Thanks for all of your help guys, especially Sparymarka. I wired it up as you suggested, but there is a dedicated set of terminals for Tamper, so I put the two blue wires off the contacts in those, and connected the two yellow ones together, and it seems to be working fine. All programmed...

Right, I've got it on the wall, and got power into it, now need to connect the sounder and contacts. Here's where the wires from the sounder went on my old alarm: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/403006/Old%20Alarm.JPG and the yellow and blue wires...

It's arrived. I have taken the old one off the wall and taken the following photos before disconnecting everything: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/403006/2014-01-02%2018.56.22.jpg https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/403006/2014-01-02%2018.56.44.jpg You'll notice on the second one...

Just ordered a Texas Veritas 8, going to install it over the weekend. Thanks for all of your advice guys, BS...

Hi Sparky, The transformer output is 17v, and the fuse you can't quite see under the ribbon cable is fine. Time to bin it then. Cheers, BS...

Just been looking at our existing alarm box, and it's an AI Omnicron 7000. It hasn't worked for a couple of years, but worked fine before that. I've checked that it's getting a 240v feed, which it is, and the fuse to the right of the empty fuse holder is fine too. But the whole thing seems dead...

Superb, thanks for the advice. Have a great new years everyone... BS...

Thanks Sally, and that's a great idea. I wonder if that's an actual feature that the unit needs to have, or if it's just another type of 'activator', if you see what I mean? Cheers, BS...

I've been looking at this, but it looks like it's a bit overkill for just 2 contacts. http://www.cts-direct.net/texecom-veritas-8-intruder-alarm-cfa-0001-texecom&currency=GBP?gclid=CPr-yrKK2rsCFQPmwgodcWYAnQ Cheers, BS...

Hello all, Hope you all had a spiffing Christmas, and are looking forward to celebrating the new year. We have an old Omnicron alarm system, that only has a contact on the front and back door, no PIRs or any other fancy stuff. The control box hasn't worked for ages, so we haven't used it...

Well it's fitted, and working a treat. It's only until we get back from our honeymoon, then we will get a brand new combi installed. BS...

Well, managed to get a mate of a mate to take a look at it for me, and it's the fan motor. Got quoted £145 ex VAT, and that's with his 25% discount! Found a refurbed one on eBay for £50, which is being FedExed out today. I managed to get the old one running again, just, with a whole load of...

We have an SD620F, which for a while has been making a bang (a much louder than normal ignition) as the hot tap is turned on and something (not sure if it is the fan or pump that can be heard) seemed to be excessively noisy. Now, the boiler is not working at all. There is no hot water/central...
