eBay tat roundup - the best and worst from the 'bay

[datadiffusion]

Blimey that's presumably a bit of a bargain! Well, if you need one. Though I can't imagine anyone needing one for insurance purposes etc... buying it on ebay.

 

Wow, even then (guessing late 90s?) these Thorn bells were made in China!

its a zone omit module, do you not know what there common use is ?

[MrHappy]

a common use would be a 24hr circuit on say a wine / spirit store in the cellar in public house

 

anyone opening the door would set the alarm off, a zone omit module would permit authorised people to use set the 24hr circuit & access the store.

 

There a 2 types, one with key on the front & one controlled by an external switch normally a 5 lever chubb lock in the door

 

The common method was contact on the door with cc wiring inside under hardboard, operating the chubb lock turned off of the circuit secure the lock on the door  turned the alarm back on
