Hi Guys,

I have a HKC SW1070 that I installed myself 2 years ago.
Lately I am getting the following errors "Dev ComFlt" for all the six ID Contact/Inertia Sensors connect in parallel to the same Zone.

Can anyone give me guidance to debug this fault.

Thanks
Cathal

The system has stopped communicating with the sensors.
If all 6 devices are on the same cable and are not communicating it will be the cable from the control panel to the first device which is causing the problem. If you open the devices is the red LED on?

Just got new windows and doors trying to reset my hkc Quantom 70 wireless alarm any suggestions please as it saying all zones open

All zones open would indicate to me that the devices are not fitted correctly. Check sensor head arrows are pointing up. Also if magnets are used make sure these line up to close the reed on the device.

Can anyone tell me if the keypads form a HKC 8-12 system will work on the new 10-70 panel ?
Have it installed and working fine with the one keypad that came in the kit, but getting comms error on the the second keypad upstairs.
Just upgraded to facilitate gsm instead of text modem.
Thanks......

No the keypad off the 8/12 will not work with the 10/70.

OK, thanks for that. Just picked one up in Wesco.....:)

Hi richiemac, I have a HKC 8-12 system too and hate loosing the text facility but I only fitted it four years ago and am reluctant to fork out again on new new panel and three keypads (will I need to replace external siren too?) but out of curiosity what has it cost you for parts to do this change ball park ? As I installed the alarm I'm hoping I could do the swap if of course I could afford the parts.

The cheaper options would be an IP panel like Siemens or Risco. There would be no running costs or GSM charges. Also as you have the apps you might not need the extra keypads.

Thanks KoolKid, I would like to change to an IP panel but my current HKC is very reliable and plus the better half won't see the reason to change when it is working! Maybe you could give me some advice whats best. I only keep the house phone for the alarm and would love to get rid of that bill as its rarely used. Do I need a good internet connection to get the best out of an IP panel, I currently get phone & BB through sky as Im a long way from exchange the max speed I get is 0.9mb (no typo there !) So in getting rid of phone line I would loose my very poor BB but 3G or 4G mobile BB would give me greater speed there. I didn't do this yet as I was keeping phone line for alarm didn't make sense to pay for both. If I was to get an IP panel would it be compatible with a 4G mobile router ? Or would I just fork out for GSM plug on for my current panel ? Very confused and you to after reading this post :-)

All sorted now ......just one last question. Can the need to enter user code after Part Sets be disabled ?
Been round the menus 100 times this morning already and can't find it
Wasn't required on the Securewatch .
Thanks a lot.....

It was on. Changed to off and panel flashes ' ready to arm '

Hi every one i just fitted hkc alarm 1070 by myself, i fitted all the window sensor and one motion detector , i put each sensor as each one in separate zone like zone one kitchen window, zone2 kitchen door. But how should i put them to in different group so i can part set.

any help would be appreciated.

hi does anyone know if i can wire a hkc sabb bellbox to a 1070 panel using a 2 core cable
