  1. I have to admit I'm not entirely sure what *that* device is in English Is it for an automatic roller door?
  2. Buy a complete panel kit for £50 + VAT just for the flap then https://www.securitywarehouse.co.uk/catalog/intruder-alarm-c-36/security-control-panels-c-36_102/110-input-zone-small-c-36_102_101/scantronic-9651pd41-grade-2-8-zone-panel-with-keypad-p-3360.html
  3. You're welcome. Please rate us on www.trustpilot.com
  4. I would charge the RKP out at £75 plus 2 hours labour (but I would include 4 fobs); more if I need to crash the system (although if you're lucky you can default only the codes). I expected approved to be much more TBH.
  5. There are pretty much all of a muchness without letting us know what you expect to happen when the alarm goes off. So making your choice for you, if you just want a bell to ring, most of us here cannot truly recommend any one over the other than their familiarity with the brand. I appreciate as a consumer you are approaching this as consumers do, but this is not Apple vs. Android, all 3 of them will competetently do the exact same thing and last at least 10 years, if looked after.
  6. It will really vary by area and competence, an SSAIB / NSI installer will quite properly charge in the region of £300 I imagine. However, if you were to use a non-approved firm (this does not mean they will do a bad job) it could be half that. I would certainly allow for an absolute minimum of £140-150. But, by changing it to a 9943 keypad you can stop using codes and use plastic fobs, which is a nice upgrade (you don't have to alter anything on the main unit) and you'll never have to open the keypad flap again!
  7. It is unlikely the engineer code would be written down - except - when a builder puts it in I suppose. Once you think you've found it, enter it on the keypad, you *might* have to proceed it with zero, e.g 0 + code (so you're entering 5 digits in total) but try without first. If it says 'INSTALLER MODE' on the screen, you've got the engineer code!
  8. I wouldn't worry about controls until you've had a professional survey the property, and more importantly your needs and expectations should the alarm be triggered.
  9. Hi Carl, you will need to know the engineer number - are you in contact with your original installer or did you install it yourself / inherit the system with a new house?
  10. Hi there, DIY members are welcome!
  11. Reminds me of that YT vid of 'MY 8 £1000 GUN DOGS WERE STOLEN AT LUNCHTIME BUT WEVE GOT THEM ON CCTV DOING IT PLEASE SHARE'; yeah, but because you came home a full 6 hours later they've binned their masks, torched the car, and split the dogs up, had you had an alarm to alert you *at the time* you might have got somewhere.
  12. Didn't get alarm manual Did end up thinking had cancer due to symptoms common with alarm monkey business
  13. Funny old site this, people...
  14. No it's called having eyes **** face Joking aside (you ****) we had one on the back of our house when we bought it, 'Pier Fire Co.' Elmdene Starlight on the front, classy little mix Obviously I binned the Elmdene and upgraded the Master to a 9448. 3 Zone version I'm not made of money yeah?
  15. I used to use them resistorless on scanny domestics but don't any more - have you tried any other value of resistor e.g. 10k (or 2 x 4.7 )
  16. With those sensors, it will false alarm constantly on a shed, I guarantee it, and then you will not trust it, and then you will remove it, and then when you are burgled, you won't know... That said Y I just bought a metal shed from Amazon as a temporary store so we can get on with doing up the annexe. £100 4 x 6 full height, with a metal raised floor frame, not the usual sat-on-the-patio crap. It's a 'warehouse' clearance product so it'll probably arrive with half the bits missing and need sending back, but until then I thought that was pretty good since they are selling the non-floor model for £250 odd still. Even the door contacts are chinktat contract special. Oddly it's the bells that give these away from the outside, unlike most badge up jobs it seems they really were specially made for this crud. IIRC they supply a 99p grade piezo siren you have to drill to the wall using No.4 screws, they supply the cheapest speaker wire to connect it up via a terminal block, then you put the cover over the top. Yeah as I say pulled a few out, but couldn't reuse a single wire.
  17. That was a restrained response from the C man... This is a 10 year old thread, so I assume it's now 20 year old alarm Ah no, I thought that rang a bell (wait there's more...) It's this pile of dung, I've removed about 4 of these, all of them were disconnected for some reason #headscratch https://www.ebay.co.uk/c/1308078076 As sold by QVC, LOL. https://web.archive.org/web/20010301210316/http://www.tdbm.com/
  18. I'm not sure if anyone here uses Pyronix, but maybe someone will have had a similar experience.
  19. I agree it's tat but did think it was unique tat designed and made in China for Yale, never seen anything much like it without the badge? Although I guess at the end of the day the sensors are probably the same as any other reference design with a unique looking case...
  20. Not any more H, now I shipped off those two boxes to Logan I can actually sleep on the FLOOR of the understairs cupboard #lux That's one less person to send a Clunge Security promo corporate card / calendar to at Xmas. This years calendar was our 2 whippets dressed as historical figures so you're the loser, frankly.
