    Ever such a thing as too much wire?

    Have you checked the phase? Out of phase speakers will cancel themselves removing tone and low frequencies.

    Using LED to monitor status of a relay

    Your best bet would be to use a double pole relay and wire your led off of there. Wiring an led in series with your source voltage will only cause you problems(like when the led blows out and your irrigation doesn't turn on). I prefer to keep control circuits seperate from power circuits. Most...

    DVR Question

    I run a p4 3.0ghz Dell with onboard video running eyemax software. I have 32 channels, remote view anywhere in the world, built in motion detection, tv output and audio recording. The software is free and the cards can be had for around 400 on up. Even with 20 cameras it doesn't bog the pc and...

    Installing 1K resistors on security loops

    The four state referred to in the diagram is a double end of line configuration. It does not offer any other state other than the three I talked about. Double eol's are usually used for the configuration I referred to before, where you can place an eol at the panel and also in the field at the...

    Motion detector, only 2 wires at location :(

    Have you used the motions I used as an example- I agree with the power loss situation, but it happens. http://www.tycomarine.com/docs/security/in..._2003-02-19.pdf Please read page 2 carefully, especially the part where is refers to standby current draw vs. alarm current.

    Monitoring worth it??

    I would also like to state,I will not replying to this thread any longer, its not that I don't have more to say, it has just come to my attention I am in the wrong place.

    Installing 1K resistors on security loops

    please note i agree only in the context of a parallel circuit, a series circuit is irrelevant.

    Monitoring worth it??

    Thank you for your insight from the c/s world. The point of the matter was wether monitoring from nexalarm (or insert monitoring station)was any better than having it call a cell, neighbor or sms and email a message. I have dealt with the yearly visit from UL for almost ten years. You of all...

    Monitoring worth it??

    Your first statement is rude and uncalled for. You have no idea what i do or know. But know I have an idea of what you know. I am not an installer and i do not run a UL c/s. I have built one before and continue to manage it on a daily basis from a UL/IT stand point. "That UL Rating is...

    Installing 1K resistors on security loops

    I would love to expand on this. Thank you for your pleasant response. What I am saying is this. (and yes people can quote this and use it on the final exam)Understand that an alarm panel(an analog circuit-not multiplex or digital addressable bus) uses current, not just voltage or those silly...

    Installing 1K resistors on security loops

    Ahem. I am not an installer, but Ive played one on tv. "So forgive us if we don't know as much as you - clearly you are an expert and we are all a bunch of idiots." I can forgive those who dont know, I just cant forgive those who act they do. By the way isnt your post "pretty argumentative...

    Installing 1K resistors on security loops

    Ok, first isn't your reply for attention also? One thread started a year ago and was never correctly answered. "It shouldn't even be an option to disable the zone supervision." what is worse disabling it or putting the resistor in the box?"-what is worse is this is a tech forum with a "i tried...
