Suppose it depends if you are just trying to demonstrate an above average level of antisocial behaviour to plod / council rather than court as such. Still not the greatest kit though, even by budget standards.

+1 Axis are bulletproof, and no mickey mouse company to deal with either, which is a bonus.

Yeah thought that except customer says they got to choose the kitchen but were never offered an alarm Maybe some Co they had lined up pulled out Oh and there is a no bellbox covenant on the whole estate, oops!!

Sized up a job this week where no wiring in a new build but a spur on a dedicated circuit marked alarm. Must have been for a wireless system but not even a keypad wire. Odd.

Im qual but not part p, as I try to avoid panels in bathrooms and Sheds! And non domestic isnt under the scheme as we all know. All paperwork using iet model forms.

There is absolutely no requirement for any additional fused spur being added to a ring circuit or lighting circuit to be doneby a Part P bod. But it should be a competent person and should be certificated for the tests that were done. Obvious exceptions would be; Domestics in a Bathroom or when any part of the cable runs outdoors with a junction box also being outside Connecting direct to the CU and prob lots of others....

Hi Les, going back to the original post, a map like that might be good actually....

Pyronix and texecom now sell versions of their boxes which can be dummy, wireless, or trad wired in the same looking outer case(s). AFAIK only wired have LEDs.

Or a wireless version of a Texecom or Pyronix box?

Wireless bellboxes often don't have LEDs of any kind and they are increasing. So impossible to say these days. Conversely I often fit a dummy box with signalling systems that has a 5 year battery powered LED.

"Some providers may indicate that they already provide a SIM capable of switching between several networks. This is absolutely true, however, what is not made clear in some cases is that an outage of the MNO with whom the SIM is hosted would mean that the SIM cannot 'lock onto' another network and is in effect rendered incapable of signalling due to an outage of a single supplier." I think many don't realise this; that the 'multisim' type of product can only help with day to day signal strength; not outright network failure. Interesting post as ever Joe, although I can't see manufacturers rushing to implement this, I wish they would though; for example I have a GPRS only site which fails every year when the Glastonbury carnival (with their temporary phone masts at full blast) rolls into town. Ultimately the customer will not pay for dual path; but a quick switch to a competitors network, just for 3 days, would cure this. Also, as I have mentioned before, a local town to us (Burnham) had no vodaphone whatsoever for 5 weeks earlier this year! So it is a real problem.

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!

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.
