Although I agree with swb I wouldnt rush back to the shop just yet give it a test, it may have been decommissioned because the house was empty and the power was off a few years after it was installed, and never been used till now the sounders will probably not work due to someone decommissioning them at the sounder

Disconnect one leg of the wires from the panel and see if the voltage goes back up to 12v, if it does put the cables back one by one til the voltage drops and you have then found the cable with the problem. You then need to follow the cable route to fined where the cable is damaged

Hi

Dont take this the wrong way but you need to get some basic electronics knowledge before you start playing around with stuff you dont understand. I gave up because you dont have any idea of what people are trying to explain.

I give up

If you use a power supply you have to common up the ov

Either the sounder doesnt work, or the panel isint outputting 12v. If you have wired 12v and gnd and the wired bell to gnd it should have sounded

Maybe the panel relay is knackered or the bell its hard to say without looking if yo move the wire frome N/O to common does the bell sound?

Common on the control panel (CPU) links to ground

I would guess, 12v and GND on CPU to 12v and 0v on bell, put a link from GND on CPU to COM then wire N/O to B on Bell

The siren need permanent 12v

Never heard of a wolfguard doesnt look like it has a tamper return, the bell needs a negative trigger that I would guess you can get from N/O on the panel; and adding OV to common

When was that?

either that or a short between tamper and one of the alarm circuits, so maybe cable

You just said I have a piece of string, how long is it? in order to help you we need proper info like. What have you replaced it with? what lock is in situ? how have you wired it?

I think that would be very thin ice, I think the training would have to be non hands on in other words not making any money for the company you work for. Again that company must not be doing anything for the company you work for

£26k was the starting bid I got them down to £18k in the end. I do use the system fully though, from enquiry to quote to purchase orders as well as all the maintenance runs and stuff. I can track engineers and see how far they are from the next job etc,I am still getting used to it but it seems okay, and although its not without its quirks it seems to be more reliable than AM. My admin team love it. Once you buy it you dont need to have the ongoing maintenance to keep it working (which is why you dont want something on someone else's cloud) I will keep paying the maintenance on mine. I dont think it was worth the £18k, but I reckon most people who buy a burglar alarm from me think the same. Not that I am not gvfm, its a begrudged sale. I need software in order to do my job, but its not going to make me better looking, or make my car go faster or my dick grow bigger. Its the same with alarms, though I do try to make customers think their car will go faster with one of my alarms.

what he said

You're lucky £26k was my starting bid Oh and you dont want cloud based unless its your own cloud

We have just moved from AM to Cash, both are a bit quirky but I am overall happy with the change

Same here

I dont make the rules..........well okay I do, but only some of them.........well okay this one in particular was one of mine..... but it is for good reason and all the mods agreed

Acorn makes me recall Acorn Antiques, there is a company Essex way (Clacton I think) called Acorn Alarms, the bloke doesn't believe in connecting bell tamper circuits up because they go off for no aparrent reason. I dread to think what his installs are like

Hi Chris Are you sure that Acorn is the brand? In any case, we cannot give out installation instructions here. only user ones

Hi and welcome
