Atlas 1DS-800 security alarm?

Yep can't see any benefits of using this feature for a domestic environment,but commercial, nine to five business with a forgetful manager then maybe.

As said mate I've never used the feature,or given it any thought on seeing it browsing through engineering menu's.

Yep most can auto set Alarm, but as with most options in engineering this feature among others are seldom used.

I'm aware of the auto set feature but I don't know the IDS-800 as such.

I'm only working here from the manual :-0

when I look at a scany keypad and then look at the galaxy there is no doubt wich is the better looking one,in my humble opinon, have never had a scanny keypad fall apart,(cept for that stupid cover on the early 9800 pad ) :-) I still have a new cover some where !!!!!!and I have a 9100 32 years old still in perfect working order !!!the customer want it replaced because,it"dosent go with my new decoration"i put it on a board and wired it up to play with it,(aint I a sad bugger)

Scanny can autoset.
Almost all can.

Seen all makes fall apart. Nothing will beat a 9100 for solidness.
Unfortunately we have to evolve and that means attitudes as well as equipment. IP is going to take us over in the end.
Time to make our retirement plans and let the IT guys fight it out.
Then again we seem to sort them out most of the time so there may be hope. Seems my CaT5e and other terminations fair better than the IT gurus :D


And not a dig at you m8, I was just commenting.
Us "oldies" have to stick together!

Kind regards

I make no assumptions alarm guy I don't use menvier galaxy would not waste my time with them,have ripped a few out though each to his own as they say :-)so you are making large assumptions about me !!!! I have tried some of the galaxy range was not over impressed with them ,cheap looking and shoddy keypads and they fall to bits very easy I will leave them for others to use :-)

Many systems here have timers to auto set.

Menvier Galaxy to name the bigger ones.

Your making large assumptions about some things you are not aware of.

Yep mate but it's a south African panel:),done a bit of digging lol.

Ray press the # key then enter 9999 at the keypad.

Let me no if any LED's light up or change from red to green.

If not mate then it a pro call out unless you try and find the installers manual.

good for you e manno I have never seen or heard of this system,i have seen some computer interfaced systems that set and unset by themselves but they are rather expensive hope you can help this guy ,thank you for your efforts :-)

I've had a look at engineering and guess what gts?,it's in there and this is a new one for me.

It says this auto arm can be programmed by the installer and what I can gather there's no one push button to turn it off.

Ray do you know the engineering code to access the programming?.

Tell you something for nowt as well,seems the engineering code can be locked with a basic command to stop a forced default,only way is with comp and software to unlock.

Ray if you don't know the code then you need an engineer,but reading the book I'd be tempted to buy another system.

Only been in this flat for a week, since day one the alarm has armed its self every night at 11 o'clock pm without fail.If we move around after that time the alarm.Must be a setting on it to auto arm,was needing help on turning this feature off,but thanx all the same.
