Open panel lid to find battery is split in multiple places and has acid spilling out of it all over the bottom of panel.

Put gloves on and clean that mess up trimed back the battery leads as had been eaten away.

Then i notice the mains live terminal has a inch 8 screw sticking out of it with a piece of insualtion tape covering the head of the screw which is about to fall off.

//.B.W.F.// i think good job i never brushed it with my hand so i go to dissconnect power to see if i can put a small chock block screw into it.

There is no spur for the system and upon investigation it is wired straight into the lighting circuit.

So i sort those problems out to then find that the engineer has locked the engineers code (veritas)

So i then have to use customers code to do tests etc. I find the bell is not a sab, the global tamper is linked out and all wires are 4 core with no labels and cut short

Well over my years i have gained plenty of funny stories but one that has always amused me is the bell phone,


So i'm working for ADT service at the time and i get a callout, the description says, customers bell box is ringing like a phone.

I think hmm strange, so i ring the customer and ask what the problem is, he tells me that when his phone rings the outside bell rings too.

Up for a challenge i go to investigate thinking it can't be possible, when i get there i ring his house line and sure enough the bell mimics the ringer and you can hear it down the street.

Worst thing is it even mimics your voice so i spoke down my mobile and could hear my voice being amplified out of the bell.

He didnt know it also amplified his conversations and so for the last 2 days all his converstations had been broadcasted down the street lol!

The system was a galaxy 8 with digi, i presumed a pcb fault had occured between the line terminals and bell somehow so just replaced board and problem went.]]> Yuzi87 Alarm Co Mon, 07 May 2012 10:56:38 +0100 Mon, 07 May 2012 18:03:38 +0100 34734 http://thefireandsecurityinstaller.com/community/index.php?showtopic=34732 Got a good 3G signal on site with O2 so Iam inclined to go with O2 as I haven't checked any other network.
I assume you can programme the router to run on 3G all the time ,rather than just fail over, and is your ip on 3G static or dhcp?

We've recently moved into a new house with the 700L. It's just been serviced prior to us moving in and all seems to be working correctly.

One thing I'm really struggling with, however, is the part set function. With the exception of the entry points, it's PIR only, so the isolated zone is in the landing.

Setting the alarm clearly shows the part zone set and it lets me set and go through the living room and up the stairs. When up the stairs, I can walk past the landing PIR and nothing happens, as expected. However, when I go back down the stairs, the alarm is instantly triggered by the living room PIR.

Am I missing something here? I obviously want the PIRs to fire the system, but given I get up around 6am in the morning, can't imagine this will impress my neighbours every day!

As an aside, would it be worth upgrading this system (although well serviced, it's been in the house since it was built in 1996).

Thanks in advance.

My father has a garage / workshop at the bottom of the garden and so is remote from the house. There is vehicular access to the garage by a private access road which serves all the houses in the street, and a personal door into the garden. A recent attempt was made at breaking into the garage by both the vehicular and personal doors by removing some of the timber.

There is an alarm in the garage which I fitted about 1993. The panel is an ADE Optima XM6 panel with contacts on the two wooden doors giving vehicular access and the personal door. I have also fitted a PIR which covers the windows as well as the doors. The siren is mounted facing the house.

In this case the alarm did not trigger as there was no entry into the garage. So the questions are:

1. Would it be worth adding shock sensors to any of the doors?
2. Would it be worth adding an additional SCB bellbox on the gable end facing the access road? Does it advertise or deter?
3. Is it worth updating the panel?
4. Are there any radio links that can be used to connect the garage alarm to the house alarm that will trigger either a full external alarm or internal sounder in the event of an activation in the garage? The garage alarm is difficult to hear at the front of the house.

I can provide diagrams if it helps.

