Good post secure mate, cheers. Ill try keep it simple, i understand most of the terminology and how i'll set the zones up, im sure it'l just be the odd programming bit that see's me diving for the (considerable) manual.

Thanks handymanjo Am looking forward to having a go at it, the connecting up looks easy, its the programming that looks very indepth but ive printed the manual off instead of the CD version so ill just be methodical and go step by step. Hopefully all go smoothly. Thanks again

Ahhh right, just got to that bit in the manual. Now you pointed that out i can see the function of selecting the different resistor values now and how it could come in handy.

Cheers mate. Ive been reading the engineers manual to get my head around the programming side of it as ive previously only done a few Accenta G4 panels and those are really easy. The plan is basically for the upstairs keypad to be on the landing for night use, so i can quickly part set the...

cheers

Hi, i have purchased a Premier elite 24 panel (as recommended on here) and will be installing it next weekend in my new house. One question i have is regarding the firmware revisions.....i want to make sure its all compatible. The panel is version 3.02 which i understand is the latest? I have...

If you can live with the JB being in sight then its the way to go.

Very strange occurence, like Adam says, probably just co-incidence. Funny related story though.....I know of a guy who thought it was a good idea to move the wooden board containing his CU, meter, service head and mains fuse etc...........board unscrewed and lots of tugging and pulling...

45A JB more than adequate. If you wanted to get rid of an unsightly JB......could cable be joined under the floorboards above the litchen in a maintenance free JB and dropped down to the switch? What you propose is fine however. Just remember the importance of cable zones and how accessories...

Thanks sparkymarka So basically its a case of removing the panel lid and disconnecting the battery and the same with the bellbox and that should get me working in silence? Going to go with texecom panel..........what do you recommend, the veritas elite with the lcd keypad or is the Premier 24...

Moving into a new property shortly which has a veritas 8 panel (fitted 2005). I will be removing this panel in order to fit my own alarm so i can have control over the system, engineer codes etc. I noticed that the power LED on the main panel was flashing green when i last looked around, from...

From your description which is pretty difficult to understand (no offence intended), you are almost certainly due a new Consumer unit. It sounds like you may have an existing cooker circuit although its hard to tell from your description and whether its upto standard is another question...

1, Little bit odd but sounds do-able, in affect your concealing the trunking within the box compartment, right? Is this circuit RCD protected? Be careful not to fall fowl of the concealed cable requirments if its not. 2, Best practice dictates it ought to be but im guessing your NOT using twin...

If damage to cable has occured, it likely may be at a point close to terminations, i.e at the switch or inside the shower casing........happens often as people sometimes nick the cores while stripping back the sheath etc. Can you do an insulation resistance test on the cabling to see if there...

Cheers for replies lads Seems texecom is the favoured gear. You reckon the 24 premier elite is worth the extra investment over say the veritas excel?? Thought the higher end stuff was bit ott for a donestic setup?? Regards

Hi all Just after a few thoughts and recommendations for an alarm for a house i will soon complete the purchase off. Im a spark by trade but not domestic so alarms aren't my usual thing hence seeking the opinions of you lads who know your stuff. Ive fitted a couple of Accenta G4 mini's before...

Just returning to finish the post off so maybe it will help someone in future. One of the cells on the battery was dead which was causing the problems. Had a new battery fitted and all is well. Thanks for the inputs.

thanks John Im due the first major service this week so i will be booking it in and getting the problem fixed under warranty. I will let people know the outcome although if anyone has any input before then, please feel free to add to the post. Regards

oh and its a petrol engine

Well its always fired up straight away as soon as you turn the key so something has definetly changed in the last week. A few interesting clues i have also noticed.............the tachometer also 'plays up' in that when the car eventually fires up, the needle sticks to zero revs and just...
