Re: Ademco 50P - Unable To Disarm

I just posted a reply to James Barnes in re "contact / electrical"
rating.  When I got back online I saw there were two more responses.

It is good to know the heats and waterflow draw nothing.

Yes, this is the NY brownstone.

If you are in New York, I may take you up on your offer.  Or perhaps
you know someone in this area who is truly competent and would be
willing to come into this situation.

I would really like to finish this myself, however, since I seem to be
so close.  Taking your suggestion re 2 amp secondary power supply, I
will research and check with the local suppliers for same.  Earlier
AlarmSaf  and Altronics (Australian?) were suggested so I will look for
these in particular.

Right now most of the expanders get their power from the loop extender
which, in turn, gets its power via a DC transformer just as the panel
does.  I gather I will be replacing the loop extender with the new (2
amp) power supply.

Thanks.
