    New windows fitted and now alarm won't set.

    So if one cable between each sensor is damaged then this in turn will cause problems like the system not setting... But I do agree that we need more information to find the exact location of the fault

    New windows fitted and now alarm won't set.

    Though if there was a tamper fault then he would not even be able to set the system because it would go into tamper lockout. Are the lights on the contacts lighting up? and any PIR's on that zone?

    New windows fitted and now alarm won't set.

    Although it is not a good idea to bridge the tamper circuit unless absolutely necessary (such as if you get a tamper fault in the middle of the night) best thing is take a photo of the circuit board and wiring and let us have a look and check they are wired up correctly. :D

    Installing an Intruder Alarm

    Oh and you can pick a panel and keypad as a kit up for £40 and you can get pet immune sensors for about £7 and basic ones for £5 a good siren for about £20 and a battery for about £6 so really you can fit one for less than £250. Hope this helps, if you want a link to where you can pick them...

    Moving Panel - ADT Ademco Accord XPC

    If you are moving the panel then the incoming cable's from the zones, bellbox and keypad will obviously not fit where the current cables run although I maybe wrong you say you want to move the panel so then you are going to have to rerun the cables to the new place and or replace the whole...

    New windows fitted and now alarm won't set.

    Hold on there, before you start cutting cables and start further faults, when this replaced the windows they likely rewired the window contacts incorrectly or damaged part of the cable, could you take a photo of the contacts on the windows and if you could open it up and take a photo of the...

    Accenta 8 Mini alarm system - power failure & dead rkp

    I was called to an alarm a few weeks ago where the panel and battery had been in for about 13-14 years without 1 service or battery replacement. I recommended a major upgrade to a G4 with a new Battery, Panel and Keypad. The bell box was still the same one as it was 14 years ago and was probably...

    Accenta G3 tamper alarm

    The battery will not cause a tamper fault. The battery is there to prevent the system for going off when a power cut occurs. Was there a power cut when the alarm went off? Otherwise it might still be a problem? And also the panel power light is never that bright. You did right replacing the...

    Strange REASON8 problem

    As far as I am aware I have wired this correctly and checked it twice but I will check again but I do have a feeling that the - tamper return is broken because the panel does not go into tamper lockout when the cover is taken off. Thanks

    Strange REASON8 problem

    Even if there was a bell delay was set then when I go into the engineer menu and do a bell test this should override the bell delay shouldn't it. Because it still does not sound when I do an bell test.

    Strange REASON8 problem

    Yes but it is set to 20 mins and it is in the bell box. I think that the Cable running to the bell box has been damaged. Though the bell box works when I open the lit and the tamper and hold off lights are on. But nothing when in full alarm condition
