    120kg load shelf - awkward fixing situation

    thanks for those tables. that suggestion makes a lot of sense. I'll get 18mm ply and glue it doubled to make 36mm should be more than enough.

    120kg load shelf - awkward fixing situation

    need some materials advice for a specific problem. need to put a shelf across a 700mm span , 600mm deep alcove, to support 120kg uniform load. solid internal house breeze block wall on 2 sides and back sound trivial, ... but, there is an immovable object below the shelf that means I cannot...

    pyronix enforcer - panel unresponsive

    no the alarm didn't go off. I did manage to check that the bell supervision option was unset before shutting down. system has been completely stable since. 4 weeks ago the panel told me to change batteries in one PIR , and that is the first one I've changed - so I am not convinced that it was...

    convert external soil vent to AAV vs move it

    which is what I was thinking. what are the feasible options for an air duct across the loft out of the top of the stack? the only method I don't want to use is 110mm soil pipe .... could one of these https://www.screwfix.com/p/mcalpine-drain-connector-110mm/3502v in the top of the soil pipe...

    convert external soil vent to AAV vs move it

    There's no other vented stacks on the house. All neighbours have vents. That's why I was pondering option 2. I presume running the air duct through loft if doing option 2 in 40mm waste pipe would be fine . Thought about vented tile but same issue you can't cover it with a panel even though it's...

    convert external soil vent to AAV vs move it

    hi, I have a plastic soil pipe internal to the house exiting through the roof through flashing into an external soil vent projecting around a metre above the roof. The pipe is reachable in the loft, albeit a bit of a headroom squeeze as its near to the external wall. The external vent is right...

    pyronix enforcer - panel unresponsive

    did a full power down mains and batt. no issues with the psu inside case. left off for a good hour (not on purpose, just happened to be lunch time). after power up, system is working as expected again. I have no explanation for why it went loopy... is it feasible that this kind of system just...

    pyronix enforcer - panel unresponsive

    no heat on the panel case on the outside, no electrical smells, no obvious power related symptoms. not had the lid off yet mind. after about 2 hrs of seemingly stuck in an infinite loop panel seems to have reset itself. After which, I got about ten "wiring fault" alerts in the app, plus the...

    pyronix enforcer - panel unresponsive

    enforcer panel, self installed, worked perfectly 18th months. have 2x wireless entry arming station pads at different doors. entered through one of these today , attempted to use tag (failed) then code (also failed) then external and internal sounders went off with an alarm from the nearest PIR...

    keeping keys with prox tags safe

    actually I think I've found one https://www.timpson.co.uk/securikey-euro-vault-035-key-locking-safe.html bolting that inside a hall cupboard that will easier than trying to diy something , will engage a pro locksmith to sort a cylinder to suit, probably get all the doors done to upgrade them to...

    keeping keys with prox tags safe

    are you able to give me any specific product pointers? all the small/inexpensive safes I can find after a few hours googling use locks that look nothing like a front door one? my front door is a modern upvc/composite multipoint lock with a typical single sided key.

    keeping keys with prox tags safe

    yes would be interesting if you could do a proper two-factor. could simply be tag + pin, if the panel supported it. which would logically be the same as what most enterprise VPNs use for remote access. yes been looking at products to do that. I think diy'ing a box with electric locks is above...

    keeping keys with prox tags safe

    I guess that what I am positing is not really a safe in your professional/technical sense of the word. Its a strong(ish) cupboard, with a lock , the lock being set/unset to match the alarm state. so yes I was thinking exactly to use the alarm set output from the panel. this guy...

    keeping keys with prox tags safe

    all valid suggestions thanks but it doesn't fit the way I want to use it. If it was well out of the way , we'd never use it - it needs to be a convenient place to keep the keys that are used several times a day (so in practice, the hall area, perhaps cupboard understairs) if it was further away...

    keeping keys with prox tags safe

    hi was trying to think like a burglar about how I would defeat my alarm. we don't always go out taking all bunches of keys with us (we have loads, for cars, bikes, caravans, it would be a lot of metal to carry) and some of those bunches have prox tags on them. hence, there is quite often a bunch...

    enforcer digi-gprs-sim

    I've just ordered a pyronix system, from a distributor who was helpful at finding out the app and gsm costs. which are entirely reasonable. app@36/year, app+data@72/year.

    enforcer digi-gprs-sim

    thanks matt, thats exactly what I wanted. I do have a (very) techy background. I've RTFM on the control panels and comfortable with it, was just feeling hampered by lack of documentation on the gprs capability/costs. my cams are running separate system over infinity broadband, data usage for...

    yes, exactly, am I correct that home control panel with DIGI-GPRS-SIM module will provide that? do you know any figure? for the app subscription and the sim subscription? thanks

    enforcer digi-gprs-sim

    why can't I afford it? just want to know is it 10quid or 100 quid or 1000 quid, i can afford all 3, but you don't buy without understanding what you are getting and making value considerations? not unreasonable to try to find out? I've had several alarm engineers round and not been impressed...
