Guest Posted June 29, 2006 Posted June 29, 2006 The RF Light on means the panel is seeing radio interference at the same frequency as the detectors, some times powering down and back up again usually sorts this out. excellent!!! Any roadworks outside the house, wireless traffic lights can cause RF trouble excellent!!! I had the same problem with a ts690r ended up turning the anti jam off. excellent!!! Its flashing RF, not steady. Thanks, i've got alot of things to try out now. excellent!!! How old is this system? If its an early one the jamming is possibly now due to new police radio equipment.Like Whistle said turn off the jamming (on-board link) or update the system. excellent!!! If the systems are detecting Jamming and indicating so, then there IS A PROBLEM!Switching off Jamming does not cure the problem, it simply hides it from view and prevents the system from telling you. If you think about it carefully, how does the system get an alarm signal from a device to the controls? BY RADIO and the system has picked up jamming, so if you switch it off the signal may or not get through! So do you then have an effective alarm system? NO i think i have said this more than once.. You need to find the cause of the problem, not simply hiding it.Getting a professional installer of Wireless systems in to check the system and do a radio survey. and rip the traffic light off !! excellent!!! Yes I understand where you are coming from, the Manufacturer has suggested disabling the unit from alerting, ...I'd like to hear your further thoughts and welcome the input. Thanks. J excellent!!! Have you had the system serviced yet? servicing the alarm will make interference smaller?!? I think if you got an installer out to have a look at it you might find that it is something simple, I will email you the name an contact details for an installer who will look at your system and charges a reasonable rate. waste of money!!! excellent advice given (except colin) after we just had a discussion about what NOT to do when there is RF - JAM alert. thou i wouldn't advice anyone to rip of traffic lights or try to prevent police using their brand new wireless radios. get an alarm system and for petes sake stop playing with children toys! there are plenty of decent wired alarms which would have been cheaper already and had saved you from extra trouble and will be cheaper to maintain + they would be reliable unlike wireless **** !
morph Posted June 29, 2006 Posted June 29, 2006 George its about time you actually read things before you actually started posting all your ****. My comments were in regard to Johnsie's post not to the original post. Oh and thanks for being so professional that you seek to slate the questions I was asking. Your solution of ripping out a wireless alarm should there be a fault is just a joke, just because you are in another country and have strong feelings about wireless systems is not an excuse to spam every wireless post with your rubbish. You need to accept the fact that in the UK wireless systems are fitted and will continue to be fitted, in fact the noise in the industry overhear is that are set to be just as common place as wired systems, technology is changing. You either have to except that or do your own thing, but at least have the decency to stop spamming all the wireless posts. We all know your opinion, let people take on board what you have said previosuly and form there own opinions as to the suitabillity of wireless systems.
Guest Posted June 29, 2006 Posted June 29, 2006 Colin, regardless the post you were answering you were the only one to say:" You need to find the cause of the problem, not simply hiding it." if the amount of wireless gear is going to raise from what it is at the moment can you imagine how much trouble it will cause if the existing amount of wireless **** fails to perform already now?? people who believe in present wireless gear and think it is the future will be proved to be wrong.

George you said I gave bad advice, when it is not!! switching off jamming is not a solution, finding the cause is and then dealing with it. Like it or not wireless is here to stay, and of course you are fully aware that wired are not foolproof either, they both have there inherent weaknesses. Yes at this time wired is the best solution and I think you will find that I have never said otherwise. Both systems have a market, same as DIY and PROFESSIONAL installs. Manufacturers will not invest large amounts of money if they didn't feel that there was going to be a market place for their products.
Guest Posted June 29, 2006 Posted June 29, 2006 George you said I gave bad advice, when it is not!! switching off jamming is not a solution, finding the cause is and then dealing with it. colin, you got me wrong! i tried to lay down some "black" humour stating "excellent" while meaning vice versa - same applies what i said about your advice!! apparently i got lost in translation - once again Like it or not wireless is here to stay, and of course you are fully aware that wired are not foolproof either, they both have there inherent weaknesses. Yes at this time wired is the best solution and I think you will find that I have never said otherwise. Both systems have a market, same as DIY and PROFESSIONAL installs. wireless is here to stay but it is not the present wireless technique that will since it is too vulnerable for interference! that will be proved with more and more questions about antijam (if ever switched on as i could doubt reading the "advice" given) alets. Manufacturers will not invest large amounts of money if they didn't feel that there was going to be a market place for their products. of course there is a market for wireless "alarm" systems but those panels should not be compared to real ones. i only wait until there is lots of present gear installed and thieves realise how easy it is to jam them.
Johnsie Posted June 29, 2006 Posted June 29, 2006 Have you had the system serviced yet?I think if you got an installer out to have a look at it you might find that it is something simple, I will email you the name an contact details for an installer who will look at your system and charges a reasonable rate. Hi, The manufacturer says the alarm does not required to be serviced yearly, it has not been in a year as yet and has only been in since October without any issues.... Thanks for your assistance, if I move back to Scotland I will keep you in mind although it was the west coast.... .
Guest Posted June 29, 2006 Posted June 29, 2006 The manufacturer says the alarm does not required to be serviced yearly, but was does BS 6799 / BS4737 say
Johnsie Posted July 2, 2006 Posted July 2, 2006 but was does BS 6799 / BS4737 say I don't know what BS 6799 etc says, if you want to know about 802.?? then I'm your man but my wireless alarm (which had to be wireless as it's a NEW house which I didn't want wires all round the house (And no you CANT hide them, I know I looked at NETWORKING the house after it was built) The alarm I have does the job, except the recent random RF interference, I don't stay in a palace and any career criminal could have anything in the house by coming to the door with a knife etc (or asking my wife to borrow it over the fence) The previous suggestions are great, whilst I have never opened the alarm unit, I know my way around PCB's and electrical items such Computers/Laptops I would always utilise the services of a Pro when required. It was installed by an Alarm Engineer who fully tested it. Yes I purchased the alarm directly from a supplier after researching the alarm to ensure it would work for several years. Subject to me using a PC as an Alarm Controller I will stick to the current system, although this seems like a option, I love tinkering..... I think I know where the interference is coming from, another new house with a professional installation which I watched them install. My wife can, odd as it sounds, switch their alarm off with her remote keypad....she thought it was our alarm and pressed the off button(more than one occasion over the weekend)...maybe I will approach them when I see them. Thanks to all who contributed to my issue... Johnsie.
Guest Posted July 2, 2006 Posted July 2, 2006 Sounds like a site code issue, fiver says your both on factory preset conditions.

Johnsie. yeah - wireless is the future.. with present gear.. colin - could you once more tell me that wireless is the future?? i might be stupid or deaf but once more please!! so i understand it aswell! best regards stupid finn..
