A quick search on google, pointed me to an installation manual for a Gardtec box. Which, I can definitely say, explains it in a lot more detail than the Texecom manual did. See below: http://www.challenger.co.uk/downloads/AP30EngInst.pdf

I certainly do Lectrician... My apologies for that typo... The box is a Texecom - Excel, with an additional RKP. Much cheaper than the Gardtec range. Hopefully that doesn't mean they are cr@p. Guys, I like the sound of the additional features the EOL method presents. Although, I'm...

Hi All, Well, I got a little side tracked on Saturday, and bought a complete new system. :lol: I have wired up the new panel and RKP's. Just need to swap over the BB now. That dreaded thing... :cry: I have a question though... Although the panel and PIR wiring was pretty much...

Guys, Quite a discussion in my absence... Well, taking all your comments into account, my plan of action is as follows: 1, Shut off power to alarm box and remove the battery. (That will be enough to get that old box ringing)... 2, Disconnect the wires from the terminals on the panel...

Thanks Breezer. I have mentioned it before in my other posts, that I aint no electrician. Therefore forgive me for asking, if I cut the wires from the battery, will there not be a risk of a small shock as I imagine there will be a least 12v coming from it??? Once the old box is down, is...

I see. But is there no way to con the system, so the bell does'nt start screaming in my face whilst up the ladder... :?

Guys, I have whipped the cover off and taken a pic of the panel. However, I'm not sure how to post it. Just to confirm, will the above fool the alarm into thinking the bell box is still attached??

Lectrician... I'll take a pic of the inside and post it for your examination. Standby...

Gardtec 500 Series.

So it's ear deffenders at the ready then... Will there be two obvious wires running to the battery in there?

Cheers Breezer... Is there anyway to prevent it from ringing in my face when I take the cover off. As i'm not a great lover of heights at the best of times... :cry:

Hi all, I'm planning to change the bell box on the front of my house, as the current one is old and knackered. One, it sounds like it's submerged in water and two, the strobe has gone. What's the best way to go about it. I assume that they are not system specific. I have purchased a...

Absolutely... I'd be gutted it the tiles got broke after all that hard work. What do you think, regarding skirting and architrave... Before or after the tiler???

Masona, The soil pipe exits the house throught a small cupboard, so no worries there. It's only the floor thats being tiled. But, due to the location of the loo, there will be a couple of meters of exposed pipe, also from the waste on the sink. Hence the reason for the boxing. I'm just...

Hi All, Just finished building my downstairs toilet. The next step is to get the Floor tiled, get the suite in and box in all the pipes. Only, i'm not sure exactly what order to do it all in, to get the best finish. My plan was to get the floor tiled first, that way the suite can just...

Just bang a few screws in it. Get a bigger size if they keep turning. Once you get some plaster round it, it won't move.

Hey guys... Just a quick update. I'm still running minus an RCD. I think the new sparky has run off with it. Nonetheless, at least he left me in a working condition. Anyway, I'll let you know the outcome, once we pop that RCD back in. Mark

Cheers guys. It's all bonded and skimmed and looks the dogs... Thanks again.

Yeah, It sure is. It's linked into the lighting curcuit with a bit of three core and earth via a tripple pole switch, and controlled by the light switch. Just checking before the plasterers move in...

I have done just that. And thrown in a bit of plasterboard for good measure. Cheers Masona.
