  1. Id just do the wires else you wont be able to see the colour bands If you wire the internal tamper into a circuit it will need reistors. The external sounder will use a tamper return and wont
  2. Yes that contact doesn't have a tamper switch so thats ok. I would insulate the resistors though. On the pir there is no need for them to be that long
  3. Sorry Mark I dont know. I was viewing your contact image on the mobile and then deleted it. Sorry. Can you put it back up please
  4. Bear in mind just cos it appears to work doesnt mean it right. A kettle will work without an earth
  5. Thats wrong. Its running single eol not dual. The black wire should be in the empty tamper terminal
  6. al no one should berate anyone trying to learn genuine question How would you respond to someone having a go at servicing / working on your stuff that hadnt done it before?
  7. goncall is a very good alarm engineer. Its different. Id struggle with what hoses could do what
  8. if you can go the eol route then do, but at your risk its not needed. Better yes but no needed. Id say double pole and proper signalling was way better than eol and bells or a dialler. Its the end result that matters (ie you get to know somethings happening) not your choice of dp or eol agreed Gaz this is in the diy section
  9. there is a reason the pro installers use certain gear. it wouldnt be an excel or a voice dialler. I accept it seems to tick all the boxes till you know how it all works
  10. id say so yes speech dialler is also imho poor as you dont know it will work when its needed. Plus pick up the phone in the hall and dial anything its not gonna call anyone
  11. eol is just about values forget the above image for a moment and follow the circuit. if the circuit is closed (ie door shut) then the circuit resistance should be 10k. When the circuit is open (ie door open) then the current flow has to go through the alarm resistor (in this case 22k) so 32k is measured. Id say 99% of excel installs are done double pole not eol. Eol is a feature of higher end gear and the excel imho isnt
  12. Mark, the above is correct you 'can' loop it out with a resistor or program the input as not used. sixwheelbeast knows the better texecom stuff backwards. I would trust his info

  14. I think the best advice is to get a bt/virgin socket fitted so the op can continue with his service provider. re impartial, they would say that wouldnt they
