You can still buy those rkp if you really want to save cash. I would also look at the fuse marked aux take it out and meter it. It could be that you damaged the regulator but I think it unlikely. Was the original installer approved ie ssaib or NSI? If you feel that a system change is in order I would suggest you get three quotes, I would recommend you use an approved company, which doesnt necessarily mean you will get a better job but it does mean you will get some protection if you dont. Post the quotes here and we will provide you with our thoughts. Overall I would suggest that you pick the installer that you feel most comfortable with, this is unlikely to be the cheapest. Good alarm engineers are hard to find and therefore they demand good wages, so any co that suspiciously cheap should be avoided.

Many dont connect the tampers that way it cant go wrong.........cant it?

Its a 610 or 620 now or something it is still available, Its the easiest swap over, but its not the best panel. Risco now produce lightsys or something, we looked at that too but its not that good. We only install HKC now which is not really a DIY product, I think that Texecom Premier seems to be the weapon of choice for premium DIY installations. Pyronix also have an offering, thats popular with DIY neither brand is supposed to be DIY but people dont have any trouble getting hold of them. I wouldnt buy a Pyronix bell, go for a Texecom or Risco bell the polycarbinate is much better quality, it doesnt expand in sun.

Yeah its wired EOL Why are you looking to change the panel?

Remind me why you looking to replace the panel?

Actually looking again that could be wired 4 wire and not eol its quite hard to tell, take a lid off a detector and take a pic

It could be tidier, but sometimes the tidier it is the harder it is to fault find, Ive seen far worse. It is wired EOL. If the defaulting process doesnt work then the engineer code will have been locked by the installer, this is done to prevent people changing the programming of the system and then trying to blame the installer when there is a burglary and the alarm didnt work. 600 will be compatible with EOL's so an easier DIY project, Im not sure if the 800 expander's are the same though. I hadnt realised you had 19 devices revise my price to around £675.00 plus VAT and another £70.00 plus VAT if you need an expander. If your getting someone in then would advise you get three quotes and see what they say, there will be more labour changing EOLs and expanders but the Gardtec stuff is dated nowadays.

If we were in your area we would supply and install (We only install equipment we supplied because of warranty issues that may arise ) for around £550 plus VAT for a Gtec 600 or about £490.00 plus vat for a Gtec CP8 prices approx. The labour value in the prices quoted would be £175 half a day one man, this would be our minimum charge for a panel change as we are £99.00 per hr non contract, two or three hours is more expensive than half a day.

The 600 EOL is the same as the 800, assuming that you are wired EOL it could be wired 4 wire the 800 is fairly old.

qfa the cheaper diy wireless are not good, and the wiring is normally the last thing to fail its wire, it doesnt have electronic components in it. The risco cp8 uses the same eol as the 800 its only 9 zones though.

I wasnt, you would be surprised at the daft questions we get asked here, so I never assume anything. I just tell it as it is.

Please dont post engineering manuals in the public area if you are unsure of the rules please take a look at the forum main page

A picture of the keypad and and control panel would have been more useful than a picture of the PCB that could be pretty much any old panel although it says C& K on the PCB it still doesnt help identify which one

It wont fit, and the panel isnt capable of charging it, other than that it will work. But you are better off replacing it with a battery designed to fit and work with your system. It will hold your panel up for at least 12 hrs and will fully recharge after 24 hrs

I knew that I thought that must have been what he needed, the only way I could see you would get the OS would be by approaching the manufacturers directly I doubt they would provide it though thats the bit that makes the machine,up until then all you have is a bare bones machine

Have you tried this ? http://qvisglobal.com/knowledge-base/cms/cortex-terminator-cms

Ive just been offered 8 legs of Venison for £80.00 .....Do you think that's two Deer?

I would agree with Sixwheel, the camera doesnt look like it will do what it suggests on the box. I would guess that reference to WiFi means when connected to a WiFi enabled recorder. That camera is analogue so its not even network enabled

try adata's website they have loads of downloads for the junk they sell

Rarely will I sell a monitored system without URN, that would be almost as bad as relying on the app. Another thing with monitoring you have the polling to ensure its working. The HKC panel does tell me when it cannot communicate with the cloud, thats fine if I am at home when it happens, but if Ive just left for the airport for my two weeks in the sun I wont have any idea its not working.

I processed him yesterday, I was just winding Stu up but he didnt bite

If the house is worth burglaring I would still be recommending that the system goes through to an ARC you cant rely on the app. People switch off their phone, go places where there is no signal, leave their phone at home, in the car, at their friends, they go places where they cant hear their phones, and all sorts. At least the ARC operator will call the Police if its a confirmed intruder.

I deleted his application because he had not complied with the rules, Otherwise I have an inbox full of people that dont comply, and so if he now does comply he needs to apply again to remind me to log in and up his status.The rules are very clear on yet I still get loads of numpties that havent even registered, let alone posted, applying for trade. I have to draw the line somewhere. The whole point of us asking for people to post is so that we can work out if they really are trade or just faking it. I would say the majority of the applicants dont post after they have become trade anyway, I swear most only want to download the manuals

Listen I dont make the rules........well I do actually, but thats not the point.

He had only made one post when he applied so I deleted his application, he's made 6 now but hasnt applied since so no I havent
