He is after a voltage free output, and the panel will drive the relay, adding another PSU will only complicate things

or just connect a relay to the output and voila!

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

QFA If its down powered it cant make a noise

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

Sounds like bandwidth, can you drop the bitrate on the cams a bit?

Decent indoor sounder and signalling why annoy the neighbors

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

Hi and welcome

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

Wouldn't recommend pirs in series, after a fa how do you know which one went off ?

Battery should be replaced every 4 years, it is another problem in the waiting.

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

It could be interpreted that way I suppose, but I read it that he removed 4" of cable off the keypad cable.

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?

Agreed a fuse is their to protect the control panel, they dont blow because the there is something wrong with the control panel.

We normally add our own password as an admin password and then add user passwords, the user can then change their own passwords. But we ask that they do not change our password. Reason for this: 1. Service engineer does not need you to log in in order to service, update firmware, or repair replace cameras. 2. I have lost count how many times customers have changed the password and forgotten what they changed it too. This in the old days meant sending the recorder back to base to be defaulted resulting in a charge to remove and a charge to return, nowadays it means emailing the manufacturer with a code and waiting for them to reply, this can take quite some time and if the engineer has to do it its another charge. No customers like unexpected charges, and we dont like having to charge customers for a simple mistake, but we have to pay our engineer wages and all the other costs involved in them coming to site, and so that charge is passed on. Its much better for us and the customer if we can just log in and change your password if you forget it.
