    Lightsys & ELMDENE INT500

    Thanks for the reply. It was installed by a local engineer, but he did admit a few times he was not used to the system. Spent a lot of time on the phone during its install. I have ordered a replacement sounder, as assume this one might now be damaged. In the manual it says “Ls” can be set to...

    SMS from Risco Lightsys Alarm

    Ok well, a bit more on this.. I do get the SMS from the alarm, but seem need to be active for a while before it sends the message. This makes sense, it would be annoying for a message to be sent if your just a bit slow at entering the code.. Does anyone know how long it needs to be active for...

    Underfloor heating mat and bathroom isolation

    Thanks for the reply... Your correct there is no RCD in the CU.. Good point about the 5amp fuse.. The change to the CU is just belt and braces, prevents someone adding more load later. I know it notifiable, but lots must be installed without being checked.:)

    Lightsys connections to Novagard 6

    Hi all, After some help with the connections from a lightsys to a Novaguad bell.. I assume that the lightsys is not a NovActive compatible system? And that I will need to make the connections via standard wiring.. I set the DIP switches to set the box up as a SCB. I made the connections as...
