Hi and welcome to the forum, Unfortunately we are unable to provide defaulting information on this website.

if all the terminals are tight and the spring is good then I would say dry joint somewhere on the rkp. Though the top of the rkp PCB looks like its had some water damage thats spilled out onto the label in the lid

Hi and welcome, you sent a blank message to vetting today. If you were actually applying Im gonna need a bit more than that please resend ta

OP unfortunately this forum is UK based, the product you mention is not one I have heard of, but even so, every country has its own protocols when it comes to security. Which means that its highly unlikely that anyone outside your country would be able to help. Most panels can be defaulted another installer in Cyprus will be able to help

Recycle the power and start again would be the easiest if you dont know what you're doing

S Class you must have seen it when we met at Peckham?

Its not like you haven't seen what I drive LOL!

Bonjour

I had my best financial year last year despite all the Covid stuff going down. I just hope it continues only with less Covid. Happy new year everyone!

As above there are no benefits using your existing dated system. However, you can buy HA motion detectors to do what you need and they will work flawlessly. I have a decent alarm system with input output units coming of my alarm system controlling lights for courtesy, to make sure all lights are off when the system is fully or part armed, and of course to switch on lights in sequences when the system goes into alarm to give the appearance that someone is at home. I do it this way because I know the limitations of my alarm, but its not the way I would recommend a diyer or an experienced HA'er should do it, most experienced HA guys would laugh at the way Ive done it

Good to see someone into HA with a proper alarm, instead of the usual 433mhz one way wireless tat many of the you tubers promote

The panel hasnt been made over 10 years and that was the most recent keypad they madefor that panel, so sadly the only way to update it is to replace the panel and keypad.

Most people think a bigger battery is better, but the transformer is only 1amp so it cant charge a flat 7Ah battery. Plus how long are you planning on having power cuts for ? 8 hours 12 hours 24 hours? 3.4 will cope for around 12 hours on a 5 detector 1 bell 1 keypad system

HKC tech zones? We made a led panel up for a huge toy factory with loads of beams in the roof. Before we did this they would get to the main entrance and try to set the alarm only to find a beam interrupted somewhere. The leds told them there was a problem before they left the warehouse

Hi and welcome

Bit of a Paragon there Dave you could have accenta bill in for that my little rascal countess, from windsor

Texecom Premier is the bigger panel these will work with Elan, though the customers we have with Premiers connected to their Elan HA never use the HA for anything on their alarm

As you are in NI, HKC would be my first choice (that said HKC would be my first choice anyway) I am also a big fan of HA, though I am a bit different from James. I have experimented with using Alexa for arming disarming, I have also used outputs on the alarm to trigger routines, such as courtesy lights on entry exit, or switch off all lights when set. An alarm panel is basically an input output module you are limited as to what you can make the inputs do, send alarm notifications, trigger outputs. The outputs on the panel are also limited especially when disarmed, but there are a few things you can do, access control, switch on lights, the app even has time schedules that can be set and overridden via the app. In reality it is possible to make it do whatever you want, but not everyone has the patients or the time to work out how to make it do what you want it to do. Thats the reason my teleporting system hasnt ever got finished, well that and Heisenberg's uncertainty principle LOL. HKC is also Hybrid and so you can use wireless and hard wired, the devices are two way wireless and quite secure. I would recommend hardwired devices everytime over wireless as you dont have the additional cost of batteries but having a back-up of wireless is really handy especially if you want to add window contacts somewhere, or you have a outbuilding that you want to include. It doesnt work with ITTT but you can interface inputs with outputs that do Your problem will be finding a company willing to work with you on it, many co's are uncomfortable stepping out of the traditional burglar alarm stuff, but with good reason.

if this then that

Agreed with above, most of the pro stuff wont work with ifttt. Reliable = professionally maintained Smartphone App = All the decent ones you need a cloud contract only available through an installer

Hi

£60 sounds cheap to me, and not having a service contract on something that can cause you a problem at silly oclock in the morning is just daft. Especially right now we are turning non-contract work away we far too busy dealing with customers that pay for us to be around

Antique collector? They were not the best panel when they were new, I am surprised that there is still one out there

CPX didnt have any wireless detectors IIRC so they must be aftermarket with a receiver. The CPX has a built in Digi so is normally monitored. Strange combo monitored alarm with aftermarket wireless detectors.

Hi
