    BT will provide an input on your router for all old analogue tat, but there is no gtee sdi will work with it

    He is after a voltage free output, and the panel will drive the relay, adding another PSU will only complicate things
  3. PeterJames
    or just connect a relay to the output and voila!
  4. PeterJames
    I am certain it is

    I think you will find the security industry is exempt from construction industry scheme which means we are obliged to charge you https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/construction-industry-scheme-reform/cisr14290

    If he supplied it you would be able to claim 100% tax back his labour as well

    Psu in an Elite would be 2amp, each device will draw current, ancillaries such as keypads, expanders, and signalling all draw current, battery, and sounders draw current, and dont forget ohms law you lose current in the cable especially the longer cable routes. When the system is in alarm it draws even more current. Its why we do meter readings at the end of the install it ensures that we specified enough power.

    The consensus is only use wireless if its too late, or you like to piss Greta Thumberg off by filling landfill with old batteries.

    Hi and welcome

    Caps would have to be pretty big in order to hold enough charge to make any sort of audible beep. Even the biggest caps would discharge pretty quickly after a powerdown. You may be charging a battery operated smoke from the same spur, or maybe a 12vdc smoke with its own battery backup somewhere.

    Im not sure on dual uplink,never used one. But a dodgy switch can cause issues, like a motorway full of vehicles going into a single track
  12. PeterJames
    QFA If its down powered it cant make a noise
  13. PeterJames
    If you drop the bitrate alot at each cam and it fixes it then you know for sure its bw. If it does nothing its a dodgy switch or low uplink somewhere
  14. PeterJames
    Sounds like bandwidth, can you drop the bitrate on the cams a bit?
  15. PeterJames
    Decent indoor sounder and signalling why annoy the neighbors
  16. PeterJames
    I did think similar, but I dont really know Texe stuff. And I can never understand why people want two bells in the first place. I dont have one on my house let alone two nothing more annoying than a sounder going off on a lovely summers day, and nobody takes any notice apart from complaining about the noise.

    you cant replace the keypad with another make/model you can only replace it with the same
  18. PeterJames
    Hi and welcome
  19. PeterJames
    qfa The main battery failing can also cause overload on the charging circuits, which in turn draws more power thus lowering the power to the detectors keypads and bell. this eventually kills the panel
  20. PeterJames
    Wouldn't recommend pirs in series, after a fa how do you know which one went off ?
  21. PeterJames
    Battery should be replaced every 4 years, it is another problem in the waiting.
  22. PeterJames
    Tamper fault will be one of the 24 hour circuits to one of your detectors or the bell, the panel and keypad also has a tamper circuit. When was the battery last changed? Not saying it is the battery just asking to find out if its another problem waiting to happen
  23. PeterJames
    It could be interpreted that way I suppose, but I read it that he removed 4" of cable off the keypad cable.
  24. PeterJames
    What makes you think the fault is in the 4 inches that you cut off? Where does it run from to? By that, I mean does it run under the floor or around the skirting board, under the carpet etc?
  25. PeterJames
    Agreed a fuse is their to protect the control panel, they dont blow because the there is something wrong with the control panel.
