    be interesting if it is the ac noise and the 1313 would of cured?
  2. james.wilson
    the veritas is a budget panel, maybe the driver isnt as powerful as the one taken out?
  3. james.wilson
    yes it s the smoothing cap, do you have a scope to check the supply, is the cap bulging?

    look at the latest npcc force policy. however it will probabky become mandatory for installers but isnt yet. Plus my vote on comitee currently is i want a documemt that has some industry input. cyber essentials does not and has little to do with intruder alarms and alarm companies. i say little not nothing.

    Hi Scott Im afraid the above quote isnt 100% true. Previous force policy had this as a requirment but is now optional. You may also want to look at the bsia scheme CySPAG

    I'd say no rad can heat up quick enough I wouldn't worry about it say it. Above yes is an issue. The only force that can defeat the 1.6-2.4 degree a second change is our Sun. Apart from open fires and log burners. Tldr don't worry about radiators

    Supposedly working from home?

    Boom you got this...

    yeah dont use them anymore but when i did, strip in the normal way (leaving some insulation to twist tight) then wrap around a 2.5mm terminal driver, remove screw and washer and push through loop of cable making sure to keep so when it tightens it doesnt loosen the coil.

    Bear in mind that switch mode psu add what looks like induced ac.id be interested to see what a new psu does. Mine is knacked cos I've overloaded it lots in testing.
  11. james.wilson
    Excellent
  12. james.wilson
    or try removing the ac power (pull fuse) for a bit and see if it continues when on battery only. Also measure your induced ac with the mains off to see the difference between the psu on and off

    22.3 on mine
  14. james.wilson
    well at least you think so Al!

    I suppose I'd test it by running it on a lead to another location not fixed to the wall
  16. james.wilson
    wall totally flat? ie the keypad backplate isnt twisted?
  17. james.wilson
    Agreed but those ones shouldn't be in circulation anymore iirc they were the 1st gen?
  18. james.wilson
    Not seen it myself but most keypad are set to always on. The close to wake is an rf keypad thing but allows you to have wired and rf kehpads seem similar. I'd say you have a faulty one
  19. james.wilson
    I'm assuming wired keypad? No not seen that ever is it doing at minute clock changes?

    Check if another device works next to the sounder. If it does it would suggest a sounder issue. Also note this system is an old 1 way system and should be upgraded really
  21. james.wilson
    I think you need to enter the code first
  22. james.wilson
    I don't think that is the procedure for walk test. Are you just pressing *?
  23. james.wilson
    Yeah I use a hdmi to usb adapter and then open then screen up in the app there is a 100ms lag though which I can't remove
  24. james.wilson
    As many of you know im writing an engineer app that we use as a test monitor, ip camera tool etc as well as job sheets etc Just wondering what tools / apps you find the most useful i can consider adding. ie I added flashing of the network port connection to help find the port in racks that has been well used since being added.

    Also need to bear in mind some stability. When it comes to detectors they all have to balance catch performance vs false alarms. Napco used to be very stable for example but could miss an elephant. Then an alarmcom ir160 wouldn't miss a knat leaving the elephants back. I do quite like optex for that balance. I hate 'pet sensors' cos imo you can't ask a pir to do that reliably
