I believe you need a separate board in the panel for a wired bell.

Bear in mind the pstn shut off will have unknown issues with comms. I wouldnt be using pstn for any primary path. However the question is very open, I like HKC for rf, 6wb like texecom, gg likes honeywell etc

assuming normal voltages then 300mm

bell -

Oh ok fair enough ive only ever used a link

have you disturbed the cable to the keypad? Looks like the keypad isnt communicating with the panel. When was the last service (prior to this one)?

Yes that's definetly a petite. It needs a service for a start

It's not a resistor it's a link. But that will bypass it if it's in use

If you got it purely on rf strength you are way wrong even pyronix has more tx power than risco (it's near the bottom) even visonic has more tx power. Using what you have I get but if it's steam powered it's probably best to replace. I used to rate the 1 way scantronic 4xxx stuff but that was in the 90s rf is way different now

Go back to disconnecting. Remove all from the panel to the dialler apart from 1 trigger. As al-yeti and I have said. This stuff does work, I wouldn't use pstn but that's a later subject. Remove ALL triggers but 1

I meant it shouldn't do it, it's broken somewhere. Also due to age it doesn't have a timer in the external bell. The petite is a solid panel unless you have a 5.can you post a picture of the panel to confirm?

You don't want to be using pstn anymore

It's very old, probably 30 It shouldn't go off when there is a power cut

I'd try 1 trigger at a time. Just start with intruder then once your happy it's working add more

Interesting topic, are you suggesting rules have been bypassed due to extreme circumstances at the moment are you saying there is a requirement that hasnt been met? I am expecting a flood of compensation claims due to covid, your mobiles won't stop between the 'asked to work while furloughed' 'forloughed unfairly' and 'not forloughed when you should of been'. It will go on for years.

First off you need to get to a know state. I'd disconnect your triggers and meter what they do when. Maybe a picture of the current wiring etc before you disconnect

I doubt you can do a short recap. Passing information isn't an issue apart from showing any information to level 1 users. It's the arming and disarming that's the issue.

No it's a programming option

It will go into tamper yes. Consider its age and look at upgrading

No sorry they can be inverted Trigger Levels [4] The three inputs (IP1 to IP3), and the inhibit input (INH), can be individually programmed as active high (+ve trigger) or active low (-ve trigger). An active high input will trigger the Informa when the voltage present at the input exceeds 3.5V (maximum is 15V). An active low input will trigger the Informa when the voltage is less than 1.0V. a) Press [4] to change the Trigger levels. The 4 LED’s show the trigger level of inputs 1 to 3, and the inhibit input, respectively. A lit LED shows that the input is programmed as active high. b) Press keys 1 to 4 to toggle (switch) the trigger level of the inputs, between active high (+ve trigger) and active low (-ve trigger). c) Press [PLAY] when finished, or [QUIT] to ignore any changes. The Informa automatically resets to top level of the Engineering controls

Isnt there a jumper for trigger polarity?

Has this started happening recently? ie did it used to work. What exchange are you connected to and are you aware of BT pstn switch off? Sorry just read the OP Id assume you have your triggers wrong way around

Agreed that was my thought. Does texecom have a 30 second comms timer by defaultl?

How long have you left it in alarm before silencing?

Was using a real example of what trades cost, if it was security related it would be a 'rip off'
