about a second whilst I was running to the van. When we went back to change the detector I spoke to the caretaker and he said that sort of thing is always happening I dont believe in this sort of stuff but at the time this did creep me.

I remember those Dave, Ive seen much older detection including flushed in ultra sonics in a Brighton seafront house owned by Hancock's (Half Hour) Brother But I remember queing up in local Police stations to put alarm systems on test, and a reset was putting a needle on the begining of a record, or reseting an eight track

I have it sorted already thanks

Three more doors and a reader to arm/disarm alarm system (Not used by OAP's if the alarm is set the OAP's fobs wont work
-
I have given that some thought, the customer has a keypad on the rear door ATM so when they phone him because they cant get in he gives them a code then changes the code the next day, the app wouldnt cost that much a dialer would The manager is not an OAP its the old dears that use the club for knitting club or whatever OAP's do that forget their fobs. They were constantly phoning him to come and let them in because they forgot or lost the key, hence why they have access control. Now they forget/lose the fobs he can switch the fobs off when they lose them. A phone app to remotely open the door would be usefull.
