    Pyronix enforcer changing the sim due to intermittent line fault without the engineers code

    Pyronix Castle Euro 46 - "Active Faults"

    Is there a chance you have deleted the zone text? This would explain the absent text. There was an issue years ago where these panels would say “active faults” but give no discription. Only way to clear was to power the panel down then up again.

    removing wired alarm system

    Don’t go fitting a Yale, it’s cheap for a reason. As others have said, get a new professional hybrid system, use all the cables you can, fit new hardwired PIRs, Keypad & Siren. Then add wireless PIRs for the rooms you are changing. The Texecom system as previously recommended has a free app...

    Veritas PIR Fault

    Ok so there’s a break in the actual circuit wires for the Hall PIR, I doubt the sensor is faulty. You can try swapping the Circuit boards from another sensor to prove this, unless you have a multimeter in which case you can test the relay in the PIR to prove it that way. When you disconnected...

    Veritas PIR Fault

    Does the PIR itself light up when you move in front of it? If not you may have the power wires back to front. If it does light up then the alarm circuit is open, make sure the all wires are in place correctly.

    Replace PIR on Scantronic 9800 alarm system

    Just be careful not to short the wires, the power output is transistorised instead of a fuse so it should self reset, but being an old panel it could blow beyond repair. Tamper pair is fine, although if shorted and unshorted it will trigger tamper again. Alarm pair is ok to short whist...

    Replace PIR on Scantronic 9800 alarm system

    Problem is that if you cause a Tamper, which you will when your remove PIR lid, the system (being ADT) may be set up for enginner Reset following tampers - therefore locking the system out until you get a reset code. As it’s out of contact that’ll be impossible. You may find it’s set up for user...

    self install or not

    Banham’s are very good, great service engineers too! Insist on cables! Do not go wireless!! (Your be paying between £5-£10 per battery, per detector, per year on top of standard maintence costs and monitoring if required) Why nest? An intruder alarm smoke detector will do everything and more...

    Yep.... they only light up in engineer mode.

    Eaton SecureConnect or Texecom Connect Apps

    Texecom Connect has been working perfectly for me, app is a bit clunky but it works and is stable. Recipes work well, with plug sockets coming on when system unsets, auto part sets and notifications reliable too. Also it’s worth baring in mind that this is a free service, unlike other brands who...

    Bifold doors- contacts location

    And how does a contact trigger the alarm when the glass is smashed as a means of entry? One Elmdene SC570 to the opening leaf maybe, but I would suggest a Honeywell Viper or Texecom Impaq vibration sensor/s fitted top middle of doors.

    Daisy chain Texacom PIR sensors

    You need to use a spare pair in the existing detector to carry the circuit back to the panel, panel has 8 zones so if full keypad has a home for two more which can be carried back via spare cores if available. If not your need an expander to bump the system up by 8 more zones. System can take up...

    How to reset pyronix enforcer tamper alarm

    It should reset just by entering code & pressing yes or no as long as the switch is down & not set up as engineer reset. Try powering panel down & up again. If not as previously mentioned go into engineer mode then press A to escape. If not Panel is buggered, not surprising as it’s an over rated...

    Pyronix enforcer menu key tone

    It’s a glitch on those panels, earlier software! Once you come out of the keypad menu, the system briefly looses coms with the keypad and shows an RS485 error. Just clear it by resetting alarm in the usual way.
