Maplin So Called Tech Support

Ha, what tech support?
Have been no use at all, read first my comments below and then the footnote below it about maplin support
_______________________________________________________________
I PURCHASED A PORTMAN A65HB MYSELF ON WEDNESDAY 09/07/08, AFTER LOOKING AT THE SO CALLED INSTRUCTION BOOK, AND REALISING THAT THE WIRING DIAGRAM NEEDS A BRAIN SURGEON TO WORK IT OUT, I THOUGHT “MY GOD” WHO ON EARTH DID THESE INSTRUCTIONS BECAUSE THEY NEED SHOOTING AND PUTTING OUT THERE MISERY LOL.

I AM HAVING PARTICULAR TROUBLE UNDERSTANDING THE RELAY THAT HAS THE YELLOW AND GRAY WIRES GOING TO IT, I MEAN WHAT GOES WHERE POS NEG ECT, IT’S TERRIBLE.

ANY WAY I FITTED IT AND GOT IT WORKING BUT NEEDS TO BE FINISHED OFF BUT WITH OUT THE INFO I AM STRUGGLING LIKE MAD.

FOOTNOTE:

I MAILED MAPLIN SUPPORT 2 TIMES AND HAVE HAD NO REPLY AT ALL, PERHAPS THEY DON’T KNOW EITHER LOL.

BUT THEN MAPLIN DID REPLY GOOD I THOUGHT, O DAM ITS NOT SO GOOD IN FACT A WASTE OF TIME

HAD 2 REPLY'S FROM MAPLIN SAYING THAT THE MANUAL ON THIS ALARM IS CORRECT AND THEN PROCEEDING TO INSULT MY INTELLIGENCE BY TELLING ME IF I AM STRUGGLING TO TAKE IT TO A AUTO- ELECTRICIAN, (HAY MAPLIN HELLOOOOOO”” THAT WOULD DEFEAT DOING IT MYSELF ROFL). “”:woowoo:

WELL I AGREE THE MANUAL IS UTTER RUBBISH.

JUST THOUGHT I WOULD LET YOU GUYS KNOW

JUST THOUGHT I WOULD LET YOU GUYS KNOW THAT DESPITE MAPLINS SO CALLED TECH GUYS SAYING I DONT KNOW WHAT I AM DOING, I HAVE WORKED IT OUT HOORAY....

TURNS OUT THE DIAGRAM IS CORRECT ITS JUST NOT PRINTED CLEAR, I WILL BE TRYING IT OUT DURING THE WEEK AND I WILL LET YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO WHEN I HAVE TESTED IT OUT.

HOWEVER THE GRAMMA IN THE MANUAL LEAVES A LOT TO BE DESIRED:fluffy:

Update
Well im posting again, don’t know why because it looks like no body reads the post anyway.

O well I will post anyway.

Maplin have contacted me back today (16/07/08) and told me there engineers have set one of these alarms up on the bench and can not get it to work either, and there are going to mail the makers and ask them for better instructions and diagram

Hope to have more news by the end of the week
