surely the sounder should be telling the panel that tamper is open? When it's dry I think I'll need to get up a ladder and take a look i guess

Hi folks I've got a texecom premier elite 24 with a pair of pyronix deltabell plus sounders. Today one of them (the rear which has longest cable run from panel) started to go off, no sound from the front one, or any indication on the alarm panel of tamper, or any fault. I expect this is...

Hi folks I've recently had my bathroom redone, and as part of that they replaced a cast iron soil stack with grey plastic. Since that's been done, the noise after flushing is pretty horrible, my guess is it's due to the pair of 90 degree bends at the bottom of the soil stack. Can this noise be...

yeah, it's all inside, vents out of the roof above the bathroom. Given we're redoing the bathroom later in the year, would it be best to replace the stack with plastic then, all the way up, and fit the downstairs loo after that's been done? Or would fitting the loo now, and using a saniflo be a...

Do you have a suggestion of a better way to do it? Should I replace the cast iron entirely, or at least the section that's visible - directly above is the bathroom, which is getting replaced later in the year, so the upper section could get replaced then?

Hi folks I'm hoping to fit a new toilet into a cupboard downstairs in my house, almost directly below my existing bathroom. I've spoken with my local council and have confirmation I don't need a building warrant or planning permission (I'm in Scotland) so I have started trying to workk out if...

thanks I've set the delay to 10 minutes now, the signal strength is -77 at the moment. I've got the aerial mounted horizontally under the upstairs floor above the front door, which i know isn't ideal but there wasn't space to get it vertical. I'll leave it like that for a bit, if i keep...

hi, hoping someone can shed some light on what's going on with my alarm system on com1 i have the comIP module connected, com2 i have the comGSM connected, i've got the gsm module sending texts when the system is armed, disarmed etc and they're received okay usually, sometimes a bit of a delay...

got it working, thanks for the tips i tried moving the antenna, it was always registering no signal, no matter where i put it. then out of frustration, after several hours, i moved the GSM module to com 2, worked almost instantly. no complaints from the board. i have no idea why, but if it...

Hi folks I think I'v got my texecom premier elite 24 set up properly now, a couple of niggles with the door sensors randomly showing tamper, which i think is the magnet being a little close, or the door moving in sunlight, but not 100% certain. I've managed to get the fobs added to the users...

I have a current cost envi monitor, seems to be pretty accurate, certainly within a couple of quid of the bill when i've checked, but we mostly use it to see if we've remembered to switch things off, to get an idea of how much we're wasting with the little one leaving ALL the lights in the house...

thanks, nice messy job for a Sunday afternoon ;)

thanks, tha'ts exactly what it is. i guess i need to sort the insulation behind these boxes now :/

Hi I'm in the process of sorting out a few bits in the house, which includes replacing the manky hall carpet with some vinyl downstairs to keep things a bit easier to clean (two hyper greyhounds and a 10 year old) and discovered the floor under the old carpet has been tiled at some point, i...

while moving a couple of sockets today i found a wall i expected to be plasterboard, wasn't. instead a skim of plaster, over what looks to me like cement mixed with straw or hay, with a wooden frame behind it. the house was build in 1960, ex council and this is on an upstairs "extra room"...

i believe the b-tag option disabled ability to disarm with code, requires a tag. not sure about the other one.

excellent, thanks. saves me best part of 100 quid and a bit of wall space in the cupboard the alarm will live :)

hi folks, not quite got to the point of installing my alarm yet, but I did have floors up and I've run cable to where it all needs to go, making sure to keep as clear of mains cables as possible. a couple of short runs an inch or so from mains were unavoidable, but only for a foot or so...

excellent, cheers.

okay, my bits have arrived so i'll get them fitted this weekend i think, i havent bought any comms kit YET. is it possible to connect a com2400 or 300 to the digimodem port, a com-gsm to the com1 port and a com-ip to the com2 port? ideally i would like to be able to have the alarm...
