    It looks like you have used a optima gen4 manual on a non gen4 optima. What optima do you have? If its pre xm you may have just blown it

    Does it need manager Auth for udl

    Assuming you have set the relevant circuit correctly then it may have an nvm issue. It's very old now

    agreed but 2000 ohms is a lot. I would expect it to be the pir but if you test the tamper switch at 200 ohms this will confirm, testing set on 200k wont show a high reading. It should be very close to 0.3 ohms (not 0.3 K Ohms) plus whatever size the built in series resistor ir (not the ones in the terminals) you could try adding something to the red dot to adjust the close point if the case is slightly twisted

    You want to be on 200 ohms not 200k for the short tests
  6. james.wilson
    Put your meter on 200 ohms. Yes short the blue and yellow to check the cable but I'd expect a connection or the tamper switch the reading should be steady and not fluctuate

    Disconnect the circuit at the panel and meter the tamper pair on the sensor. The tamper switch is the red dot. Then short the cables at the pir and measure the resistance at the panel

    texecom do a standalone reciever so do eaton (scantronic) But id want a control panel for logging, locking out, resetting etc

    Are you sure you have an external sounder? Most adt systems are just empty boxes outside
  11. james.wilson
    or go for mesh. Im looking at the netgear orbi for my place
  12. james.wilson
    Do you have a remote psu or seperate rf reciever?

    As above if an intruder alarm fails to perform your insurance company would claim from the maintaner. Thats why Insurance companies want an approved company as they have to have the specialist insurance for this. As such systems are locked down to prevent an innocent change to the config actually having unforseen problems. So without that you may not have a valid insurance cover

    You using for cctv or access control? Also you might be better off posting on the trade side
  15. james.wilson
    If its for fixing cables in a fire proof way etc then yes spit nailer. You can get hardened nails for the battery mailers but I've never tried them
  16. james.wilson
    agreed looks like a big blustu, maybe an isdn one? also looks more like outputs in use apart from pin 1. Is it on a Fire panel? However just a heads up not sure it ever passed CE
  17. james.wilson
    Or the line has been migrated and doesnt work anymore?
  18. james.wilson
    Damn if we had know your 79 we would of been less helpful... Glad your bodged for now
  19. james.wilson
    no you need a radio reciever and that panel wont take one. Prox fobs shouldnt be temperamental are you presenting it to the right area?
  20. james.wilson
    OK, what's your installer/maintainer say on setup choices? You can inhibit things on higher end hardware per arm not sure on pyronix stuff
  21. james.wilson
    What Panel?
  22. james.wilson
    i think a zero reading to sparks is on 20k, to alarm lads 50 ohms is a concern
  23. james.wilson
    As above 6 is correct.
  24. james.wilson
    Depends on what you have, if it's installed correctly then yes but you have took on the liability by removing it. You should of called your maintainer
  25. james.wilson
    Out of interest why did you replace the fuse box?
