  1. Yep, Active IR beams covering inside the perimeter would be my first thought without seeing the job.
  2. TBH if there is no money in the job, isolation is best for everyone. An unmaintained system is just a neighbour annoyer in the long run.
  3. If I came to this as a job I would be quoting for new controls and bell minimum. The time spent messing about with a probably unmaintained 20+ year old budget panel thats showing signs of ageing is not productive to anyone.
  4. I thought a AG6 was the cheap go to DIY box...?
  5. Sorry we do not share defaulting information or engineers manuals here as per our guidelines.
  6. Breakglass is not ideal detection. Settings on the tester should allow you to check flex and smash. Are you using the setting where you tap the surface with the tester and the smash follows?
  7. I believed it to be 5 posts, unless it's pulled from gravatar facetwit login etc.
  8. I agree also signalling line fault at the controls helps, but not infallible due to only testing line voltage and not polling the line regularly.
  9. Contact your installer and have your new router set up again. The error is a warning to say its not polling the server.
  10. Smallest size bootlace would be 0.5. You wouldn't bootlace solid core data as its designed for IDC's
  11. A quick dab on the battery yer. Wired up permanently no
  12. Possibly blown something then. Speakers aren't designed to pass DC and AUX output isn't designed to take a short. Check AUX voltages with meter and find another loudspeaker of the same impedance to test the output.
  13. A "loudspeaker" should be wired into loudspeaker terminals and have a resistance of between 8-32ohms if tested on it's leads only depending on the speaker and panel.
  14. Do you have anything wired in speaker terminals? If there is a built in speaker meter the resistance on it's leads to see if its ok, do the same if you have fitted one separately.
  15. If I Remember Correctly
  16. But why did the circuits not operate? Is the expander powered from the same PSU?
  17. Most closed loop security and fire equipment is wired NC with open on loss of power.
  18. Something is wired wrong? PSU should ideally signal a fault to the controls too.
  19. Optex detection, CQR for surface, Best results from Elmdene for shutters at G3.
  20. Then think they'll still operate if they stick them on with sticky pads...
  21. It depends on the kit and the controls. If the controls are sending a signal to the panel to start a RST then you with need to wire this to an output on the controls. Many sensors have a switch for Local Test which will open the alarm or masked output if they fail. Would be easier if we knew what kit you are using tho, gather than a generic answer.
  22. Same only had issues when they had been disturbed and the trembler had been refitted back in the wrong way.
  23. It's likely the part sets are set incorrectly. You have to both configure the Wards included and configure the zones included for in that ward separately.
