I see little time difference in wiring two cores or four cores TBH.
Doubt detectors will be asked to do that many statuses.
EOL will not disappear overnight.
I think IP could be another option in the future.
I agree, this is a case that the ICO have been watching closely.
They are currently working with the MoJ on how this is to effect UK law, but no update has been given AFAIK.
You'll need to drive a DP relay from the lock output, then send a voltage to your lock from one side and a clean NC pair to your alarm zone.
It's not as simple as linking them together you will blow something.
I wouldn't have it set to disarm the system!
If it was Switch2 or better still Net2 you could integrate it into Texecom that would be more secure.
The Compact readers they are basic so having it disarm and unlock everything is a bad idea IMO.
However, in theory yes you can drive a relay from the lock output of the reader.
It doesn't work like that in real life scenario.
Customers use the wrong code (bank code/ work code/ home code/ whatever...) panic and then walk around the premises sending confirmed alarms.
No amount of customer training or instruction will help some users, there not interested.
Prox tags have definitely helped to reduce FA's, most issues I get on the phone are from customers that still have codes.
Most will do this but there are downfalls.
As mentioned it's easy to steal the card or camera.
Also the flash memory (SD card) will get worn eventually, flash isn't good for continuous 'write' tasks.
Wear levelling has increased the life of flash cards/sticks but still not really designed for this.
All to do with the system current.
You will find one external sounder and all your devices will be pushing the limit of the standby time, depending on the battery.
If using two EWD's I would normally but both in SCB, Low Current modes.
Elite has replaced the Premier, yes.
If that circuit is not Omit Allowed (this is possible) it has not been programmed correctly initially.
IIRC to omit you enter your code followed by X this will then ask you if you want to Omit a Zone number.
Yes
But if you have been pressing buttons in there you could have put the RFX into programming mode.
This may stop the tamper from clearing.
Not a good idea to be playing in there when your not sure what you are doing.
You may have deleted any number of your wireless devices from the RFX.
You could have just omitted Zone 11 from the keypad and still had a working system, I believe you will now need an engineer.

If you have changed the batteries before with no issues, then I doubt it will be on engineer reset then.
Can you clarify exactly what you tried to do, because it doesn't sound like you are trying to omit it like I suggested.
