BAFE is the approval body for the fire protection industry, with the FIA units probably the best way to gain recognised training in the field. If you're not a member of the FIA, you're looking at over £1K to complete all of the units. In terms of addressable fire systems, manufacturers run their...

Hi all, We purchased a new build house recently, and I have noticed that the supply from the meter runs in 25mm meter tails from adjacent the front door, into the ceiling void and then to the CU which is under the stairs (probably about 8m or so in terms of cable length, if they take the most...

Are you holding the fob to the keypad for longer than 5 seconds when setting the system? Keep it there until you get the setting tone.

Not surprised then, Enforcer PIRs with the pet lense fitted would struggle to pick up an elephant walking past them. Always remove the filter, if they have pets go for perimeter detection (can't say I can recommend the Pyronix shock sensors for this, either)

A DT is probably as likely to trigger as a PIR is with curtains blowing around, the microwave part of the sensor is much more sensitive to physical movement than the PIR and would probably be in constant alarm with curtains moving. Indeed, I've seen alarms set off due to curtains moving before...

No worries. Try the following: Panel - Deltabell Bell + to 12v (red wire) SCB 0 to 0v (green wire) Bell - to Bell (black wire) Strobe - to Stb (not currently connected, but try the blue wire) SCB RT to T (white wire) On the Deltabell, link the other T terminal to 0v. Don't forget to enable...

The panel terminals aren't too clear from the photo of the control panel, however I'd strongly recommend you change the panel while you're at it. Those A1 panels were not fantastic when they were new, and I reckon it's getting on for 25 years old (battery looks to be a similar age, given the...

When you say "LED light" do you mean something like a 230v floodlight, or just a simple LED? Both are possible but require different means of connection.

I know you've done with this thread, but I think you're missing the point. Does the fact that it is the homeowner doing the removing mean that is now a completely safe practice and less dangerous than if it were the contractor removing the same material? Of course not. OP, I suggest you contact...

It is their advice where work is carried out on low risk ACMs (ie removal of asbestos cement, artex, short duration and managed work on AIB etc) On the HSE website, they class "removal or other work that may disturb pipe lagging" as notifiable work, so in this instance, the HSE guidance is to...

Get someone to stand at the keypad to silence the system when you take the lid off the bell. The actual bell box will continue to sound for as long as you have the cover off, so wear a pair of ear defenders while you move the jumper link over. Be careful around the strobe tube, if it's flashing...

Not trying to scare monger, but it's important to know what kind of asbestos you are dealing with. I see all too often on these forums advice along the lines of "wear a mask, bag it up and take it to the tip", which is often wholly inappropriate given the type of asbestos in question (and which...

If you don't have an external keypad, it sounds like you may have a dodgy panel. We've not had a brilliant track record in terms of reliability with Enforcer equipment, so it wouldn't surprise me. You could try a full factory 'clean start' (did you do this when you first installed the system?)...

Chances are, for £200, the PIRs won't be pet tolerant models. Cats can be a problem even with pet tolerant PIRs, the best solutions would be, in order (and in my opinion) 1, Perimeter detection (IE vibration detectors/contacts to ground floor windows and doors) 2, Keep the cat confined to a...

Are you sure it's just a 16 ohm speaker in a box? No circuit boards? I would expect at least a Mylar cone speaker with a separate SAB/driver board inside the bell box. Occasionally come across old bells with just a Lyntek horn sounder inside but have never seen one with just a speaker. Have you...

Do you own a multimeter? Disconnect the two white wires connected to MS1 and MS2 on the PCB and with the switch held in, you should have a very low resistance (less than 1 ohm) and a complete open circuit with the switch released. Operate the switch a few times and check that the resistance...

I drilled through from the conduit at a steep angle into the wall cavity, then from the camera position I drilled a 25mm hole to meet up with the first hole (roughly). A bit of scrap cable poked into the cavity and a bit of hooking about from the 25mm hole and there you go :) You'd need a decent...

On my own new build house, I took off the rainwater down pipes and ran black 20mm conduit behind. With the pipe back in place, it pretty much totally conceals the conduit. You can sort of see what I mean in the photo.

You shouldn't really secure any sort of alarm sensor with adhesive tape, even less so the Enforcer vibration detectors. They specifically require a screw fixing to hold the vibration sensor cradle rigidly to the sensor housing, otherwise it's simply left rattling away, ready to false alarm at...

Have you tried pressing the # key instead of 1 or 0?
