House alarms

I found it ... it has 2 keypads.

Awesome

The quickest test would be to take one of the resistors (3.3k) and insert it between Z4 and C (common) ... if the light still flashes ... the board could be damage.

if not ... it could be that there is a problem with the wire or the device.

do the same to zone 8.

the best advice I can offer is for you to find a friend who knows an alarm tech who does side line work ... he must be familiar with the caddy NX system otherwise he is gonna waste your time and money ... it could be why the alarm tech who offered to "replace you system didnt offer to fix it.

Depending which company you use ... ADT for example use the IDS ... Blue security use the Risco system.

the caddy NX system was a good system back in its day ... so is the Paradox and the Texecom

The problem is the alarm industry is a real cut throat business.

I decided to go with the IDS system ( locally manufactured and have the best support team) ... done all the training on the IDS system and have a full 64 zone system in my house and a test rig on my office wall ... I also have all the equipment to setup and monitor the systems.

Hi Ian, I sent you a PM but have not heard back from you.

I may be interested in your old system you located. I managed to track down the guy that originally installed my alarm. He will test the system for me next week and advise what needs repair.
