    ADT Galaxy G2 Bat-...Bat+ alerts?

    Hi, A few weeks ago, ADT serviced my alarm and changed the battery. Since then, but not every day, around 14.00hrs +-5 minutes, I have been getting a BAT- alert, followed a few minutes later by a BAT+ alert. There are no other log entries around this time. After viewing the log, the system sets...

    ADT RRI comms technology

    Does anyone know how ADT's RRI system communicates with the panel (Galaxy G2)? In particular if there is any aspect of the local phone installation that might interfere with correct operation - call blockers, instant pickup answer machine, etc? Thanks,

    Type B RCD (ie AC/DC sensing - NOT RCBOs!) stockists?

    Does anyone know of a supplier that holds type B 30mA DP RCDs of any make, as required for EV charging points? I can't find any on TLC, YESSS or CEF web sites. For that matter, I can't find them listed on the common manufacturers' web sites either. (MK, Wylex, Eaton, Hager) Thanks

    Moving ADT pane; 20" up the wall

    I need my ADT panel moved 20" up the wall to make way for a new consumer unit etc. I'm more than capable of doing it myself (I've designed alarm systems and panels in the past and when the panel was installed they used all the existing wiring that I had already put in) but I was wondering...

    Induction Hobs

    There are several posts on this forum that say that diversity can't be applied to induction hobs as they boost the output of one ring when not all are in use. This does not make any sense to me at all! Think of the thermodynamics: Once the item(s) being heated is up to the temperature the...

    I'm in a bit of a quandry. My aged, partially sighted aunt needs to get power to a pain relief heat pad and a high power magnifier to be used when sitting in her lounge. The only wall adjacent to where she sits is entirely taken up with a radiator - the only position for mounting a socket...
