  1. Am i missing something? You said it was working?
  2. Someone has to pay for the space all those pictures of skip fodder is taking up... Google thinks you should update to IP cameras from your grainy black and white ones too.
  3. I'm growing to like the sound of a master blaster in an empty warehouse...
  4. Doesn't conform, not easy for customers to do/remember if under duress
  5. Bit of a daft place to fit a PA, you have to remove the PA from the wall to check anything inside the keypad. this means any readings you have taken in your OP are likely from the keypad and not with a meter too. It's also not where the cable entry is on the keypad you have made your own hole in the casing, it's unlikely but the PCB of the keypad maybe pressing on the cable causing an intermittent mystery resistance via some keypad component. I would say if anything the resistors are clamped too tight up to the ceramic this is where they are weaker and more likely to break. You could easily wire that double pole at G2 and job done with no discrete components flapping about inside. As for the PA in question I don't use them so can't comment but i would be inclined to use something more modern style, reed switches in PA's are so last century...
  6. Can't say I have ever had any issues with leaf tampers other than the fact they are easier to smash the lid off on JB's, relying on the one central screw. The more common issue I see are with these type are wiring not wrapped around the screw correctly or snapped or loose resistor lags making intermittent contact It's not mandatory to have switches but most have gone that way as it's easier to manufacture a break out back tamper. You also have the benefit of not seeing the faults above. I also wonder what brand and did you find any evidence to suggest it was the leaf at fault? For the cost of the device if your suspicious of it, may as well be replaced as part of whatever diagnosis you are doing, you have been called out anyway
  7. That's why Mum's go to Iceland
  8. When the tamper issue is fixed your code and reset should restore the system to "day mode" with no tamper condition.
  9. You have triggered the tamper causing the alarm to lockout. It's possible the sensor is damaged inside, worth having an engineer check over the system if you are not sure.
  10. I wouldn't say solved but it shouldn't be an issue for a while I would hope.
  11. I doubt it's something any of the trade members here would work on. Sounds pretty DIY if it's ran off a plug top.
  12. I agree with PJ, was it stripped back as if it should be terminated somewhere?
  13. Rules are mainly for public side, trade side has always been the wild west. Really it can all be covered under "don't be a dick".
  14. Put everything back as it was and try to reset it with the code? Failing that your going to need a man in the know with the kit. I am sure you will find someone local that works on them.
  15. "Panel AC Fault" would indicate that the alarm has no mains power. This could be at your mains board (consumer unit) or a fuse may have blown somewhere.
  16. You can bookmark any website to a devices main screen, it's like an app but a bookmark...
  17. That's what a web browser is for... not everything in life needs an app. IPB uses viewport so you get a decent mobile UI automatically based on screen size.
  18. I have no issue with how it is now. You have options on where you want to start from the Content feed.
  19. I feel it's source is from some social platform like that or something like a calender app that links all these together e-mail, meetings with contact details etc. Even having separate email usernames only narrows it down so far. Don't think it's right to speculate TBH you can cause an unnecessary panic, people that are around these breaches have been trying to find the source for several months now, it's taken that long to add it all on to HIBP. The one piece of information to take away from these breaches is don't re-use passwords.
  20. Indeed, the source is still TBD too. I would say that UUID on the data will make it traceable to somewhere, it may transpire where and how it got leaked in the near future.
  21. Concerning thing here is the way this data is structured with interactions between people as well as private information like job titles and phone numbers. https://www.troyhunt.com/the-unattributable-db8151dd-data-breach/
  22. In the trade section of the forum.
  23. We do not allow sharing for defaulting or factory resetting procedures on the forum here. I understand this may make you specific questions difficult to answer. Normally if the engineers code is locked on a panel the controls will need replacing if one knows the engineers code. With the engineers code locked defaulting will not work correctly (you will not access engineers) although which bits are cleared I am not certain for Gardtec specifically.
  24. 5-10mA or so is hardly an issue, I'd say maybe a few minutes of standby time. Without a logo you would say it's an auxiliary light, with a logo it's a sign and subject to planning permission unless the "sign" is fitted in an exempt area.
