    Chimney removed, seal up?

    Will that just mean the warm humid air is trapped in the chimney and stagnate to cause other issues?

    Chimney removed, seal up?

    A few years ago we removed the chimney above roof level due to recurring leaks and other issues. It was removed, the roof made good and tiled over. The chimney now ends in the loft, below the roof timbers on the inside. However, it was left like that, so the two chimney holes that feed the...

    Texecom Premier Elite new install, external bell box siren not working

    Would that still trigger the strobe even if the bell hasn't triggered? As well as waiting for the entry timer to complete, I also tried walking in front of a PIR which is set.as immediate alarm without any timer...

    Texecom Premier Elite new install, external bell box siren not working

    Really strange one... it's been a while since I installed a Texecom unit (and that was Veritas) but I've just installed a new Premier Elite 24 (wired) panel. All zones are working, and I can set the system, but when the system alarms (when I fail to enter the user code on entry) but external...

    Telecom Supervisor Fault (Ricochet sensors)

    Apologies, I've inherited this system so I presumed it wasn't a wireless panel as Ricochet monitor shows a 32XP-W in the middle of the diagram with its sensors all around. Maybe in fact it is just the on-board wireless from the 64 (Are all 64's wireless built-in)? Yes, the zones are from 9-40...

    Telecom Supervisor Fault (Ricochet sensors)

    I have a Premier Elite 64 with a 32XP-W which is handling various wireless sensors. The alarm keypad is showing Supervisor Fault on all the PIRs and shocks but the door sensor contact is okay and registers the state correctly. I loaded Wintex and everything looks ok settings wise, and...

    New alarm panel with old bell box - siren sounds when armed

    Got it! It was indeed the strobe + and - having a jumper wire between them. Removed that and it works as expected. It was like that from factory as its a brand new panel and I had not touched the strobe terminals, so I assumed they should be left alone if no strobe used. Cheers! James

    I may be wrong about linking the strobe + and - and I will get a pic tomorrow. Cheers!

    New alarm panel with old bell box - siren sounds when armed

    There is no strobe on the bell box anyway, so the strobe terminals are linked out on the control panel. I have read and re-read the engineer mwnu and it should be fine to just use 'B' for the bell trigger. I'm stumped as to why the siren would go off when going in to set mode. Thanks

    New alarm panel with old bell box - siren sounds when armed

    When inside the system counts down as normal with no zone lights activated. I can open the door and it recognises zone 1 etc and when i close it it continues the countdown as expected. As soon as the system is armed, the bell sounds. The internal sounder does not though. I will test if it lasts...

    New alarm panel with old bell box - siren sounds when armed

    You mean on the bell box side? On the alarm control panel the bell trigger is definitely wired to 'B' which is for the bell trigger. The 'set' terminal (which is next to 'B') on the control panel has nothing wired in. Thanks

    New alarm panel with old bell box - siren sounds when armed

    Hi All I've just replaced an old Veritas 8 Compact control panel with an ADE/Honeywell LogicSix (with built in key fob) but its the same as the Gen4 etc - https://www.security.honeywell.com/uk/documents/Logic%206.pdf I've got everything working apart from the external bell box. First of...

    New driveway quote - advice needed

    Typically quotes have come in not much better to take it all up, fix the sub base and relay. I'm not against paving again rather than concrete. Its just costing the same so not sure which decision to make. Thanks!
