Chris Your battery needs to be sized based on the load. There are minumum requirements re standby time depending on the version of the regs your using, ie older BS4737 or newer BS EN 50131 re smoke detector any of the texecom unit will work fine but personally id use a menvier M12 unit as its 3 sensors in one and can be programmed at the sensor to detect as required, ie heat / smoke / rate of rise or a combination of those. Door contacts You can use any normal double pole contact and fit eol resistors or use a contact with built in resistors ie the elmdene / knight graded units.

Emergency Lighting Routine Testing Requirements EN50172:2005 requires that at times of minimum risk the system is routinely tested. The following regime taken directly from the standard shows how often and what should be tested. This is only a brief overview and full consultation with the standard is advised Daily A visual inspection of every maintained emergency luminaire to ensure the lamp is operating correctly and in central or generator based systems that the control panel or indicators are showing normal conditions. Any faults must be entered into the system logbook and a check that any previously reported faults have received attention. Monthly * Self-contained emergency luminaires should be energized from their internal batteries by simulation of the supply, for sufficient time to ensure correct lamp operation and light output. * Central systems shall be energized from their batteries for a period not exceeding 25% of their capacity and all emergency luminaires checked for correct lamp operation and light output. * Generator systems shall be energised for their full rated duration and the lamps checked for correct operation and light output throughout the test. Six Monthly * All self-contained and central battery 3 hour emergency systems shall be continuously energized from their internal battery packs for a period of one-hour and the lamps checked for correct operation and light output. * Generator supplied systems should have the monthly test applied. Three Yearly * Self-contained emergency luminaires shall be energized from their internal batteries for their full rated duration and the lamps checked for correct operation and light output throughout the test. * Central systems shall be energised for their full rated duration and the lamps checked for correct operation and light output throughout the test. Note For Self-contained emergency luminaires the 3 year test should be carried out annually

No Problem, glad you sorted it. Nice soldering by the way!

Have you set 4.6.1 GSM Installation to 'Installed' In the installation menu ?

can you use the other gsm module functions or is it just sms that fails?

The sim doesnt have a sim lock on it does it? Have you tested it works in a phone?

You will need to contact honeywell, it is only available to licenced installers.

Ravis, i think Bobs intention was to have the backlight illuminated all the time, not just during keypress's etc.

Id recommend the M12 detector here. Utilises 6 core intruder cable, is 12v and has a N/C relay. Is programmable for optical smoke/ fixed heat/ rate of rise heat. http://www.securitywarehouse.co.uk/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=638

Also the spec of the resistor is relevant, you can use any that match that spec. I would suggest they are 4k7 not 47k. We do have packs of resistors for various panels listed. But as above i would of assumed a pack would come witrh the panel

BOb There is an unsupported way. The Accenta keypad uses 2 transistors to control the backlight. These can be bypassed. Obviously any pcb mod will invalidate the warranty and is not a security warehouse supported mod. Anyway I have attached a picture showing the location of the transistors.

MIght be easier and more stable to add a gsm dialler with hardwired inputs.

no if you use eol without pairing you will have 8 zones, but with individual tamper detection. using zone doubling would give 16 circuits

AGreed, i would swap the sensor with another room to see if the fault moves. If it did then i would assume the unit was faulty. Another test after that is to mask the unit completly.

Great thanks As you have a high security Grade 3 contact there it needs to be a little closer. As a temp measure for testing, remove the magney and temp affix next to the contact (ie right next to it) and it should clear. James

AS I have emailed the manual to your account address. James

That sounds right. Have you got the magnet correctly alligned? If unsure post a pic of the unit as installed with the door closed.

Don What colours have you connected from the contact to the panel?

As previous post let us know your order number and we can send an engineering manual. James

Good actions so far. Is it always the same pir? If so what room is it and do you have any stairs etc in view. The biggest problem with cars and pet pirs is them getting close to the sensor ie within 6ft or so. Is that possible? The cold can and does affect pir's but im assuming your house is heated so the temp will be pretty constant. Also with temp compensating pir's they would get less sensitive in a cold environment not more (its easier for the sensor to see body heat when its colder)

you will need to isolate the unused zones or leave them linked out. If you let me know your order number we can send you an engineering manual for the panel.

I concur with fastcar. Whilst you can wire more than 8 detectors from an accenta/optima it is not recommended and if relevant will not comply. ALso you will not be able to identify the detector that alarmed etc. Both panels mentioned (premier / galaxy) are fine panels. Depending on ultimate flexability req the premier is more powerful than the G2 range.

re the keypad issue. Is it working at all? If so which functions can you perform and which cant you. re sounder issue, how old is your powermax (ie what revision board / order date) as only later versions accept the fully wireless sounder. How many sounders do you currently have on the system?

Cazza. Are you sure you learnt the fob into the system? Its usually in cases like this the fob has not been learnt in correctly.

Could you posta a picture of one of the sensors wiring and your panel wiring. Sounds like you have left the EOL resistors in the sensors? James
