Engineers manuals cannot be shared for security reasons. You are really going to struggle installing blind with no manual and no experience. You are either using the engineers code or the panel has a fault and will not arm. This is the important jumper to commission the mesh network, the system needs to mesh correctly, upon completion it should be disabled. Radio Expander options, normally left alone unless you need them. 16 ohm speaker is not a sounder. If it is a speaker you will need to wire this in place of the small speaker built in to the cab. This could equally cause an issue as the devices could still be enrolled on the radio expander, so the devices would not be "seen" by the panel but enrolled on the expander.

1) You are probably not enrolling them in the correct menu or while in commissioning. 2) Radio Smokes need to be powered down for a few seconds before trying to enroll again, you need to hold the button while enrolling. 3) I assume there is a fault with the system, if you have not commissioned the radio correctly you will get poll failures.

I doubt the extra volume will make much difference for a large amount of jobs. I can't say I have had a Texe bell fail yet but I recall it being a thing a while back. Do note that Klaxon and Texe are both Halma now, so I imagine would use the same electronics.

Sounds like a pretty new kit with a few extra PIR's added in. It's my preferred series of control panel and they work very well, I also agree with the wired point above. You need to read the manual cover to cover before taking on something like this, if you set these up wrong you will have no end of trouble. Don't enroll the devices off site first. Follow the instructions and pay close attention to the commissioning procedure.

Logic well discontinued. I wouldn't bother fitting either any more but would choose Veritas out of your options.

I don't like Hik, but I don't see why it wouldn't work. Hard to tell from the picture but positioning looks ok. Bear in mind the higher you go the less chance you have of getting facial images.

Certainly wouldn't fit wireless from what the OP has said.

Would suggest you get a few quotes to upgrade your system, listen what they have to say go for the company you feel comfortable with not necessarily the cheapest. It's likely the existing cable could be used keeping costs down and mess to a minimum. Feel free to have a read of the posts in the DIY section, it's recommended if you want to see if your up to the task. That sort of price is about right dependant on kit and area etc.

Cable will only take 50V max. Multimeter would be my tool of choice.

Where do you buy your five sided dice?

I wouldn't worry about that, they're unlikely to be put back in service.

I think the tags are the same for the powermaster and the powermax. They call them Chicklets. Yes, if you default you have to re-enroll everything.

default the panel and make sure you put the default pins back to where they are suppose to be.

Maybe read my post again then...

Who decided it wouldn't work and did they explain why?

Had issues with the tags on these before. Deleting all the tags and enrolling them in installer mode normally does the trick. Assuming your tags are compatible.

Why is everyone scared to fit quality and charge for it. You say overpriced, I say a quality product that does it's job well and had no issues. Compare that against hassle you will get from the cheaper end of the market and it makes sense.

I can't stand Hikshite and certainly wouldn't recommend for monitored sites. Personally, Smartdisc > Distribution Amp then the Barix units to pole, decoder with built in Amp to drive the horn on the pole. Can drive 2 x 25 watt, 8 ohm imp.

I read it that way.

Had to use a few in the past wouldn't touch any of the GJD offerings. SD3 if I had to fit one. Maybe worth updating the controls and looking at app based tat.

I am sorry but you can't say 'with all due respect' then take that tone. All the advise you have got so far is spot on, there is plenty of piss taking and trolling on the forum but I don't see any going on in this thread, yet. Please be aware most of the people that have responded to your thread have many years of experience, both within the industry and posting here to DIYers. Your questions are currently a bit vague, hence why people are suggesting you find a proper installer. Maybe if you break down what you need to know if you are certain on a DIY route. Yes, if you wish to swap your panel for a Premier 24 that would be fine, but you may find the issue is not the panel. If you wish to take on installing the COM modules to the Premier you will need good IT knowledge and be able to understand firewalls and port forwarding. As I say there are plenty of threads within the DIY section that have had DIYer's asking for help with there installation over a period of months to get a partly working system. They are worth a read, many questions have been answered time and time again.

R8 is pretty basic but fairly robust. There is likely something wrong that a competent engineer would be able to repair. Good bit more to fitting alarms than sticking equipment on coloured wires, consider what you are taking on and have a read through the threads on the DIY Installers forum.

Yep, red ones where mostly pre-prod freebies to stop people moving to Castle or Texe controls. I still have a Red M1000 at home.

This is the point at which most people would walk. Something like this needs to be professional and fitting cheap will cause hassle in the long run.

Not far off it's 30th birthday party. I am sure I have seen 87 on the service sheets of ones still in service.
