I’ll look into the noise issue. It’s important to me that the trailer is as quiet as possible.

also to munipulate a contact wont work, once the contact is breached it sends and alarms -- sending a closed contact or a keyfob signal at that point doesnt matter - central monitoring is already calling the cops

But what if you had maybe an external radio module on the flipper that has more powerful TX/RX or some RTL SDR hooked up to a laptop? Surely then you could be farther away and still be able to intercept it.

What about it?

Nothing haha I’m using this video for a school project so I was keeping a spot in the video I wanted to use

👍🏻

I know there’s another variation of that machine that can plug directly into the phone line itself and has a flashing light for when the line rings. Other than that, not sure about “newer” tty machines. They’ve probably gone obsolete due to smart phones already having TTY capabilities built in.

@@NM_Tech The problem is, when I tried the RTT feature out with someone different's iPhone (RTT was enabled), it didn't function for the other end. Do I need to specify the Relay Number on both ends (being 7-1-1) or just on my Phone? Or is it just not working from iPhone to iPhone on newer iOS 18 Versions? Or related to my Austrian Carrier...?

Try calling some other phone with your tty function turned on and see if you hear the tones coming out the other end when you type.

@@NM_Tech It is not possible. After e-mailing my (Austrian) Carrier this function somehow is still not in operation (but our service for that nation-wide started 2012!!!). It is time to switch to a more modern one. Thanks for me helping out!

As far as I know, for these machines, only flashing lightbulbs were the only other way to get your attention.

Just go to the hardware store and get a male to female extension cord. Then cut off the female end and follow these steps.

@@NM_Techthank you

@@NM_Techwhich store did you do?

The hardware store. No specific one.

The tty machine does not do the dialing. Unless it’s a model that can plug directly in the the phone line. But not this specific model. As far as your concerned with this model, it doesn’t matter what phone you use with it.

It’s 8 and 9. Reference the schematic.

If you’re just running a phone cord directly to the panel and bypassing the RJ31x, then sure.

@@NM_Tech but noting happen when i test dial 1234 5 1, just test it progress 5 minutes and more and no sound, is there something i missed? Because i only enter *41 mycellular phone * just that, or is there any program must be actived?

I assume that your cell phone rings but it’s just silence. This panel can’t just directly call your phone and you get reports that way. It has to hear the tones of a central station receiver for it to transmit data.

I don’t know the answer to that question, as this video does not pertain to that.

If it uses landline, then follow these steps.

@@NM_Tech ive followed your steps but it wants to stay on the same line instead of getting the phone line first completely

@@fasttrackstormcenter please feel free to join the discord linked in the description for troubleshooting more in depth

@@NM_Tech i just now joined. my name is mason willetts

For that question to be answered, you need to watch the video.

@@NM_Tech ok, and btw, can I say the communicator to my phone number and not the dispatch center?

Not with this communicator. It will only report to an alarm receiver like they have at monitoring stations. So unless you have one, it won’t work. It will dial, and when you pick up it will just be silence because it doesn’t hear the alarm receiver tones. Then it will hang up and just keep calling your number over and over again until it eventually just gives up.

@@NM_Tech oh ok

Class A is pretty identical to this, except instead of the circuit ending at the last device, you run wire looping back to the panel going into the A+ and - terminals.

@@NM_Tech ok

It needs 24v battery backup. So you’ll need either one 24v battery or 2 12v. Brand doesn’t matter.

@@NM_Tech ok

What speaker strobe? Make/model?

@@NM_Tech There are 2 Gentex sspk24wlpw and sspk24clpw and there is 22 all together

read their manuals. If you don’t have a paper copy then look it up online.

@@NM_Tech It still doesn't tell you how to wire it in to the fire control panel that's why i am here strobes and horns are no problem but i have never had to do speakers.

Glad you enjoyed.

Probably the TTY translation saying it’s not in service.

Glad to have helped.

Glad to have helped.

Yes. And the RJ31X gets wired in before any other telephone box on the line, in terms of order.

Glad you enjoyed.

Thanks, will do!

It’s a Cisco 7841 VoIP phone. The phone is not paired to the panel. The panel reports to a central station receiver as if it’s hooked up to real monitoring service. But the panel and central station receiver are on a privately controlled phone network in which I had partial control over. When the panel signals the receiver to do “listen in” the receiver then routes the call somewhere else. At a real monitoring station, the call would usually be routed to a live operator at the station. But on this private phone network we had control over, the call was routed to a different phone extension outside the location where the receiver is. In this case, my Cisco phone.

I’m not sure how DMP wireless devices work or how high security they are. It would be interesting if you can use your flipper to find out .

Any alarm system can get cut from central station

Even hard wire

We’re not talking about cutting it off from the central station. This is about bypassing wireless zones. And depending on how the wireless zones are configured, it could bypass the system altogether

Glad you enjoyed.

I might have actually figured it out. I just realized I don't have my backup battery installed yet (it hasn't arrived yet). Do you think that's the cause?

Check sirens manual to check what voltage it needs and double check what wires go where

@@NM_Tech Okay, will do. Thank you.

@@views40I’m not sure if you’re still following this comment thread or not. If you are, have you resolved this?

@@NM_Tech - Hey NM, thanks for the follow up. Yes, I got resolved. There was actually a resistor (it wasn't 2k... it was like 820 ohms, or something like that) that needed to be inside the siren. Once put in place, the buzzing went away. Thanks!

The Honeywell 4219 zone expander for the vista. Or use a zone doubling kit(two different value resistors).

@@NM_Tech - Okay, awesome! Which would you think is easier for a 1st-timer? And where do you recommend buying gear (like panel, motion sensors, fire, keypads, etc.) I prefer higher quality equipment over budget-friendly equipment. Thanks!

Honeywell equipment is solid quality and more easier to work with than some others. DSC would probably be higher quality equipment but as far as I know, not as easy to learn especially if you’re just beginning. I would recommend the Honeywell Vista 20P or similar models(15P, 10P, 21IP) as I worked with in this series of videos. Usually eBay you can get this equipment new or second hand for decent prices.

To add on, I’m sure you could even get some DSC sensors and still wire it up to a Honeywell panel. Conventional hardwired devices like those would work with any conventional hardwired panel.

@@NM_Tech - Love it, thanks so much! Super helpful! I'm using your videos + ChatGPT + like 50+ other tabs to do supporting research. I think leaning full Honeyell is likely the best route based and what you said. I think a 21P panel is a solid choice. I might hire a local installer to teach/install with me. That would be the best for learning. Do you have any recommendations for connecting the 21P to HomeAssistant?

Thank you! Please feel free to check out the Security System wiring tutorial series playlist as linked in description!

@@NM_Tech Will do! Thanks very much :-)

@@NM_Tech - Hi NM, do you offer any consulting help? I'm looking to get into building my own DIY alarm system (and I have a bunch of 22/4 AWG wiring in the house) and I'd love some help putting together the initial hardware. Cheers.

I would say the best consulting is still the playlist I mentioned earlier.’

@@NM_Tech - Okay, will do. Thank you for the reply.

Glad to have helped.

They use satellite communication to make and receive phone calls. That’s why they’re expensive to use.

As per the description, this panel required it at the end of the class B circuit. If I didn’t have it, the devices on the SLC circuit would not work and the panel would throw off a trouble stating it’s missing .

@@NM_Tech ok.

Glad to help

More to come!
