  1. try the above before reenrolling. Just because its been working for x years doesnt mean it will never stop. Imagine saying to the garage that their cant be anything wrong with your car that just broke down after 6 yrs of trouble free use
  2. I would always connect your detectors to a control panel then the panel to the dialler. Yes gsm diallers do exist but alarm pros would use a monitored path device not a dialler
  3. prove a range issue by taking the device to the panel. Have had local interference affect devices in the past
  4. your not covered Also a panel can be defaulted etc when its got a support contract on it, reprogrammed and the maintainer has all the liability without any control of how its programmed. I do agree that systems (all programmable devices) should be defaulted on maintainer change. As above this can be foc or a site visit. I suppose its similar with locked phones. An installer has invested in training, support and even how to make x work with y. That information and knowledge belongs to that person/company. The bit of kit belongs to whoever bought it and can be used how they see fit. A lot of equipment now also has other passwords, security questions etc stored in it, remote codes all sorts. All this needs defaulting once the maintainer has lost control of it.
  5. I have tested extreme range of this, on a farm environment it was about 1km. At the time wish I had the powered mesh unit in theory I could of got 8, I will at some point do range testing on the leading manufacturers, but that needs a beach to be fair
  6. Its better to lock to protect the company and insurer etc. Plus the programming belongs to the maintainer. eg SIA lock all but do default on request. If the ex client doesnt want to pay for the default, boards are defaulted foc at the office. Issues with gear is how they are programmed, passwords used in onvif, how systems are setup etc. Plus incoming company should always default to know it is programmed to their requirements with the client that may have changed. Had a conversation recently regarding this and there is the potential for liability issues for the outgoing company 'if' the incoming company can prove they didnt change xyz option. Always better to default on leaving and incoming
  7. Agreed that's how I did pre sharpie that would of helped loads
  8. That and foil I remember doing that as a 14 Yr old
  9. Sorry OP Ive never worked on a DSC system However it sounds like it configured to only talk to its previous panel which is obviously unavailable. Id assume there is a reset procedure that may require the old keypad to program the 'new old' one in
  10. I doubt Pete would give me the keys to the ferrari, or the Merc I'd be lucky to get one of the yaris or a too big van
  11. no the dumpbox was for classics. It may work on smaller panels though ive never tried you use the keypad with the spi keys though
  12. you can set ee to instant when part set just like you can set access circuits when full set
  13. Thats a good shout re movement of the key, regarding faraday just put them in the microwave, off obviously If your car gets nicked you badly need a new microwave!
  14. Im sure many of your clients have had this happen to them, how do you lot advise against it, do you drive a keyless car etc? Mine isnt keyless and i wouldnt want one but i get the convenience of it. However im still astounded new cars are sold with the same tech that allows relay or easy key cloning.
  15. agreed its an awful option and should never be used If its wired use a dt, if rf use the hkc dt or better still dont use space protection in a shed
  16. as you have found yes you can change the ee to alarm on part det like you can have access etc when full set
  17. No it doesn't have any inputs for that. Just upgrade to a panel with app support Plus it shouldn't be randomly activating fix that first imo
  18. id use active beams for scaffolding. you can get wireless ones then use an rf door contact with inputs to get it to the galaxy. I dont use galaxy rf but i think you need an rf portal now not an rf rio. But im not 100%
  19. agreed but if its in short, putting it across a battery with no fuse will spark a lot...
  20. via a fuse... If your disconnecting the sounder and it showing 12v in alarm then you either have a knackered sounder or cable issue. Have you metered the cable?
