| Since we seem to be sharing experiences lately here is another one of
mine.
|
| Took a sub-contract job yesterday to a local chain store.  Before I went I
| checked on line to see what kind of store it was.  It seems that this
store
| just opened last week.  So I called back to guy that is sending me out to
| troubleshoot some problems with a couple of doors.
|
| He said yes it is a new store.  I said why not have the installer fix the
| problems???  He says that the guy is now on vacation.  Sooooooo Ok I will
go
| and take care of the problem.  Or so I thought.
|
| Arrived on site and asked for the manager.  Manager takes me to the back
of
| the store to the keypad at the delivery door.  The system is a Vista 20
with
| 32 hardwired zones by the way.  The keypad is beeping and a zone is
showing
| up "Check".  Manager says how do you stop that from beeping.  I say well
the
| "problem" with the door has to be fixed for it to stop.  So I look at the
| zone list which says zone 32 is the SW Emergency Exit Door.  I say we are
at
| the SW of the building.  She says we have figured out that this door is
Zone
| 1 and it is marked NE Emergency Exit.
|
| I start look at the zone list and nothing makes any sense.  Then I opened
| the panel and found a full  D-Size drawing of the building and it had Zone
| Number marked on it for each door.  So I figured that there must be a bad
| door contact on the NE Emergency Exit Door.  I go check and found that the
| installer used One-Way Security Screws.  I can't even jump out the door
| contact to verify the problem without drilling out the screws.
| Geeeezzzzzzzz!!!!
|
| That is when I called the Alarm Company.  After I explained the BIG issue
| with the definitions on the zone list.  The project manager said well if
you
| hold that plan with the ledger at the bottom North is at the top and South
| is at the bottom.  You should be able to locate the zones from that.  Are
| you freaking nuts????????????????
|
| You have this customer of yours rather upset with their NEW alarm panel
| because they can't figure out what door is what.  This is going to take
some
| time to fix.
|
| Long story (sorry) now shortened.  They decided that I was going to charge
| them too much and wanted me to leave and they will have the original
| installer go there when he gets back from vacation and fix the problems.
|
| OK so I'm outta
| here..................................................................
|
| Oh and the Check issue is because they programmed the doors for Trouble
Day
| and Alarm Night.  They were reluctant to change the program.
|
| Now all they have to do is pay my Invoice when it arrives.
|
| Later all,
|
