Sorry, that would have been helpful to begin with!

Hi Hopefully I have put this in the right place. I have a retaining wall down the side of my property about 6ft high. The wall was rendered this summer as it was bare before and looked terrible. After it had all dried etc, we painted it white with Sandtex. The retaining wall had a closeboard...

Same as above, Hikvision for the win. There really for our own piece of mind. I have had CCTV at all previous places, so would be weird not to have it. So many people get CCTV after an incident!

I would guess that is 80 down MAX, so 78 is fine. Can you do any tests locally rather than going out to the internet to test the cat5 cables? Wi-Fi could be due to location in the house - walls and other equipment etc. Could be over utilised on the channel you are using. Can you see what else is...

Scratch that, I must have typed it wrong the first time, there are loads of hits on Google for that.

The part number they gave me is HAC1000-3.

Thanks. I spoke to Texecom and they said I need to replace the PSU. I can't seem to find anywhere that sells them with the part number they gave me. It makes sense now as the clock started to go way out of sync a couple of months ago! Anyone know where to buy these from?

I have one of the above panels that has been running for about 3 years. I came home the other day to see an error on the RKP 'Mains power off'. Checked and everything was okay, so cleared the error. It was only a few hours before it popped up the error again. Tested the mains, all okay...

Spot on! Thank you so much. (y)

Oh. Re-reading your reply, it seems that for EOL from a keypad zone I need to wire in 1st alarm terminal and last tamper terminal? Unlike the panel where each sensor goes back to both zone terminals and then the single tamper is bridged.

Thank you. I will try this. As I have not wired to RKP before but more so that I have made a join in control panel, I just wanted to test cables etc. The rest of my system is EOL so the shed door contact will also be EOL when finished, which I can wire into zone and put link back in tamper, then...

Oh I see. So I need to change zone 9 from normally closed to double pole? If that is the case, would removing the tamper short and setting it to normally closed work? I have not tested with a meter.

Also, I am thinking it must be wired into the correct zone and RPK as the resistance changes when I break the circuit? See attached too.

That is correct. I double checked tonight, they either say Zone 1 and Zone 2 or Z 1 and Z 2. No expander. All 8 zones are taken on control panel so I need to use a port on one of the RPKs.

Hi I have a new shed in which I want to install a door magnet. I have run 8 core cable underground from the shed back to the control panel. From there, I have joined two wires (orange and orange/white) to two spare cables going to RKP 2 (blue and yellow). In RKP 2 I have connected blue and...

As said above, as you have 3 keypads, you get 2 extra zones on each one, so could save on not having the expander.

I have some spare door magnets too. The shed is a heavy duty one with thick T&G on the outside, quite a thick frame, then fully insulated and T&G internally too, so quite solid. It is 12x8 foot. It gets sunlight in the side windows but if I were to install a PIR, it would be in the corner of...

Thanks, they both make sense! Do you just use PIRs in your three sheds? I have one spare dual tech Texecom which I was hoping to use, should this be okay?

Hi I have just built a new shed and wish to add it to my Elite 24 system. I have all 8 zones used so I will have to add to one of the free zones on one of the keypads. I assume the best sensor would be to have door contacts as a PIR will surely just get false alarms with spiders etc? Also, I...

So you turned off ATS fault? Mine has not produced an error for a few weeks now and I could only get it to go that long by turning off the ARC for the Texecom servers, as advised by SecureIAm. It seems to be nothing to do with my network or connection out but to do with the Texecom servers.
