    Ctec fire alarm not lit up at all

    Hi, I have a ctec fire alarm, I think it's bi wire. There are no lights apart from the one on the power supply. I'm puzzled as it seems it just not be getting power but the call point lights up when pressed. Should I just replace the whole panel or replace the power supply first? Thanks

    My day 3: build a gsm monitor/alarm for a pump house

    Seems to be working ok, as in texting and calling. The mains relay's I have used are getting too hot, seems that the led resistor is of the wrong value so are dissipating too much heat. Have started to do it another way for the mains monitoring.