Thanks for any advice or input.]]> Deryck Tintagel magpye Sun, 08 Apr 2012 21:43:54 +0100 Tue, 10 Apr 2012 07:15:53 +0100 34696 http://thefireandsecurityinstaller.com/community/index.php?showtopic=34694

I fitted a gardtec 595 wireless system 2 years ago at home, which worked fine, but i really wanted to use hard wired pir sensors, because of the low battery issues, so i went out and bought hard wired pir's, i used 8 cord telephone cable for all the pir sensor.
The pir sensors are gardtec COSMOS DTRK-115DTI, which have a
12VDC: Power Supply input.
ALARM: Normally closed output.
TAMPER: Normally closed dry output..
I needed help connecting up the tamper and the alarm to the main control panel.
The manual has given a few different ways of wiring eg. ELF1(end of line format 1) using 6k8 and 4k7 and 12k resistors, or ELF2 (end of line format 2) or detector using wired biscuit etc.
which one would work best for me i have attached some diagrams please view.
Would i connect the 2 wires from my 1st pir to AZ1, and pir 2 to AZ2 etc,
which pair on the control panel do i connect all the tampers to, or do i connect the tampers in series so they are all linked on 2 wires.

I've got an ESP Infinite System which except for the mains wiring I installed myself a few years ago. I now need to replace the control panel battery and am looking for tips. Battery changes for the PIRs have been straight forward using the 'bypass' function before hand but this isn't available for the panel. I remember opening up the External Siren that there was no way of getting round at least a short burst of alarm as you took the cover off so was looking for tips on opening the control panel without pissing the neighbors off too much.

Have the battery ready but just wanted to get the procedure straight before opening up the panel. Any help appreciated.

I got into installing and programming my alarm after the electrician that fitted it got a bit out of his depth with the programming and set up. He had done a good job on other electrical work on our house and wired up the ESP Infinite to the mains ok. He'd got everything fitted but got stuck/lost interest on the programming. From looking at the manuals and speaking to him it was clear he wasn't going to get his head round it anytime soon so I decided to just do it my self. It took a while but once set up it has worked well. After a couple of false alarms in the early hours from misaligned tamper switches I went round a re-installed all the PIRs as well. Since then we've only had a couple of false alarms in 3 years, both from a spiders.

Only work it's required has been battery changes, and now the control panels up for a new one I'm heading over to post for tips on the Control Panel section.

Having said the above if I had to do it again I would probably get a pro to fit a wired Alarm to save my time and to avoid having to persuade lots of plastic PIRs to open for battery changes without breaking!]]> w-j w-j Sat, 24 Mar 2012 15:27:25 +0000 Sat, 24 Mar 2012 15:27:25 +0000 34683 http://thefireandsecurityinstaller.com/community/index.php?showtopic=34681 Can anyone suggest an equivalent that will fit?

I have an Odessey 3E bell box wired in to a Scantronic I-On 16.

I am new to this system (in fact I am just getting in to the game so am fairly new to alarms in general) but I cannot get the Bell-box out of Hold-Off mode.

It seems that the left LED of the strobe is slowly flashing, which to me indicates that the unit is in Hold Off with Tamper Circuit Open.

Aparently it is able to be cancelled when sounder is activated from the Control Panel, but I can't seem to get it to work like this.


Photos of the wiring are as follows.







Have I wired it correctly?








For some reason it didn't attach the wiring diagram for the Ion Panel:

2 x ATS1170 One Door controller

The guy who designed the system left the company & I am not familiar with the system

There are 4 doors - 3 of which has BIOSCRYPT reader outside & T100 inside - 1 door has T100 outside & exit button inside.

I've wired the system & finally I can open & close doors using the cards & fingerprints -

Now I need help doing 2 things:

1- I have a dry contact (Relay NO or NC) coming from the fire system - I need to make the system open all doors if the fire alarm change the relay state.

2- The BIOSCRYPT are connected to the 1250 panel - no network connection to each reader exist, now, everytime a user enroll his/her fingerprint in one reader, the admin need to go to update other readers with a laptop - is there any other way using the ATS panel?

Thanks for your help.

I will be very grateful for any feed back:

I would like to know if it is possible to add more then one sensor to the same cable? If so can this be done on all diy wired alarms or do i need a special make (i havent bought a system yet, however any suggestions on a diy alarm system which can have 2 pirs / 2 door sensors / phone dialer will be appreciated)

Essentially i wish to avoid running separate cables for each sensor - if this is possible.

Am I going mad but can you get a module or similar that you can put onto an existing wired alarm and put wireless devices onto the already installed alarm?

I am sure I seen something during a search on the internet but can not find anything like it now, or was I going mad?
