He got a quote £220 not sure how long that was for though

Yeah that too

I had an engineer ask me if he can still use his van (its his only transport) I allow them to use it for private milage so long as they pay for their fuel. I checked with the insurer and was told the vehicle can only be used for business use and if the employee in question is working, and he is clearly not if furloughed. Normally I can get away with private useage as all engineers are on call and could be called at anytime and so have to take their van with them wherever they go. But whilst on furlough its not possible to say this. Also his Liability insurance wont be valid for you, so if you fall off your ladder you're fecked, if you drop your drill from up the ladder on someones head your fecked. So not only is you're boss breaking the law and both you and him can be done for fraud, you're not insured, to drive, have an accident, or cause an accident.

In your shoes Id buy a grade 1 surface contact and remove the reed from that

Well I suppose if the repairing of the alarm doesnt work, you can donate it to the Black Country Museum

LOL ! James's patch

Agreed it was pos return, and pos trigger iirc

Any external sounder will do, the Bentley is quite old so before replacing the external sounder I would check that its not a fault with the panel bell output

Fermax also have a universal handset although I couldnt say if that handset is on the compatibility list but the fermax is on Entryphones https://www.entryphone.co.uk/pdf/phones.pdf

Just trying to cheer him up a bit

Hi and welcome back I bit the bullet 18 years ago now, dont worry youll soon get used to the stress once you hit the bottle, then there are some really good charities out there like the SAMS, and the weekly Alcoholic anonymous meetings really help. Just try to keep in mind that suicide is not really the answer (I find if I keep telling myself that I almost start to believe it).

I think its his grammar

I think he moved in about 4yrs not he had the alarm installed about 4 yrs

LOL! I new it worked with Blink but I was unable to get it to work with Dahua, Im pleased with the work around

Ive just added my Dahua CCTV to the alexa show using the imou app. Alexa Who's at the front door?

Also check that all handsets are seated correctly, feedback is often caused if someone hasnt replaced their handset properly

I expected the bell to sound, but it seems that it did. but you omitted to tell us

PIR wont really see through glass but if the sun is glaring in and its suddenly shadowed who knows, they are unlikely to be activated by white light though most passives have white light filter lenses

But what should have happened when he removed the bell fuse?

But if your bell fuse is blown your bell should have sounded for 20 mins when it blew

Looks the best location fo both rooms if its wireless you could swap it with another detector if the fault follows the detector then replace it, if the fault reoccurs in the lounge then its something environmental that your missing, I see nothing in that plan (unless you missed out some helium balloons from a recent party) that would cause fa's

And theres your answer right there

If he cut through the tamper wire before blowing the fuse then it should have
