Interia sensor (vibration): €8 contact €1-2, Meteor electrical.co.uk have em for 40c less! smoke: €70 depends.. The above is an average, you could get them cheaper. I havent a clue on wireless though. For an wirefree install anything could be €1000-€1500, duno, ask altor? Have a good day!

The code for the alarm appears to allow me into the options menus on the alarm panel though, I just cant work out how to switch it to standalone mode. Any ideas? The alarm is beeping every 5 mins, even if I could mute the alert I would be happy.
altor wrote: » Hi Kace, That is a concord panel. The panel has a dialer built in that can be programmed to dial your phone and emit a series of alarm tones. It will only contact one phone. The external bell can also be added on to this alarm but a cable will need to be brought from the panel location to where you are putting the external bell. All the above is possible to do but you will need engineer access to the alarm to change the settings for this to work. I will PM you details of how to get your engineer code off the alarm.
Kace wrote: » Altor - big thank you for the phone conversation and explaining how to navigate my system, allowing me to change the unit so that it now calls my mobile when the alarm is triggered !! My vote of confidence and goodwill generated for any future alarm-based business that I may have for you in future.

altor wrote: » Hi Donaldo, Where you released the front lid at the top of the panel you will need to stick a screwdriver in to access the battery. When you stick in the screwdriver you will be lifting the back cover up slightly to release the main cover. The battery you need is a BS-110N. Any problems, let us know.

I did a sensor test on the system and can see that 3 of the window sensors are not being picked up when i test them. i assume this might be because of batteries (even though the system didn't warn me about low battery). i am going to replace the batteries and see if it helps. i was wondering if you could send me instructions on how to enter engineer mode to avoid setting off the tamper? i *think i have the system code, however when i enter it in the system nothing happens? Is there anyway of checking if i have the right code? Thanks for your help. Kenny

Eircom are telling me that 0#7 has to sound for 30 secs and it can't be changed to alarm silently. I don't believe them and was wondering if anyone has done this or can shed any light on this for me Tks
alanhunt99 wrote: » Any Idea on how to change it? Do I need an engineering code to access the menu. They wont call out cause they said it was always like that. Eircom are impossible to deal with and I feel like cancelling it. You would think that this was a simple process

Kace wrote: » Not sure if you have the same Phonewatch Alarm panel as me, but mine can be silenced simply by entering '5' before your normal command. For example, to arm the system to 'Away' I normally jsut press '3' and then I get 30 seconds of beeps. By pressing '5' then '3' the alarm is armed silently. Same for disarming.
