Let me see what I can find out... -Ben No problem Ben - I'll await your response with fingers crossed :)

Hey Guys, Batwater - that app looks perfect for what we need.... BUT.... We installed it and it works sweet, talks nicely to the IT-100, but returns this error in a popup box onscreen: DSC PC5401 00032 Time NOV 14 7:29p is not a valid integer for field 'Data" Any ideas lads? Looks like an...

Should also add that we have hyperterminal saving to a text file but this is only able to be accessed by Excel once hyperterminal has paused sending data to the file.

Hi Ben - can you provide the correct link? We pulled the card out of the DSC unit today and it is indeed a IT-100 interface card, so this application could be useful if it can be found :) Dan - fair to say we would struggle with writing VBS code, we are ok with the cables and nuts/bolts, but...

Hi Guys, We have just bought a new premises for work and it has a DSC alarm system with a COM port interface card in it. Being in the trade, we hooked up the laptop and fired up good old hyperterminal.... We were pleased to see that we could receive codes such as this: 00332 0032A 00130 00128...

Hi Guys, With respect, the Brultech forum has little or no activity. I was'nt going to hold my breath and hope for an anwser over there! Anyway, the problem resolved. I am using a standard COM port serial connection between my automation PC and the 1240, I power cycled the 1240 maybe 3-4 times...

Hi Guys, I have been having some issues with my 1240 updating the Dashboard software correctly, so I decided to upgrade all of the software including the the firmware via the latest ECM1240 IA. I downloaded the latest firmware from Brultech and used the IA application button to update the...

Hi Pete, much obliged. I'll have a read up on that thread and come back to you. I am happy to transfer the funds to you to enable the purchase on behalf. edit: hmmm, looks like some issues currently with this product. i wanted to use it for 1-wire interfacing as well, so I may hold off until...

Does anyone know of a supplier of these that will ship worldwide? The Amazon sellers I found will only ship to the US... :o

I am insanely jealous of your guys per KWH rates, here in New Zealand, my domestic 80A single phase supply rate is currently 18.3c/per KWH.....and its about to get worse when our Government signs us all up to the Carbon Emissions Trading Scheme, making it costly for coal fired electricity...

Hi Guys, Tenholde, that has sorted the problem and tenecmcharts now works superbly on my Vista laptop. The issue was the same as the other users, I was missing the Arial Regular font. I have no idea how this happened, but installing arial.ttf to the fonts folder has cured the problem. Thanks...

Cheers Wayne, I did'nt want to bother him if it was a known issue...the software is awesome, and is working relly well on the XP platforms. If he sees this email and can point me in the right direction thats cool. ;) Cheers mate, Andrew

Hi Guys, I have the Brultech ECM1240 installed and experimentally charting our 240VAC 80A incoming supply and a 20A subpanel supply. It works tremendously well and when coupled with Tenholde's excellent tenecmserver application it is a great addition to my home automation and monitoring setup...

Hi guys, You may have read on these forums about the problems I have had with my ECM1220.h unit. The unit itself actually performs well, but due to a USB fault, it has never been able to reliably communicate with my Automation PC. The fact that I am in Wellington, New Zealand (east of...

Unfortunately I share a similar experience, both with connectivity issues with the ECM unit and with support from Brultech. I have not heard from Paul since August the 24th when he assured me they would help with the issue I have had since January this year. Anyway, I don't want to complain in...
