  1. Its not clear what you are trying to do, but if its not signalling then diss the dc and switch off line fault.
  2. QFA Alarms are like cars they need servicing, even if your not using it, its on all the time as you discovered at silly o clock this morning
  3. It would not need to be set to trigger the alarm if he had

  10. I heard a rumour that if you leave it in the freezer overnight it defaults ?

  12. Its one way wireless so its nothing to do with distance, or waht it has to travel through. You can add a 12vdc PSU to these bells that would stop the battery going flat
  13. Its a three year old thread, he has probable bitten the bullet and moved on to the 21st century now
  14. Ive tested most of these doorbells now Ring Hik Dahua Chinese cheapos, and they do work 8 or 9 times out of 10, and so the alarm should be fine ......most of the time. Seriously though, the doorbells are nothing like the adverts would have you believe, my ring doorbell missed so many parcel deliveries and I know that the postie press the button because I have hard wired reliable CCTV. And it alerted falsely so many times even on the lowest setting that I couldn't use the motion detect at all. I do not understand why anyone would have a doorbell, understand that it doesn t always work, and then think I know, Ill use their alarm to protect my home. Its sods law that it will let you know just as the burglar is leaving, thats what the doorbell does.
  15. Most live boxes have flashing leds some dummies have flashing led, most ADT boxes are dummies. Would you trust Ring? I wouldnt
  16. Ive done it before you need to see which circuit terminals are common, I havent tried with an Accenta. But that said I would think the person who ran the cable would be more of a clown if he joined one of the unused wires and not the other, my money would be on a damaged cable rather than a clown installer. Is EOL not available or is the panel too early?
  17. Probably best they will be able to change setting at the server end which may be all thats required,
  18. Im not sure that we went off topic? You ask us stuff we ask why, just so that we can find out the best way to reply, we like to know full facts in order to give the best advice. If you asked whats the best detector for my lounge we would ask lots of questions about your lounge
  19. I get all my stuff from Maplin
