    G2 Exit Time & Door Contact

    It sounds like your door contact isn't working. It should bypass the programmed exit time if the door is programmed as final. The system won't set if the exit time is 00 if the system doesn't see the final zones close. Can you want test the front door contact to confirm its working?

    Honeywell Galaxy 2-12 Battery Replacement

    You may find that the system will require an engineer reset once you tamper the lid to replace the battery. You maybe left with an settable system if your code doesn't reset it

    LED Bathroom lighting idea

    Hi all Was just reading an earlier post about the kitchen lighting and its got me thinking. I currently have a fan with a built in light in my bathroom.

    Honeywell HS331XX Wireless Alarm set up

    Honeywell do have a good reputation. I assumed this range of alarm was the "Response Alarm" rebranded as they are now owned by honeywell. The respones alarm was a pile of junk, i fitted one for a friend and it got binned in the end. Speak with tech support

    Galant 6160EX - tamper.....

    Is it an ADT install. I know they like to lock down their panels. Anyway get an engineer manual and follow the process for defaulting the codes. You should be able to reset the system using the default engineer code

    Red Light showing on Window Tamper Unit

    Tamper boxes? Could you mean a vibration/ window contact. Its sounds as though you've either damaged the cable or not refitted the device to the new window correctly

    Consumer unit isolation switch

    Am i correct in saying the energy supplier would normally fit the isolators that sit between the CU and the meter. I'm asking as i just received a letter from my supplier informing me that they are going to install a new smart meter. I'm guessing they won't put an isolator in as part of the...

    Accenta G3 Alarm - How to switch OFF?

    Alternatively fit a new 2.1Ah battery in the control panel, that way if you have a power cut the system will run on battery back, your better off having a working intruder system in this day and age

    Honeywell Optima Compact & Advent GSM Dialler

    You could fit the GSM dialler in a seperate enclosure adjacent to or below it. I take it your panel in the entry route as the button are on boards, you may not want the seperate enclosure if that the case. These panels are not end of line. Is there a reason why the installer didn't bother...
