    Wherever you are, you can order Risco remotes via the magic of the interwebs.

    TBF not as such, I suppose I was thinking of keypads etc... displaying status but ultimately what lamps etc... the installer connects to outputs is up to them. Weren't Abel going to have a colour changing logo on their stainless bell once, but regs changed and they didn't? Or did they think regs would state they would HAVE to show confirmed etc... externally?

    Yes I'm surprised that's allowed post PD6662 but they seem to do it even now, certainly the new carphone warehouse kiosk near us built about 18 months ago does.

    Newer strobes have a 24 hr guarantee which was brought in under the Sorry We Can't Attend Right Now, All Units Are Utilised Act 2015. Quote this and I guarantee you'll get a Distinction.

    Hmm thats a point.... Saw the huge poster beside the road this am and lol'd

    Youve lost your 50/50 but you can still phone a friend acquaintance

    You can still buy this model, Scantronic are now owned by Eaton, they still use 'Scantronic' but badge 'low end' models as 'Eaton' now, such as the 9448 and i-On 16 However, your best bet would be to buy a Scantronic 9651, as you'll gain an LCD (separate) keypad, and it comes with full instructions.

    It's curtains for you either way mate! http://mendipsnowsport.co.uk/yeti-hunt/

    What model do you have now? If you get stuck point us to a picture of a similar keypad on google images etc...

    If you must I guess OpenTAP is the better option as you'll soon get to hear about any system problems or service withdrawl via their web page... but will it be too late!?

    Which is mad, I can't believe it's a huge problem, surely a software thing? Interesting though, two RoI designed panels...
  12. datadiffusion
    You don't BT supports only the far superior ETSI protocol which for some odd reason panel manufactures don't appear to use, but most consumer DECT phones and the Siemens SPC panel do. Edit - and HKC it would seem...
  13. datadiffusion
    Yup
  14. datadiffusion
    Yep when it comes to flush I still rate elmdene better than Knight, who I use for everything else.

    But if you must use TAP this service no longer requires registration (never used it mind) https://www.open-telecom.co.uk/cms/products-services/opentap-tap-to-sms-email-gateway-service-provider/

    Hello & welcome!
  17. datadiffusion
    Hats off to SPC, they use ETSI, not the terrible TAP - ETSI is actively supported by BT and the texts are sent and arrive in approx 2 seconds, even on an ADSL line. I can't work out why other manufacturers don't use this format??

    If the display is showing bobbins, the chances are it may 'go off' at any time and for any reason. So you have nothing to lose by trying a user code for one. I have seen this before when there has been a break on the 'clock' line I think, it might be worth re-booting the whole system from cold, and checking the connections at each end before you do so. I take it you have the engineer code?

    Something like a Honeywell AG6

    Sorry I got the idea this was a battery powered alarm for a shed or similar, the Bentley is very basic and probably not for you if not. The Optima is very simple and I assume has a built in speaker, i.e a low volume sounder, and yes it has space for battery backup. I would still recommend an external siren such as the AG6

    By the keypad, yes, this is true - and I the Gal ain't exactly intuitive! There are 2 systems I have installed that I'd never contemplate via the RKP alone, thats Premier and SPC (tbf with the SPC a lot is not even available via the RKP) The i-On I'd hate to do via RKP but the 'mobile phone' style structure makes it just about palatable...
  23. datadiffusion
    Right.. so you have got the engineer code. Well, you'll need to find a manual, start again as if it were a new system, and let us know when you get stuck. Just reply on this same thread.
  24. datadiffusion
    The engineer can of course be anyone, but, you'll need to find an installation manual to find out how to reset the system. Unfortunately we don't give that info out here, nor engineer manuals, but if you do figure it out there are a few Risco fans on here that could probably help you once you have your own engineer code.
  25. datadiffusion
    I would personally recommend that you get someone in at this point to give it the once over, make sure all the batteries are new, and reprogram it.
