    Dual Techs use 2 different types, e.g passive infra red and a microwave sensor.

    Quads use 4 Passive infra red sensors.

    Resistors are used in the last device.
    They are used to supervise the alarm/tamper and cable circuit.

    Hello - firstly, sorry am new to Boards so not sure if I'm in the right place ... but I have a question for Altor, as haven been scanning through Boards for last few days and seems to have answers for everyone on this kind of stuff!!

    I have same problem as many on here: recently bought new house, has PhoneWatch security system, didn't want to continue monitoring, now get regular 'Phone Failure 1' message, the PW helpline don't seem to want to help!

    Think its trying to make periodic contact with central station and, from what I learned reading threads on here, I need to delete that number from the system? Question is do I need engineer codes to do that? I have user code, and 'factory code', but don't think they'll do the trick? Any advice greatly appreciated! Thanks, Oran

    Its very hard to get the engineer code if you didn't have the system installed yourself but no harm requesting this code.
    They usually send out a waiver form to facilitate this if you request it.

    The engineer code is used to delete the phone numbers and phone line test feature on these panels to stop the system dialing out.

    Do you know what system you have installed?
