Agreed but when you are very small / starting from nothing, the fact you're are not the faceless co. can be your USP and how you get chosen over bigger co's. I'm not saying that has to mean you are on the phone 24/7, but that's often how it works out, isn't it? So I think its an almost inevitable trap to fall in when starting out. Its true it could have been better managed by me, but I'm getting there and now all customers have it in writing how and when they can contact me depending on what they've paid for, the message has got through.

This is the hardest thing, especially if you previously were. However, I'd say that is a bit easier for the smaller co now with auto attendent etc etc..

tsi's very own answer to Howard Stern Does that mean we'll be phoning Andrew Sachs live on air?

Hi Mark, You'll be fine. Ok, I understand why you've gone for the Activ8's fair enough. Any device with alarm and tamper loops can be converted to EOL, as I understand it the panel should come with 16 1K resistors. like this except I have NO idea why they've soldered it, just use the terminals! I know nothing about the flex so someone else will be along shortly to explain which expander(s) you need. You can do the same for the contact as above BUT I recommend you spend an extra £6 and buy an EOL contact with them built in, trust me doing it with resistors (unless you have the kind of contact with proper terminals rather than screw heads) is asking for trouble later! Going back to the bell you'll need to add up the current consumption of all the PIRS (will be in the manuals) and the two bells in standby. Then add the current for both of them sounding, compare it with available panel current (so a 1A panel will NOT have 1A available) etc... Have a look at the very recent thread started by zerozero (skip to the last couple of posts) for a better explanation! EDIT - as above but I don't know the panel, but suspect it will be too much as standard...

Screech of brakes on unbridled criticism..... (joke) OK Mark all sounds reasonable, you'll need an expander as James said, its a shame you didn't ask before you bought as although SW are a great place to buy I would personally have bought from their extensive range of PIRs with EOL built in, such as Siemens, ditto for the contacts unless they are already EOL type, i.e. Knight or Elmdene with built in 1k/1k resistors. I'm not that familiar with the flex but be careful with the bells re: current draw; what I've done in the past is had one bell on SAB mode and the other on SCB, assuming the AG6 supports this; if it does it will be very clear on the instructions. Hope this helps!

Yep

Nothing - just one more reply then you can ask a site admin for trade access,

If you're trade, you just need 2 more posts to apply, and you'll find a discussion on t'other side...

I'm sure last time I asked I had a direct account too. Looks like online ordering is out the question

U got one in stock?

CAME UK account area - Danger: Malware Ahead! Google Chrome has blocked access to this page on www.cameuk.com. Content from kszzavuu.freewww.info, a known malware distributor, has been inserted into this web page As reported to them back in DECEMBER. No idle threat either, as Windows Defender has just blocked and deleted a trojan.... Surely, is it just me???!! Or do they have no other customers?!

Bump.... Had this today, was convinced before I even saw this thread or the gates it would be the sensors but turned out the relay board. Basically if you tapped the relay(s), whichever had the sticky coil would move and all would be fine! However, Oxo mentioned the hooj capacitors so wondered if anyone else had experience? @ PSE where can I get a new ZA4 board for £45? Did have a direct CAME account once, was there where it was that price?

Pete sees an opportunity to underquote...

Where's banksy when you need him?

BS approved Bell transformer is exempt AFAIK, if wired direct to 5A or 6A? Might be making that up

Guessing the ones in the middle are ceiling detectors! DT yes but I wouldn't personally put a smoke in the garage either, save it for the hall, a heat or RoR seems more appropriate in the garage. Lounge and Bed PIR is facing a window but if mirrored optics less of an issue. Landing deffo needs one two, otherwise its up the stairs during the EE timer, into any other bed and gone again all before you even get an alarm... As I guess the hallway will be on Access.

But presumably separate action for doing the Part-P work without being a scheme member? Unless all non-domestic I suppose.

Shirley you're not serious?

I know that, just thought that might be a typical response, nothing more.

'Our web designers put that in without our knowledge, thank you very much for pointing it out to us' ('bugger... oh well got 12 months out of it.')

Well, I did this job today swapping out for an LCD based panel. The two detectors in the initial picture... Wait for it, wired in PARALLEL?!!??!! Or as the job sheet which I found (but sadly haven't got) stuffed on top of the cabinet said 'wire garage in parell' Twisted wires to connect speaker in trunking - no insulation Taped up twisted wire joints in loft Somehow ran out of wires for SAB so joined Strobe to Siren!! (Lets not forget even old panel was PD 2010) Front door contact was Grade 1 without tamper. All from an NSI gold sold as Grade 2X. (Not a cash job or homer). Class and a half.

I was going to say, if its not intruder - well, perhaps especially if its not intruder... Whilst I'm here does anyone want to comment on my RA and SDPs? demo SDP.pdf demo RA.pdf

At the end of the day its a new set of directors I suppose - wouldn't they (SSAIB) be on dodgy ground legally? Same staff on tools, same office, and same phone number, and a strangely familiar logo though.... (the logo on the bells is nothing like anything on the website. The S is about 200pts and rotated so it could almost be a 2....)
