Good evening all, I hope you'll excuse my first post being a question but it seems I have little where else to go!
Having moved into my current house in 2009, it's gotten around to that time where some redecorating is required. This will, unfortunately, require the re-routing of some of the alarm cables - the alarm panel is downstairs and there is a secondary box in the loft (not sure what this is as I'm not about to open it!); this box has inputs from the PIR units in the house and the cables run down the center of a wall in the bedroom below where there was once a fitted wardrobe.
Whilst, in true DIY spirit, I'm up to the challenge, when I called up my alarm installer I was presented with a no-number tone; further investigation indicates they're no longer in business.
So, I'd just like to check that:
1) Simply entering "engineer" mode will disable the alarm tamper circuits (fortunately I have the code) - and no options need to be set to allow this.
2) There are no problems with me using standard terminal blocks to connect the cables if necessary.
The engineer/install manual probably explains this but I don't have it - only the user manual - and I'm aware that I can't request it (and no, this isn't a subtle request ) - so I'll just ask the two questions above instead.
Many thanks for your assistance.
