are you sure its a positive start not negative ?
Couple of things spring to mind.
There's a diagnostic on it that tells you the state of the input, if it's in an alarm state of a healty/normal state. Check that as you do youir 'tests' with the battery.
I think by default (no manuals with me right now sorry) that input 1 defaults to call telephone number 1, input 2 calls 2 and so on. Any chance your testing input 1 but have programmed your telephone number into slot 2?
Is the sim working? can you put it in a normal phone and make calls? Doesn't it also state the unit is not compatible with a '3' sim (dont quote me)

You can set each input voltage from 0v (ground) to 12v and I've tried both.
I have measured the battery voltage and it's 12.5v.
I've looked at the input status voltage and it's showing 8v however.
i've tried altering input 1 to 8v, still no trigger.
the mobile number is inputted to input 1.
I'm using a giffgaff sim but that is O2 so wouldn't have thought it would be a problem and as said when using the keypad as a phone it dials out perfectly and dialling in goes to the menus and works the speakers etc on the unit.
it has to be something simple.
thanks for the replies

A
Alarm
Is the battery fully charged, it should be reading 13.4 or more.
A simple look at or a multi meter is not sufficient to test.
Again check the input polarity, and it is generally a negative, why change the norm.
Also it could have been changed from low, high, voltage or NO/C operation.
At default it is a NO voltage free operation, change it to voltage.
Go back through the programing. 400 option 4 I think.

Thanks for the replies chaps.
re set it to factory defaults. Programmed in the minimum necessary, everything hardware wise left the same as last night.
Working like a dream. Who knows what it was. So now a simple fit of drill a couple of holes, 3 wires and Bobs yer fookin granny hopefully.
