Warmapple Posted February 1, 2008 Posted February 1, 2008 Hello, I have a veritas alarm in a house i moved into. the problem is when my g/f sleeps over she sets the alarm on part setting omitting the landing. But when i am on nights i want to enter through the door and the alarms go off. how do i add another entry/exit point so i can. Thanks for your time Ian
breff Posted February 1, 2008 Posted February 1, 2008 The part set is programmed wrong, the front door is changing from an entry/exit zone to a guard zone when part set, if you have the engineer code and manual look at option 23, no zones should be selected. If no engineer code or manual you will need the services of a local engineer. The opinions I express are mine and are usually correct! (Except when I'm wrong)(which I'm not)
Warmapple Posted February 1, 2008 Author Posted February 1, 2008 I cant believe that they can get away with this, i am a qualified electrician and you have no idea how loathed i am for me to pay an "engineer" to come out and press a few buttons. rant over. Thank you for your responce
Guest anguscanplay Posted February 1, 2008 Posted February 1, 2008 I cant believe that they can get away with this, get away with what ? just ask the original installer to reboot the system ( you should be asked to sign a disclaimer)
Warmapple Posted February 1, 2008 Author Posted February 1, 2008 I have no idea who the original installer is. and even if i did im going to get charged for the pleasure. get away with locking settings to public

The previous owner of the house may have requested the alarm to be configured this way.

I doubt it, they come programmed like that out of the box, I've seen loads of them left like that where the installer missed it. The opinions I express are mine and are usually correct!

magpye Posted February 2, 2008 Posted February 2, 2008 I have no idea who the original installer is. and even if i did im going to get charged for the pleasure. get away with locking settings to public Just to clarify, "With a professionally installed system, British Standard PD6662 (effective from 1st October 2005) dictates that only engineers can access engineering. Permitting a user to access engineering breaks regulations" What you are asking for requires re-programming, therefore an engineer Qualified electricians don't have rules and regulations that they have to follow? Someone told me I was ignorant and apathetic, I don't know what that means, nor do I care.

Without reading PD6662 I may be wrong with what i am about to say and if i am please feel free to correct me if you feel the need. I doubt anywhere in this standard it will define what an "engineer" actually is. If it does im guessing it will say "a competent person" which is very hard to be defined. No where in any Electrical regualtions such as BS7671 does it state that the person needs to be an electrcian/engineer/techincian etc. "An engineer is someone who is trained or professionally engaged in a branch of engineering.[1] Engineers use technology, mathematics, and scientific knowledge to solve practical problems. People who work as engineers typically have an academic degree (or equivalent work experience) in one of the engineering disciplines" definition from wiki under that definition i am an engineer (but i dont claim to be as i have more respect for the term) so therefore should i not be allowed to access the engineering pannel?
