Moved in - New Alarm Required.

[secureiam]

you can do as you like its your alarm. It would still work, just it isn't the way we would do it.

so back to zone 1 door contact, zone 2 pir in the hallway and the rest elsewhere on the other zones.

Great, thanks!

I think the best thing is that I wait until the alarm arrives and once I've study it, I'll contact you on here then.

Once again, many thanks for your help secureiam.

Thanks for waiting. I received the alarm today. Unfortunately when I opened the parcel, the kit packaging within it was damaged and the seal was already broke. Also one or two items also had scratches too.

I've written an email to Alert Electrical and just hope they resolve it ASAP.

not a good start

 

[securitynewbie]

Nope, but since it's open, is it worth me taking some pictures of it and posting them on this forum so that you can help me understand the connections?

If it had a broken seal and scratches on the items when delivered to you then the chances are it was not new but could have been returned from a dis-satisfied customer. It may not even be in full working order.

That's exactly my worry. I'm just awaiting for a reply from Alert Electrical and most likely will send it back. In the meantime, is it worth taking a look and investigating the alarm, so that when I get a replacement, I'll have the advantage of knowing what to do?

 

[bernardgreen]

is it worth taking a look and investigating the alarm,

NO

If you do then the supplier may try to avoid refunds / replacement by claiming that the scratches etc were caused by you.

Your right. I'll wait for their response and will let you know what happens.

Thanks again

I'd take the CD out and copy the installation PDF to your computer so you can have a read. You may change your mind once you've had a read

Why? Is it that complex?

that depends on how well you process information but it is quite long at 132 pages so there's quite a bit of bedtime reading, like I said you have the CD so have a look at it.

My goodness, I was hoping that most of you members were exaggerating, but your definately right as it is a very detailed and advanced manual. I doubt it very much that I'll figure out how it connects and works.
