Hi, just wondering if anybody could recommend a website/online shop from which I could order a pre-made UPVC lean-to (~ 3 x 4 m) which I could then self-install. I'm not sure of the 'type' of conservatory/lean-to just yet, but was just wondering if anybody could suggest any good websites. Thanks.

I know that this is a very old post, but I was just wondering if either of these methods (venting and/or insulating) managed to stop the condensation/mould?! Thanks.

I’m thinking of converting a thin strip of my garden which runs between the side of my house and the external boundary wall (which I own) into a covered brick ‘side extension’. The strip is currently a narrow, brick pathway 4 metres long and 0.9 metres wide and runs from the front of my...

Hi all, If possible, I’d like to check the wiring of my bell box (and possibly also alter its position against my external wall) without it sounding. It’s a Pyronik Belle bell box – I don’t think it has an engineer’s hold off mode. I have a Veritas Excel alram panel for which I know the...

You're absolutely correct. IF they're all possible then they all need to be investigated. However, I thought that some could potentially be ruled out by definition i.e. 'it can't be the tamper switch as otherwise the tamper status light would illuminate'. 'It can't be a certain wire as otherwise...

Thanks alumni. I was just wondering if people had any previous experience of such issues and if so, which of the suggested possibilities may be the most probable.

Hi all, A few months ago I installed a Texecom Veritas Excel control panel/keypad and Pyronik Belle bell box. All was well until recently when my bell box started sporadically sounding for no apparent reason in bursts of 5 or so seconds. For example yesterday evening at ~7.30 it sounded for a...

Hi all, I've just installed a Veritas Excel alarm and Pyronik Belle Box (I used exisiting wiring and PIRs). Everything went ok. However, when I try the bell test there's no sound. But when I try the strobe test that works. I thought it was maybe the old wires, so I connected brand...

Hi Rob, I'm in the processing of changing my DA Abacus 8 alarm with a Veritas R8. I've noticed from other posts that you've got PDF copies of installation manuals for this system and even though I've just ordered it today from 'Alert Electrical' I'd really appreciate if you could email me a PDF...

I'm trying to replace my old bell box with a new Pyronik Belle. Powered down the alarm. Opened up the control panel. Disconnected the control panel battery. Went up the ladder took off the old bell box cover (still not sure of the old box's name/manufacturer). Made a note of the...

Thaks Alarm, but 'how'...i.e. physically, how do you 'link' it in?

Dear all, I’ll be attempting to change my existing bell box (sorry, I don’t know the model and/or manufacturer) with a newly purchased ‘Pyronik belle’ bell box. Maybe things will be a lot clearer to me once I dismantle the current box and have a look at how it’s wired in, however, I won’t...

(not a very good one! Double act that is!...only joking, thanks a lot)

Thanks Alarm and Europlex!

Oh blo*dy hell, I should have waited and bought a complete system rather than just the sounder, which I've now already purchased! Seeing as though I now don't need a complete system and already have the PIRs, sounder and cables in place, what do you think of ( see link) with regards to...

Hi Europlex, thanks for your comments. On a seperate but related note, can I still change the bell box without the engineer's code? i.e. by powering down the wholes system? If so, I'll do that first, as the box doesn't work. Then, once thats done, I'll seriously think about replacing...

Hi Alarm thanks for your time and comments. Thing is, you really need to explain things to me. What type of cable do I need to piggy back one PIR to the next? Do I literally open up the existing PIR and then run the aforementioned cable to the next one? What sort of PIR do I need...
