The instructions on these are equally unclear but i think i may have it right concerning resistors etc.

unclear? the sticker inside lid the tell you how to wire it?

It's not really a question of support, if they gave you instructions in plain english that didn't contradict themselves then i wouldn't have a problem with it! Im a qualified electrician and as such have a basic understanding at least! I'm not familiar with some of the terminology used but it seems they make it deliberately difficult for diy installation...is this to protect the trade?

you got the double sided quick guide? all the info on it to be fair its far from complex...

is the product suitable for use in this country?

Your missing the point, the panel is not a DIY panel, the instructions given are written for the installing engineers who have been trained in the correct installation and programming of the panel. This is why the instructions do not mean a lot to most DIY installers.

I can understand that you may be a qualified electrician, but that doesn't mean you automatically mean you know how to fit every electrical panel or control that was ever made. As an electrician you will understand why many products only come with basic instructions, they are meant to be installed by competent persons, bit like buying electrical products from screwfix and B&Q, you can but the law says you shouldn't fit them unless you are competant and in the case of a Home part P compliant.

One of the guys has already suggested that you use the the Bs method on start up, that is the best option for your circumstances.

No one has suggested using the BS method have they??

I'm not saying that as an electrician i will know how to fit anything....and i often have to refer to instrucions when fitting some electrical gear.

All i'm saying here is...there are four wires or sometimes six to connect....how can it be that difficult for instrucions to tell you where to fit them! The programming seems fairly self explanetry, but i have to get the hardware connected correctly first....

So, BS is best for me then?

Richl did but he didn't refer to it by name.

Have a look here it might help http://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/diy_install.asp

It's all double dutch to me richl....

What i could do with is a circuit diagram.....only have one pir and two shock sensors to wire in so can't be that difficult can it?

And do i set up with BS or EN? They dont explain the difference so i'm clueless!

Bulgaria is probably a good investment but i feel it's now getting overdeveloped at the coasts and ski resorts and supply is out weighing demand.

I have a place in a village 30mins from ski resort. it needs lots of work but what do you expect for 15K? Prices rising steadily and may take off after january. Certainly worth a look around, can get return flights for

Rich, yes i think supply outweighs demand at the moment, particularly regarding new apartments. However, if you buy away from the resorts you can get very cheap property.

If you give me yer email addy i will send u a picci of what i bought. The structure is ok but i have to put in an inside toilet/bathroom and replaster, plumb, wire etc etc. all good fun if like me you are into all that!

There is a very good website with forum, and all the info you could wish for. You can search properties (top left of homepage) to give you some idea.
