    Europlex panel - false alarm

    It shows the time that the alarm (night mode) was set It says '***ALARM***' and the same time as the message in the OP. Not yet. I was trying to understand why it would register an alarm for a non-alarm condition. With the Europlex panel, a 'closed' circuit is a non-triggered circuit. It...

    Europlex panel - false alarm

    Last night one of our PIRs triggered an alarm. Now, I know spiders and bugs can cause false alarms but when I looked at the log on the panel it reported that the zone was 'closed 1050'. To seems to indicate that the zone wasn't triggered and was within the correct loop resistance window of 1000...

    Europlex Alarm - engineer code reset

    Well, I've managed to find the problem and its not related to the wiring. Although not documented in the manual, there's a 'confirm set' option in the engineer menu. This was the culprit.

    Europlex Alarm - engineer code reset

    Mm. I've wired the bell and the strobe on the same int bell output on the panel as the ext bell relay output doesnt seem to work when the ext bell is activated whereas the int relay does. Maybe that is the problem.

    Europlex Alarm - engineer code reset

    I've come across another little problem with this board; After installing everything, for some reason, the bell sounds for a second or two when setting the alarm. Does anyone know if this is a 'feature' that can be turned off (I've scoured the manual for such a reference but not found anything)...

    Europlex Alarm - engineer code reset

    It was removed from an ATM cabinet when the ATM was removed, so it should be in good working order. It seems ok so far.

    Europlex Alarm - engineer code reset

    Europlex Alarm - engineer code reset

    I have just obtained ( for nothing) an old europlex verifier 64 alarm with the idea that I'll install it as a nice and cheap alarm in my home. I have the installation manual but it seems that the default engineer code has been changed (hardly surprising). Is there a way I can get it back to he...

    Excel or Word Installation forms?

    Is there anywhere I can download some 7671-2008 installation forms in Word or Excel format so I can fill them in on the pc? The IEE had some fill-able PDF's but only the 16th edition ones.

    RCBO not tripping with Hi current ELI test

    The PSCC at the board I was working on was 15.8KA It was TN-S I didn't check the resistances of the switch contacts I got the same results on the two seperate RCD circuits that had been put in. I haven't tried the tester at home as I don't have any RCD's on my old wiring system. I was using...

    RCBO not tripping with Hi current ELI test

    Had a strange situation today; I installed a couple of Hager 30ma RCBO's on a ring and radial. When I tested the Zs using the non-trip setting of Megger MFT1502, I got a high reading (7.3ohm). This was very strange considering the Ze was 0.04 and the R1+R2 about 0.56. I then tried testing using...

    2391 Paper - 12th August 2010 - Anyone have it?

    Hi, Does anyone have the paper from this Thursday? I sat the exam on Thursday evening and, while sitting through the agonizing wait until the results come through in October, would like to have a look through the paper in my own time and see where I have probably made mistakes!!! Thanks, Bonzer
