I have a 10 core cable going to my Garage and I'd like to be able to put two zones, a bell box and a RPK. If anyone has a copy of or a link to the installation manuals for the SW812 that would be great.

pmac086 wrote: » Hi Tim M-U, ta for reply, I have the Engineer code and full manual but the manual does not give the Disable instruction for the communications, have gone into the panel and came to "Arc reporting" and the options are Arm/Disarm and have Disarmed but make no difference as the panel is logging up to 20 times a day with "Line Fault", "Test failed" Etc. If koolkid can help as you say it would be great. Cheers

Ebuy can you post what type of cable the 10 core is.
pmac086 wrote: » Hi Altor, Ta for the answer for the Aritec 250, I will try that and let you know. Just to ask the Arc phone and A/c Nos in the panel is 0 , can I delete that to "nothing" as perhaps it is trying to ring 0 all the time.
pmac086 wrote: » Righty , will try that, is this after I hit 0 to open the Ark No, as otherwise arrow up will bring me back to the previous stage. Ta again, I feel the power down will reset the panel but it would be good to delete all the arc info.

koolkid wrote: » I have seen it happen on occasion. But to say it is a fact & will happen every time is not true. It depends on cable run,cable type ,distance , as well as other external sources. Which is why I asked When/if Ebuy responds I will advise if I think there will be a problem. It would seem he has a number of options open to him , so if this method of common power etc creates problems we will advise him how to solve them.

ebuy wrote: » apologies for the delayed response (away on holidays) .... I checked the cable, Its actually a 10 x 2 pair cable (20 wires in toral) that was installed between the house and garage. 10 pairs, all covered in black plastic, with some 'sticky' material inside the plastic. The run is ~ 15 meters. This will be a new install and I was planing on using the SW812 unit.

altor wrote: » Hi kearneyt, I would recommend upgrading to the new HKC SW 1070, If as you say you have no problems with the old alarm other than the battery it would be a straight swap. With this panel you will have the ability to add wire free devices e.g. two way motions, shocks, secure keyfobs on to it plus if you want to stick a voice or text dialer onto it you can monitor the alarm yourself.

Tim M-U wrote: » The new securewatch systems meet the en50131 standard, this is required for central station and they require a licensed installer inorder for the gards to come out (if memory servers me right, you will get a form to fill out!) Most installers that use the securewatch systems use the hkc txt digi which is normal.. When you say 'make an announcement', i persume you mean a speaker that would say something like 'GET THE HELL OUT OF MY HOUSE' or something. yes this may be possible, like the lights feature you could use a zone or somthing and have it ready and only turnon when the alarm is activated. altor or koolkid might help you with more information.. I hope this is what you meant?
