Yeah there not going to say it's tosh :D Never fitted a suppressor myself but worth a try IMO.

Well maybe but it seems Alarm Installers still don't want to talk about it.

Good question The Baker :)

I guess the pro installers on here don't want to talk about this subject.

battery load when mains is off.

Good advice. Another question, should the milliamp reading be only taken when the battery is fully charged as the charging of the battery would affect the reading?

I'm only trying to find out what should happen when my alarm system is serviced. Its better to be in the know imo.

Interesting. Are these tests recommend for every maintenance visit?

Thank you mdf290, you have been most helpful. I've only asked these questions so i can understand how my alarm system works without having to have my alarm company explain. I'd rather already know. :wink: * mdf290 have the rules changed since 2010?

You do not seem very helpful, more interested in annoying people. I'm not asking for the trades secrets so do not see why you are so negative.

Thanks for the replies :) a good debate. Couple more questions please: Am i right in saying that since 2006 if you have more than two false alarms you will lose your police response. Pre-2006 you were allowed three false alarms. This correct? If response is lost would it be regained...

Am i right in saying that there are still three levels of police response to alarm systems connected to a monitoring centre? Or has it been reduced to two?

Most intruder alarm guides suggest using a 3 amp fuse for the fcu. If using 1.5mm flex will a 13 amp fuse be ok? Why do they always suggest 3 amp?

But not round? Cant believe how difficult this is proving to find something like a staple.

I have bought a Stanley CT10 staple gun thinking that it would be ideal for for bt and alarm cables. I cant seem to find any white staples for it though. What size would you normally use for 8 core alarm cable? Also i have a horrible feeling that i have bought the wrong size staple gun as...

How do you work out the calculations for a 7.0 amp standby battery to last 12hrs please? I think i am right in saying that 15mins alarm time should be included in the calculation. standby current 290 milliamps alarm current 520 milliamps is it 290 x 11.75 = 3407.5 520 x 0.25 = 130...

Sorry i meant PD6662:2010/BS8243 I think i have found the answer though, Users cannot reset systems after a confirmed alarm as they could under the 2004 regs.

Under the new intruder alarm regs is the following statement true? "Users cannot restore after a confirmed alarm" Does this mean even a coded reset cannot be performed and that to reset the system after a confirmed alarm would always require an engineer?

Answer the question you minger. Do you spend ten or more hours on here a day? ffs :lol:

aint that the truth :roll: What if the layout was: fcu then a single socket. maximum load = 26Amps. The only problem i can see is if the circuit was added to later. Would this layout be acceptable?
