    Building Control and Inspeciton, flat roof, do I, dont I?

    I have a similar problem. I need a flat roof recovered and got some quotes. Most don't mention building regulations. I only found out when one did. When I looked at the other quotes none would comply with the insulation. When I asked for it to comply a typical response is they don't want to...

    12V Light Slow Turning On

    Thank you. I will see if I can get to the mains going into the transformer and measure it and the output. I think I will have to cut the transfomer mains wires though and reconnect it or a new one with a terminal block. I could not get to the end of the transformer mains lead.

    12V Light Slow Turning On

    Thank you. It is only going on and off when I turn the switch on and off. What I was trying to say was after being off for some time it will take possibly 20 seconds for the light to come on after I turn the switch on which is a pull cord. The light will then turn off and back on as soon as I...

    12V Light Slow Turning On

    I have a 12V light in the ceiling of a utility room that can take about 20 seconds to turn on. Once it is on it will turn off and back on quickly until it is left off for a while. It is under a flat roof so I have very limited access to the wiring. Is the mains to 12V converter likely to be...

    Help....Scantronic 9800+ Alarm

    Is this the box with the main alarm circuit, battery and lots of wires conected to sensors and the alarm sounder on the outside of the house? Will opening it set off the main alarm on the outside of the house? There is also a smallish alarm sounder inside the house near the metal box. At...

    Help....Scantronic 9800+ Alarm

    Thank you sparkymarka. I am an electronic engineer so I should be able to clean the keypad and bridge any cracked tracks with solder and fine wire. I guess as soon as I open the RKP the alarm will go off though. I can not see anywhere to turn the mains power off from the RKP. Can you see a...

    Help....Scantronic 9800+ Alarm

    To clarify a bit more. Pressing clear then entering the code then pressing A does not produce any response. There are still just the power and day lights lit. No error code. At the moment I would be satisfied just to disable the alarm completely then worry about getting the system working...

    Help....Scantronic 9800+ Alarm

    Most key presses do not make any noise but some do. I think pressing the B and C keys made a noise. The user code followed by A did not make a noise for any of the key presses. I am at work now and will have to check when I get back. The RKP just has the power and day lights on. I have never...

    Help....Scantronic 9800+ Alarm

    Yes. Can you think of any reason why it does not respond to the code if the code is right as the previous owner insists it is?

    Help....Scantronic 9800+ Alarm

    Thank you sparkymarks. Does the alarm box have a trip switch? Will it sound the alarm when I remove the cover? I want to minimise the risk or length of time the external alarm sounds since I do not want to upset the neighbours. The prevoius owner insists he has given me the right code. I...

    Help....Scantronic 9800+ Alarm

    I did not resolve the problem and am looking at it again. I have a few more questions but do not want to start another debate. 1) If I cut the mains power to the alarm box will the alarm go off? 2) If I cut the mains power to the alarm box will the alarm go off as the battery goes flat? 3)...

    Help....Scantronic 9800+ Alarm

    Thank you Alarm. I have read the 9800 manual section Refreshing the NVM. I guess this is what I would have to do. Is turning off the main switch on the fuse box likely to do this remove the mains power? I would not think they would wire the system in before the main fuse box or even be...

    Help....Scantronic 9800+ Alarm

    I just asked and the alarm company will not give me the code. All I want is a working user code and not a system service. I have left it a long time between trying the code I have been given. It has a flap on the front so it must be the 9800 then. I am the owner of the property.

    Help....Scantronic 9800+ Alarm

    I have the same problem with a property I have just moved into. The user code I have been given does not appear to work. There is no response when I enter it and press A. The day light stays on. I have spoken with the engineer that installed it and he says it will need a full reset. They have...
