That's a good point about putting the siren near an upstairs window. When I put an additional siren at the back of the house I screwed it onto a rectangular piece of wood. I then screwed the piece of wood it was mounted on to the wall from inside the house - from an upstairs window, so that when...

No-one has replied so as I've replaced the batteries, I'll explain here how I did it. You can look at this diagram http://www.xcelplus.co.uk/ebay/Instructions/Installation%20instructions_HSA6000.pdf for guidance. However, I found that when I opened the back of my 6400 control panel by...

The batteries in the control panel need to be replaced. How is this done? There are four screws on the back of the panel-so do I undo these and is the battery easily accessible with the back plate off? I can't find any instructions on how to do this. I have ordered the batteries. Thanks

It's totally finished. A piece of trim was covering the gap.

Double glazing fitted but I've found a gap of about one inch at the top of the window filled in with foam.

Yes, a plumber dismantled it and checked it . I didn't think about the idea of changing the piping at the time.

The flow to the cistern is slow but the flow to the nearby cold tap is good. I have been advised that the slow flow to the cistern could be due to a number of reasons, including a partly blocked pipe, which is located behind the wall. Checking this would involve breaking tiles and retiling so...

Is it safe for a non-electrician to replace a defective videx 524 entry phone with a videx 3102? Are any live electrical wires involved? Thanks Alan

I'm thinking about what to do about the rendering, now I'm going to have the house redecorated. The rendering,/pebbledashing which covers most of the flank wall and the top half of the front and part of the back, has a lot of stones missing but most of it is hard and not flaking, except for...

I can't see where the water can be getting in from the outside now the drain is repaired, so I have tried, possibly in an amateurish way, removing a section of the wet plaster at the bottom of the wall and replastering it. The replastered bit is about five days old now and a damp meter reading...

About a year ago I noticed the hall wall was a bit damp-flank wall with outside rainwater drain opposite damp. I took up a floorboard and found it was wet on the ground near the wall and eventually found that the cement surround of the drain was cracked and leaking water downwards. I fixed that...

thanks for the info, if the temperature plunges below minus 10 I'll disconect the shed contact.

I've fitted a door contact on the inside of the shed door in the garden, about 12 meters from the control panel. It's working fine, but I'm wondering about how it will perform in very cold sub zero temperatures. Is it recommended to use a door contact in an outdoor shed?

Too late to save me a lot of aggravation, but this has been discussed on this forum, and the solution is what the Yale helpline gave me , not what is shown in the the manual. Read the last post on this page to see the solution. It's not hit or miss, but the correct method is not in the...

Believe it or not, I did read the page you kindly quoted, but it is does not give accurate information for learning in a siren for an established system. I had to have all of the switches on the left in the off position all the time, not just to clear the memory. But don't take my word for it...

but the intructions in the manual are not relevant when adding an additional siren to a working system. I phoned the Yale helpline. They took me through the learning in of the additional siren. The first thing they told me was that all of the switches on the left have to be in the OFF...
