You did say floating! Nope boat has a DIY 'alarm' PCB, the biggest reason being it's happy to run on DC only but also supports it's own battery. And very low mA as key based not lcd rkp etc Many other panels seemed to look for the 50Hz mains frequency to determine mains connected or not so hard to fool.

Siemens e-line from Security Warehouse.

Could well be - the 9200 is well old mind as I'm sure you know.

It really depends on the system. Modern scanys describe the bell o/p as being able to sink up to 500mA. Prob o/c when bell off.

Im a bit lost as to what you're trying to do, are you just trying to connect a modern external siren? Pin 4 is just looking for 0v through a tamper switch etc... to show all is ok. 1 and 3 are just constant power as you say, 2 goes Neg in an alarm situation Hope this helps!

Suspect you have pushed the 20 year old switch so hard it's gone bye-bye. It would be held closed, but as above I would say you are well overdue for a new system. The 9600 was discontinued approx 1997/98 so that's how long ago it was.

The SOINT1 is just a speaker... http://www.cqr.co.uk/images/stories/cqr_pdf/Internal%20Sounders/insound_soint.pdf Sure it wasn't a SOINT2? Or connected wrongly?

Ftdi do a usb plug that converts ttl fed to attatched flying leads

Thought it was an old tictac box before I read what you said!

I'd buy it from Security Warehouse, but TLC are OK.

Panasonic is so far behind now, even its 'dowdy but reliable' attraction is waning...

Axis stuff is universally ace.

I'd have to say I would never have used it, even the relaxation in PD6662 didn't fill me with joy. But have since used it once on a contract job and once on my own job where we were not allowed to drill anything for contacts, and it has worked far better than I'd hoped - that said I would only ever do it with a quality detector in a very shielded area.

The Scantronic iOn 30 has a TTL interface (hidden in the custom pins) but I believe it will not talk until it thinks it's talking to a recognised module. Similarly, not sure if the Texecom Premier will output plain data without handshaking with a known module first.

hello and welcome!

You typed 'of say' but I guess you meant 'id say'. Was just doing the old 'eh! Calm down! Calm down!' with norm...

Calm down!

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.

It's OK I've since worked out Of meant I'd!

En ingles por favor?

If you use this on a domestic property I would standby to be sued out of your home.

Most operating at the lower end of the market will have absolutely no formal training whatsoever and there is no requirement. However, some regulation surrounds the mains electricity part of any installation but this is very sparse now and barely enforced. The only common trade that is truly regulated is gas installation.

A full power cycle is the first stage of a 'reboot', but this brings safety issues with mains electricity as I'm sure you're aware. It's worth a try but if you don't know the engineer code (if the panel doesn't allow user reset on tamper) could land you in a worse position. These panels are OK, but MDT / Avanti went bust many years ago now and spare parts / support are gone.

As above at least that way if it ever goes off in the night you dont have to go out the house to turn it off and get bopped over the head by billy the burglar...
