The answer to your question is no the eprom stores everything

Pyronix bells have a habit of warping in the sun and moving causing tamper problems, most likely your bell lid is moving as it get warmed up and cooled down

I didnt mean just for this industry I meant for quite a few things. With no BS for stuff people will start importing loads of dangerous stuff like electricals with no fuses and meat with cancerous preservatives, and underpants with no elastic. Standards cover most things, without them we have no statutory rights

I think he meant the EU, not the standards. I suspect after Brexit we will have to adopt a lot of the EU standards until we have our own.

You have answered your own question, he has had good value for money out of it, if its lasted ten years nothing lasts forever. Not sure what you mean by split system, is but most decent panels can do far more than anything that was around when the CD72 came out. Area setting and part setting is available on even the most basic panels.

Thats not tobacco he's been smoking, thinking that a trade forum would want his old skip fodder

Non EU standards would not be compliant, please stop posting links to your website here

I have to agree even Pyronix would tell you that it was not their best effort. Why the feck did they make it so hard to get out of engineer mode?? did they think that burglars would be programming alarms and wouldnt be able to get out of engineer?? Personally I would skip it and get a proper system

My old boss wouldnt even by a hand held scope, mind you £300 was a weeks wages back then, I had to take a full size one to site

Or behind a multiplexer with your scope checking you have 1v p to p. I always found it terribly clever how the mplexer encoded and decoded onto a vhs.

No skill with Hikvision thats why its so popular, its all plug and play. Do you know how to back-focus a camera? ( i dont mean focus I mean back-focus) Do you know what any of the stuff in the OSD is for like what BLC stands for or HLC stands for, shutter speeds? Very few people installing cameras nowadays have any idea on what settings to use, Hik have taken all the skill away and now a ten year old can claim to be a CCTV expert

If you want to sub you need to be able install, no-one needs a subbie service engineer. They have to have employed service engineers for the call outs. If you cant install you have no chance of getting any work sorry

unconfirmed alarm, the customer can see which zone and decide if its false or not. If an intruder gets in they will trip two detectors for sure, we always make sure that the detection is close enough together or that areas of value have two detectors. Ive done it myself if we leave the aircon on in the workshop it blows stuff around, I switch off the aircon and reset the alarm from the app

Sorry I meant the customer can remote log in not us, keyholders reset the alarm without attending site even, whereas when I was an engineer the customer couldnt reset on a non confirmed alarm there wasnt such a thing they were all alarm activations, and they all required a engineers reset.

We get on average three calls a week, most of our chaps still go about their business whilst on call, they just cant drink or go too far out of our area (which to be fair that would mean getting on a plane) with remote login to alarm systems nowadays its all very easy on call

Texecom panel does not comply to BS5839 part 6 LD2/3/4 Grade B its an intruder alarm that has the ability to take smoke detectors, but these are purely to be treated ancillaries and do not comply with BS5839 in any way

Hi

Not very green it makes you wonder whats going to happen to all that plastic

Like everything in life if you look after it it will last longer, you wouldnt not service your car, it might breakdown and leave you stranded. Its the same with an alarm system it might breakdown @ silly oclock in the morning and you may not be able to silence it

Sometimes the right advice is not the same as the advice you want to hear. A burglar alarm is not the same as a vintage car, no one is going to come and admire it when it goes off in the middle of the night, like they would when your on the London to Brighton in your vintage car. Preserving an old bit of kit is normally less cost effective than replacing it with something new. So if you replace the transformer, you still have a ten year old PCB with ten year old components.The panel been on on 24/7 for the last ten/eleven years, its beginning to fail. It has served you well, just remember the good times you had with it turning it on and off, and do yourself a favor and update it.

hi

Is the building expanding and contracting? if the detector is moving it will think that an elephant has broken in

Hi and welcome

Ive just signed up for the home basic one, I intend on using it for incoming only and use the mobile for outgoing too, but the 1000 minutes a month for £5.95 seems reasonable. Ive just purchased a gigaset VOIP 3 dect phone set, once I have it up and running I will see how it goes then cancel my landline with Virgin.

I was thinking about just buying a sip dect set, I only have dect phones at home anyway and they are getting a bit old now
