koolkid wrote: » It will ring your number yes. But on a test call it will fail because its expecting a hanshake from ARC.
koolkid wrote: » Yes a full activation will test it for you. Remember there is probably a 20 second delay on alarm activations. Leave text enabled if you want it to text you also.

altor wrote: » The quickest way to test it is to activate a panic on the alarm. " * and # on the keypad together "
seanwindle22 wrote: » Thaks altor So basically with the gsm connected the dmc can only a monitoring station and not my phone i just got a text saying dmc ftc i persume this is from the dmc
altor wrote: » Correct. The ftc is failed to communicate meaning the test call failed.
seanwindle22 wrote: » Thanks again Altor I will just carry on with the gsm and maybe down the line connect the dmc to the monitoring station
altor wrote: » Its a pity it cant do both. If you turn off the line monitor it will save you having to remove it from the panel plus if you do decide to connect it to a monitoring station it will already be installed.
seanwindle22 wrote: » ok thanks again for all your help ya is a shame it cannot be used. regarding the gsm outputs i spoke to someone in hkc and they informed me that i could use o/p 3 &4 for heating i just need to re programme them in the menu. only drawback tho is e.g text aux to turn off o/p 4 and if connected to a pump wil turn that off and on etc. i reprogrammed these and tested them and it worked prefect. o/p 3 was also re programmed so its not a pulse out but a toggle switch like the rest.

altor wrote: » 12v smoke detectors are more commonly used with alarm systems. Wired direct into the main control panel.
seanwindle22 wrote: » ok so where in the main panal do i wire into and how do i connect to the gsm unit
altor wrote: » They are connected into a zone on the panel. Change the zone type to fire. You will get the 12v supply off the panel.
seanwindle22 wrote: » thanks again altor will any make of a 12 v smoke detector do could you recommend one even
altor wrote: » I use EI Electronics Ionisation 12v Smoke Detector for a hall or landing or EI Electronics 12v Heat Detector for a kitchen.
seanwindle22 wrote: » thanks altor im sure any brand would do the job must get 2 to link into the system
