Very good!

Many thanks. You are probably correct regarding the capacitor. Rookie mistake! Cleaned it up and tried again, but since it blew the fuse, take it to the 'recycle' centre. Can't be bothered to waste more time on it. Such is the consumer world in which we live.

What ho one and all, I have an electric (drum type) garden shredder that recently stopped working. Found the problem was the starting capacitor, which was been replaced and it almost works again. Almost, because the forward / reverse switch does not always send the drum rotating in the...

Just a heads-up and thank you for the advice. Took the tamper fault RKP off-line and the fault did not reappear on the front door RKP. So have figured out a way to tightly 'hold the front to the back which has for the past 24 hrs, not produced a temper fault. Using epoxy, I glued a slightly...

Thanks; I will change to 1 in the morning. But is 2 also OK? It could be dodgy wiring but until I moved the RKP 6cms, there has not been any problems. I personally think the problem is that in access the RKP, the two top tabs snapped off, and the stupidly designed tab on the bottom, that the...

Just to be clear, there are two options. 1/ remove the two tamp wires on the RKP and join them together. This maintains the connectivity but has taken the dodgy RKP out of the loop. 2/ On the control panel, remove the two tamp wires and link the two terminals with the U shaped link thing...

Again, many thanks. Today, I removed the insulation tape holding the case together, stretched the tamper spring a bit and replaced the case, ensuring the tape was tight. Low and behold, the Tamper Lockout Fault message has gone and the system appears to be working as it should. I think I will...

Understand and many thanks. Your advice is much appreciated.

Thanks. Will this remove tamper from both RKP (I have two, front door and garage; the garage also has PIR coverage) If no tamper and the PIR is activated, after the entry countdown, the alarm will sound if not deactivated by myself?

This garage RKP has a 30 sec entry / exit timer set. Can I take the tamper off-line? Presumably, doing so would not affect the operation of the RKP, just means that if it is ripped from the wall .....? But to rip it from the wall, they would have already activates the timer countdown...

Interesting and thanks. It really annoys me that I will have to replace the RKP because the quality of manufacture of the plastic box is so poor. Most likely, a Made in China bit of expletive deleted.

What ho all self isolators, I have been researching a Tamper Fault Lockout message on my Accenta G4 Mini RKP and can find lots of solutions, but don't feel any further forward in solving the issue. At the weekend, I moved the garage RKP about 6 cms because it was too close to a wall hanging...

Thanks for your reply. Followed the advice in the booklet, which suggest to remove the cover and when the tamper kicks in, enter the code to stop the bell. Only wanted to reposition about 6cms, and managed to do it without disconnecting the RKP. It is fitted to a timber framed wall, so kinda...

What ho one and all, I want to reposition one of the two RKP on my Accenta G4 alarm. I know how to silence the alarm if I am replacing the back-up battery, but if I remove the RKP cover, the alarm will be activated and presumable, the keys will not work as they are in my hand. So what should...

Built in? Is it the tiny pin-head size chips or resistors or whatever?

Yes, although I believe it was 'cleared' away from the immediate vicinity of the lights. Nevertheless, the ceiling fittings are probably within an enclosed space. Although I am guilty of buying non-brand specific bulbs! Not the cheapest, but not the most expensive either. 500 lumen, 6w, COB

What ho all self isolators, Having some problems with my GU10 kitchen LED downlights. When originally fitted, they were 240v halogen and a few years ago, the GU10's replaced with LED bulbs. But to date, none fulfil the 30k hours specification. And of course, it is almost impossible to get a...

Another great idea. When covid-19 has died down and I can get a bunch of bits and pieces from Screwfix or wherever, I will have a look. What does not work can then be returned. My only thought about the coupler, I assume that the element will fit though? Thanks

You may be correct, but.... If you look a the photo of the existing rail, there is a short, screw-in tail coming out of the rail that fits the valve. Looking at the example image of the element. if the element is screwed directly into the bottom of the rail, I don't think the centre for the...

Madrab, Thanks you; that looks a real possibility. Imagine I will have to reposition the towel rail slight higher up the wall, but that is the least of the issues. Just a bit of hole filing and redecorating.
