Thanks for the offer, but the fact is l only need an alarm on the shed door because of an electric bike but that is also covered by CCTV, if need be l will detach the bell and just use the internal sounder for the shed, in the past locals have had alarms go off and they have been totally...

It states on the panel it is a Veritas 8 and here is the PCB from the manual l have borrowed and it looks exactly like that with the front off, l described it as a Veritas 8 in the post title because that is what is written on the front panel, l even stated it was a very old model of over 20...

My friend that emailed me the page that l previously uploaded was able to get hold of the original installation manual for me and dropped it off this morning so l can photocopy it and return it to him to return to the owner. l have attached the relevant page and from section 2.12 and the above...

Just an update l finally got a tamper fault while in unset mode at about 11pm last night, it gave event an Zone number and flashing light which was Zone 6, this is the kitchen PIR and l was in the kitchen at the time (see attached files). It had been in unset mode since l deliberately sent off...

Thanks again for your replies secureiam, To confirm, l am using the factory set original engineers code, and have followed your instructions below using the panel not the RKB and l have even videoed it but can't upload the 1.2sec video because it is to large, the panel just beeps once with no...

It is the engineers code l am using but when l press Prog it does nothing l get a beep and unset flashes and if l press 41 that should bring up the last event unset stops flashing. I have also tried reconfiguring the RKB on the panel and the RKB and both show the correct remote number and l...

Thanks for your advice, The last event was a delibrate alarm on full, in the event log it gave a steady red at 2 which was the door l opened to turn the alarm off, and a flashing 1 which was the zone l activated to turn the full alarm on, when l press omit those lights stay the same and l get a...

Thanks for the advice/comments, due to the fact l have had no tamper faults while the system is in unarmed mode or fully armed mode, with about 6 tamper faults over a 4 week period at various times of day, and the system would have only be armed partly or fully for about 7 hours a day until the...

Will do but l am just waiting for the part alarm to trigger tamper to see how long it lasts this time!

Hi Sparkymarka, If it is the bell box it hasn't done to badly because it must have been in use for over 20 years possibly 25, I went out for a few hours today and decided to check the full alarm on return, I triggered Zone 1 which is the shed door no timed delay full alarm from opening and used...

Hi secureiam and sparkmarka, Thank you for the information and advice, I am attaching some pictures that I hope will help, as you can see I have now reconnected RKB, and can check the last 7 alarm events. It is easier to take pictures of the RKB than the panel because it is in a cupboard, but...

Yes l do, and l was using it to test the magnetic door contacts when you replied, and l got a bit of a surprise. Although l had fully powered down the panel both mains and battery l am still getting a small amount of current from the door contact wiring, but it is less than 1 millvolt, l...

Hi All, Firstly sorry about the long post but I wanted to give as much detail as possible because it is an intermittent tamper fault with no fault zones indicated on the panel or fitted RKB’s, the panel and RKB’s were fitted before I bought the house. I have regularly changed the backup battery...

Thanks for the quick replies. @PrenticeBoyofDerry The sockets are on a 16Amp type B and yes on them there is BSEN60898. You got me on the "You also want Ze readings and r1+r2 readings. The Zs conformity would depend on your breaker type and rating" I just had the meter at home and decided...

Good afternoon All, I was hoping to get some advice regarding a 2 up 2 down property was partly rewired about 8 years ago by the previous owner, the downstairs wiring and all sockets were done, although the CU was not changed there is an old Wylex with MCB's in. The is an earth bond on...
