  1. Assuming you have set the relevant circuit correctly then it may have an nvm issue. It's very old now
  2. 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
  3. You want to be on 200 ohms not 200k for the short tests
  4. 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
  5. 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
  6. texecom do a standalone reciever so do eaton (scantronic) But id want a control panel for logging, locking out, resetting etc
  7. Are you sure you have an external sounder? Most adt systems are just empty boxes outside
  8. james.wilson replied to bjj's topic in Networks
    or go for mesh. Im looking at the netgear orbi for my place
  9. Do you have a remote psu or seperate rf reciever?
  10. 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
  11. You using for cctv or access control? Also you might be better off posting on the trade side
  12. 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
  13. 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
  14. Or the line has been migrated and doesnt work anymore?
  15. Damn if we had know your 79 we would of been less helpful... Glad your bodged for now
  16. 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?
  17. 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
  18. What Panel?
  19. i think a zero reading to sparks is on 20k, to alarm lads 50 ohms is a concern
  20. 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
  21. Out of interest why did you replace the fuse box?
  22. No the keypad has to match the panel
