A competent person who's experienced l with the product is what you need, If you have the eng code / the pcb is unlocked, is an easy job..... if you know the product Batteries in correct way. Yes got engineers code. Have been in touch with a few local alarm installers, they dont want to know as its not there system. So trying my best to fix it without doing more harm than good. Got a engineers installation manual on it, awfull guide, but better than nothing. But not intended for home owners to use so understanding what menual and sub menus etc and numbers is a pain. Dont know why i would get a false alarm for patio and shed wireless sensors saying L as patio door sensor is new and both have new batteries. Perhaps caused by landing window sensor playing up? Why outside siren would go off with new wireless sensor and not original when system on test mode i no idea unless i need to change default settings on panel for new sensor. ?? Time to save money up i think next and pull the system out. Getting to be annoying now. Quote

karl taylor Posted June 3, 2017 Author Posted June 3, 2017 Why after fitting a new wireless sensor to the landing and then testing the system it sets off the externel siren as well as the internal one. The old sensor never did this. ? So decided to refit old wireless sensor to landing. put system on test . Now sensor works again and no external siren is heard just the internal one when i open the landing window on test mode. Absolutely crazy this risco gear. Quote
karl taylor Posted June 10, 2017 Author Posted June 10, 2017 wireless sensor for outside shed has triggered again , exactly a week on from last time after i repaired the sensor . setting off internal alarm at 4am . outside shed L !!!! spoken to risco who have said its a lost signal fault . is there any risco gardtec experts on this forum who can tell me why I am getting this fault ? there must be a way of stopping these alarms from setting off the internal alarm , so i just get a panel warning rather than a internal siren going off? Getting very close now to me pulling this system out the house as now as loosing my patience with it .................new up to date alarm system I think? Quote

Put repeater closer to wall nearest to shed , think you can do that quite easily Quote
karl taylor Posted June 10, 2017 Author Posted June 10, 2017 Thanks for the advise. Have now had to email risco again. To be honest now i have just about given up with the stupid thing. Small shed us saying Tamper with internal alarm going off. Tried 5 times today to fix it by unistalling and then reinstalling the sensor but no good. Have swapped sensor over with another one and it works fine in that zone but not for shed. Have even tried fitting my spare new sensor to it and also creating a new zone with either the old or new sensor but makes no odds. The system worked fine for a few years but now its knackered i think. Another fault which has happened at the same time is the landing window which has a wireless sensor on it when i open the window when the alarm is not activated it sets the full house alarm off. So i put the flag up, i need to get some one in now. I ring risco up on monday and find out who are the approved service engineers for the alarm in my area and take it from there now as i carnt do any more. I give up. Think now could be the time to ditch it. Whats one of the more realiable wired and wireless systems out at the minute? Quote
