Sorry should have also added that the current thermostat is a very basic BossTherm one which doesn't even have numbers on it just a graduated dial, would it help if I swapped this out to something else ?

My house has a large garage that was used as an office by the previous owners and therefore has central heating run to it. It has it's own thermostat but even when I turn this right down the rads still heat up which must be costing me a bomb. Unfortunately there is only one programmer for the...

Hi thanks for the replies. As it turned out my local Screwfix didn't have any 16A type C's so I've temporarily fitted a 32A and it works fine. I'll get a 16A when they have them back in stock and see how I get on with that. For clarification I did mean 600mm cable run, the garage has it's own...

Hi all I've put in a new radial circuit for my 3hp compressor but every time I fire it up the MCB trips immediately. I've tried with a 16A and 20A MCB but get the same result. The compressor was working fine at my old house so I'm assuming it's down to the install and not the compressor...

Thanks guys, the system did have Redcare so that's probably what this extra power supply is for. Think I'll just leave it alone for now :) Cheers

I'm trying to get to grips with the Scantronic 9853 system that is in our new home. Managed to do a stage 1 reset and reprogram user codes etc but there is another panel box on the wall and I'm not sure what it is for. Is anyone able to identify it from the pics attached? Cheers

Perfect, just the info I was after guys Thanks

Sorry should have also asked how I switch off the anti tamper temporarily so I can check the battery etc in future - can't seem to find any reference to it in the manual.

We've recently bought a house that has a Scantronic 9853 panel. I want to do a first stage reset so I can change access codes etc to something of my own choosing and reading through the programmers manual this seems to be a fairly straightforward process. However just to make sure I'm fully...

Hi all I need to cut some conti board to fill in the gaps in our new wardrobes install. Will be using a circular saw for the long cuts and apparently the higher the tooth count on the blade the better the finish. However as this is a one off I don't want to spend a fortune on a blade that...

We've just moved into a new property and it has come with a lean-to style wooden greenhouse. There doesn't appear to be any major rot but the brown finish has faded away in places and the wood has some cracking etc. To freshen it up I was planning on removing all the glass/perspex giving the...

Thanks EightyTwo, managed to find a copy of the installer manual and the reset procedure looks pretty straight forward so hopefully should be good to go once we move in. Cheers

We're (hopefully !) going to be moving soon and the new house has a Scantronic 9853 alarm system that is maintained and monitored by a local company. I'm not interested in continuing the maintenance or monitoring so will be cancelling the agreement but obviously I would still like to be able to...

We're currently in the process of moving home and the Homebuyers survey on our new property has thrown up a couple of issues, one of which was signs of posibly active woodworm in the original roof timbers. We'll be getting a professional company to quote for treatment but what should I expect...

Thanks for the explanation EightyTwo, just for completeness when you say you like an LCD display is that a thumbs up for the Veritas Excel ?

Thanks for the replys, couple more questions though 1. Why does the bell need 8 core, do you double up some of the wires ? 2. E999 are you recommending the veritas or G2 panel :) Cheers

We'll be moving home soon and one of the first jobs I'll be doing is installing a security system (intruder, smoke detectors and communicator) When I did this in our current property 10 years ago the recommendation was to go with a Texecom Veritas R8, which was pretty simple to fit and has been...
