    Happy.christmas Bear in mind this forum is funded by security professionals. I hope the free advice has helped

    Alan it will need a service I'm not saying you can't do it yourself but if you never service it will fail at some point. Do some preventative checks
  3. james.wilson
    This should always been changed leaving anything with default codes is a huge risk on a system designed to be secure. All systems need to be serviced or they will eventually fail, usually at 2am etc

    id assume you havnt got the lid on correcrtly or you have damaged the tamper switch. You have done nothing else but remove the lid of the panel? its also going to need a service even if you do it yourself

    Regarding ha texecom have the lead. That's a hack but imagine if a proper panel supported it
  6. james.wilson
    Don't know the panel but I'd attempt to save it.

    no not poor design just different ages and ways of doing it. you cant just write of all the gear for 1 reason. same issues with gals for instance. they afaik dont offer remote flashing. look at all things from that era, redcares and old (pre ww1) couldnt be upgraded remotely. eaton i think can but not scanny 9800 etc

    correct the hkc panel downloads the firmware image checks it then overwrites. So if it fails half way through etc it ignores the upload. I think the texecom does a direct write so if it fails half way through it bricks. Other gear is like that too it depends how much storage space is available and id say the firmware file on the texecom is larger than the hkc as the panels are more than 240 circuits
  9. james.wilson
    yeah as above i think it copies straight to the memory, possibly because the flash hasnt the room for 2 copies of firmware

    Seems a popular topic?
  11. james.wilson
    Well resolved
  12. james.wilson
    Agreed you do need to get up to it and remove it
  13. james.wilson
    Hello and welcome
  14. james.wilson
    be cautious what you choose and avoid the diy ones

    No he is removing old pointless stuff in favour of ring. Hi BTW glad your here
  16. james.wilson
    be interesting if it is the ac noise and the 1313 would of cured?
  17. james.wilson
    the veritas is a budget panel, maybe the driver isnt as powerful as the one taken out?
  18. 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.
  20. james.wilson
    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?
  23. james.wilson
    Boom you got this...
  24. james.wilson
    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.
  25. james.wilson
    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.
