HKC Quantum 70

Stinky45

Hi All

I have two HKC 70 alarms...both working well as alarms and trouble free.

However I have one gripe with one of them and it is connected to my mobile phone by a added GSM card.

If/when the alarm goes off I and other family members get a text...it reports the usual info.

However one thing on this alarm is always inaccurate as the inbuilt timer/clock is running fast ...a few minutes fast every day. This has the unwanted result of saying the alarm went off at 17:00 when it really went of at 13:00...ok the call to my phone is a log which has accurate time but the log in the alarm hasn't. In the event of an Insurance claim I don't know would the Company be pleased to have a log recording something that is completely inaccurate.

I would be interested to hear if the clock/timer can be adjusted to run at the correct pace.

And if you reset to the correct time how soon does it run out of sync.?

Stinky45

Straight away...it'll be a few minutes fast the very next day

Did you self install these systems and how old are they?

Stinky45

YES...self install... version 3 and version 2 (software)

Version 2 does not have an internal gsm card the version 3 does have the card and it is this Quantum 70 v3 that has the fast clock/timer

OK firstly don't get too bothered about Insurance companies, if they accept a self install then they won't be too concerned about the incorrect time.

AFAIK the latest software has that time differential sorted.

Thank you...I wasn't too bothered but if there was some setting that could be adjusted it would have been nice to know.

I have one of these in a new commercial property I moved into, are these systems suitable for commercial premises or are they mainly for domestic premises?, I have the set and un-set code but was wondering if all of these come with a GSM feature and if all I have to do is get a sim card and set it up?

I have a new business so really don't want to pay someone to do this! is it straight forward to do and does anyone have an installation manual I could have to enable me to do this.

Thanks a million

You can add a GSM dialler and self monitor.
As this is a commercial premises does your insurance company not require central station monitoring and annual maintenance?

The insurance never asked about an intruder alarm as I was previously working from home. I thought these came with GSM's already built in but obviously not.

Thanks for your help Kool kid

You are welcome. For your own benefit double check your insurance requirements. Insurance companies don't normally look for much untill you start looking for money.

They are simple to set up but you will need the engineer code to add the GSM to the system.
I have P.Med you the installation manual.
