    Possibly not quite right for a pod system (I know exactly the ones you mean) but assuming that the pods do not perform any logic themselves? I mean I've never seen how you would interface to one for a start. http://www.paxton.co.uk/docs/Application%20notes/AN1106.pdf

    The other day we were asking about this and they insisted the only way to properly do an airlock was with the special interface they sell.

    This is very unusual re: the 15m range. Range is not normally an issue with this kit. I have some fairly big properties with no issues, only on one (Very wide, 400mm walls) have I needed a repeater just to get down to the basement.

    yeah yeah there goes Bartol Anyway, ally tube is still cheap and effective for this sort of job, I think.

    Scantronic I-On are actually good panels but the old fashioned 1-way wireless lets them down. I do think that 2 way is on the way, and should be backwards compatible via a firmware update since the panels DO already support 2 way wireless - it's just ONLY utilised for wireless fobs and keypads at the moment. I would also be a little wary about Eatons long term plans for the business.

    Hi Marco, welcome to TSI
  7. datadiffusion
    Yep this is it when you're checking every year, it's not so relevant.
  8. datadiffusion
    Was it something like lead carbon I saw in Rs last year, five times the price but a ten year warranty?

    AFAIK with telecommand you dont get to choose a number unlike zones, so t will only ever show how many previously learnt, I could be wrong but pretty sure unlike zones you cant learn t1 and t4 only, and then then come back for t2 etc... Later. Whenever I get one new out the box t0 is only shown, and thats when you can add tc or pa devices.

    Hi Wayne
  11. datadiffusion
    Has anyone ever thought of making a 7aH battery comprised of several bellbox batteries?
  12. datadiffusion
    It should say R0 for fobs and PAs, R1 to 4 indicate how many previously learnt afair. Pressing select will get it there.
  13. datadiffusion
    Good stuff, let us know how it went.
  14. datadiffusion
    I'd drop Sky etc... for a couple of months, that should pay for it.

    There are lots of inexpensive 16 zones panels out there now - I'd recommend doing that too rather than doubling up.
  16. datadiffusion
    Yes and Yes. Make sure new keypad is set to address 2. Don't have any power on whilst doing it. If you haven't changed the battery in the system box for 4 years, do it at the same time. Remember electricity can kill.

    Virtually nothing. Does not excuse 17th ed. testing, documentation, and following da rulez though. http://electrical.theiet.org/wiring-matters/51/part-p-certification/index.cfm There was a really handy 'changes' factsheet I had but can't find it now.
  18. datadiffusion
    Virtually nothing is Part P since the latest amendments last year. Only Bathrooms, brand new circuits, and replacement fuseboards, pretty much.

    ^^^^ OP states he's got one and says there are more than 2 smoke zones
  20. datadiffusion
    Makes sense for large flats and OAPs etc...
  21. datadiffusion
    Is the dreaded Window Tax back in force?
  22. datadiffusion
    Never fitted one, sorry. I'm assuming you fitted it yourself and have the manuals etc...? Is there any reference to shunt zones? Or can you not just out it into engineer test? Or is it like the old Menviers where fire signals still go through even in Eng mode? (hence my Shunt Group workaround)
  23. datadiffusion
    Assumed all on same zone, right. What I have on a Menvier panel is all smokes on a shunt group so keying in '3333' is a shunt user which fires an output (buzzer) but ignores the smokes. I believe you could do this on a Texecom too, but never tried it. What make is your panel?
  24. datadiffusion
    Fit the zone omit unit to the N/C smokes circuit, not the dialler! If you are using EOL resistors, these need to be fitted at the omit unit - as per the instructions. Usually this could cause a problem if only using 4 core wiring etc... as it 'converts' the EOL to DP but as it's smokes this should all be fine. Make sure you use the facility to connect a buzzer or similar so it can't be left in test (omitted) without realising.
  25. datadiffusion
    Too right, 5 days before the deadline on returning my old one for an upgrade, thought I'd better try the DVD which I hadn't used in about 2 years. Oh fook... It was buggered. Managed to get a replacement from ebay last minute. Worth it as replacement laptop is free as long as old one gets back working 100%.
