Ah them PIRS Press 21, display zones. Press (A) till kitchen comes up, Closed should be shown...... Pressing # will toggle between signal strength and zone status If its in tamper I bet good money on the little plastic pin is missing, this will stop the sensor working. If you need to...

They know best and 'saved a few quid' after all ;)

Correct you aint no expert. I await another power cut, hopefully at 2am.

LOL, but now the bell tampers arent monitored!! Why are they selling thier customers short? DIY fitters arent their customers, its Alarm co's, so that's why 'support' isnt easily available We still fit the odd one if an original Accenta has been damaged or what not and they are fine...

You had rebooted it according to your log, thats what on site restart means?

Not activating? You mean lighting up on pick up? If so you've blown the aux fuse most probably What alarm is it? *edit :lol:

Have you any spare zones before you start. Veritas have 8 zones usually, how many sensors do you have?

Exactly, we could have this reprogrammed and tested within the hour (if the panel isnt goosed). Is it worth all this mither really>? Also i suggest you remove that defaulting info from the thread please.

Does it have an on-board keypad, or a small remote? If it has a small remote, it would be better as mentioned to go with a local NSI/SSAIB company. Get it upgraded, its a mid 80's system, bet you dont have a mid 80's TV at home? Once you have a new system they can be remote reset if need...

If its a newer 690 (not old grey ES) To reset eng, yes ;-))

If its iD, the biscuits need learning back in if the panels been defaulted., its in the manual. However judging by the log it hasn't been? Irrc on site restart is just a power up? It been a while since i've done anything other that additions or RI on a 690 mind you!

Because ignoring the customer is good practice..... As said a good quality dual tec will suffice and cover the whole area.

No, not phone wire, alarm cable. Its different. Standard PIR if its to be fitted in a normal room, ie not Conservatory, or Kitchen with an AGA fitted for instance. Do you have any spare circuits? strictly speaking it should be one device per zone (doors can be grouped together, and sensors...

You are best approaching an approved co, and training as an apprentice. No point doing nvq's first, we had one, and he hadn't a clue in the real world. Getting a cable from a to b isn't as straight forward as it sounds ;)

If a new bell doesnt thats the next step really. Although they should have metered out all the cores to check for high resistance on the cabling.

I've aways prefered PTS/lock set tbh. The systems we had, where we could......Chubb lock as final, door as night with access, along with sensor in foyer/hall, done. Then they changed, too many grey areas with interpretation of regs.. Its not affected me directly yet on the tools.... Not sure...

Wish they'd all follow that We had Texe telling one of our contracted customers to power cycle system to clear a CIE fault. (which he did) yeah, but it was monitored. ;) Boiled my **** that.

Never worked on a 2200 Our staple panels were 690 for the smaller simple stuff, 900's for use of wards. Super stable imo Also got a few 2500's on schools ~150 zones, mixture of HW/iD multiple wards, oh joys lol! :)

For this i'd also suggest a premier or Menvier panel. Galaxy can do it no bother, but when proxes get involved they do become fussy. I can just imagine granny toggling groups off and on. Lots more simpler on a Menvier for instance. ;)

I still reckon there is a panic active or a tamper or something. If it gives a low error tone when trying to set, there IS a fault. Bet if i turned up, i could tell you in 20 seconds. Programme these in my sleep, we have 100's out there. Stop being tight, for the sake of a call out it'll be...
