I still cant get the programming to work been reading the manual since Monday

 

[Alarm]

Ahh the latter LED one.

Well sorry, your issue is understanding the manual not a technical issue.
I cannot really as before, I cannot really explain it better than the makers.

Its all there and how we (installers, so not sure why yours could not programme it), use the panel.

Unless its faulty, so default it to factoy and try again.

 

[cheds]

so do you think the installer has programmed it and thats why i cant omit zone 5 and i need to change it somehow

 

[Alarm]

Yes - its all in the book of words.

 

[cheds]

ah well looks like i will have to wait to try to get hold of the installer as page 34 to 41 is the only bit of the manual that doesnt make sense to me,I dont think the installer really understood them as he couldnt program the part set.

thanks

 

[Alarm]

Not being funny, but he is not an installer of that system then.
As the word installer should be used at any rate.

 

[cheds]

our old alarm went faulty and he recommended this system to us, he said thats all he ever fits and there very reliable, although he did say he never has set up a part set before as people just omit the zones they want to

 

[Alarm]

Blatent lack of understanding of the kit being used.
Far easier to do a part set than omit a zone.

Charged much for this?

 

[cheds]

he charged £140 inc alarm but he only changed the panel and keypad as he said all our pir and contacts were fine

 

[cheds]

Im not really botherered about the programming side I can live with putting the number in and pressing omit 5 but I can only set the full alarm so we cant have it on at night and my wife feels unsecure without it on

 

[Alarm]

So about 30 quid for the panel and keypad.
£100 to fit it without a clue.

Nice, no wonder this trade gets a bad name. And when we charge a correct ammout ( with warranties and back up) we get called pee takers!

 

[Alarm]

In answer to your other reply, fine if you want to do the omit sequence.
Shame he never thought of programming it.

I really feel sorry for you, what area are you in ?
If its not local to me I can probably recconmend a local company.

Hi Cheds

You must programme an exit mode to programme 2 in order for it to work, if you dont it will always revert to programme 1 ie full arm when you arm it.

hope this helps

 

[Alarm]

Cheers Red, but as I said thats all there from page 32 in the book of words.
One of the first things about P1,P2 and P3 is the exit modes.

Cheers again.
