Hello, I'm planning on cutting and installing a PVC-U french door into the side of my garage. The wall is single skin, the door is 1190mm wide. Is it ok to sit the door directly onto the DPC or do I need to leave a row of bricks between the DPC and the door. thanks in advance

That's a very good point!! Thanks for the response (y)

hello, I have a texecom wireless bell box, odyssey3 I can position the jumper for the comfort LEDs to be off , or constantly on (alternate flashing). Is there a way to set them up so they only flash when the alarm is armed? Thanks

Thanks for that. when I checked ricochet monitor last night I had the following on the bell, do you know what that the red squares on the bell, strobe and extended tones means? there's nothing in the ricochet manual about the bell Thanks again

is there another way to see how the PIRs are set up?

Hi, thanks for te response,everything is wireless, 5 quad PIRs and 3 standard XT type. The PIR setting is the confusion, according to the manual a zone with a ricochet item on it will have the zone wiring options replaced by the Ricochet options. I still have the wiring options.

Hi, after a bit of advice, over the last month I've installed a Texecom premier elite 24 (after taking lots of info from this forum!). I though I had everything set up but I did the walk test on Saturday and I couldn't get any of the LEDs on the PIRs to activate or the panel to chime (all of the...

Thanks for the reply Steve, I suspected that might be the case. I'll try to get NHBC on it

hello, i came home yesterday to a faint streak of damp running along the ceiling of a room and down a wall. this morning i took the floorboards up and the other side of the plaster is bone dry (the stain is running down the joint in the boards on the ceiling). There are no water pipes anywhere...
