Security Lighting

Have just installed a 4 zone controller, DygiZone (GJD910) and expansion panel (GJD040) with 7 Mini Opal external PIRs (GJD 332). During the installation and initial setting of the PIR’s I had to remove each cover several times. Some of the PIR’s retained their Hex retaining screw with a plastic washer but quite a few them fell out. Inevitably with such a small screw I managed to lose 2 of them. Is it possible to get hold of replacement screws and washers through security warehouse? If not do you have the specification? I could do with at least 6. I have also recorded a voice message for each lighting zone but the quality of the recording isn’t very good. Sounds like …

I have a security light with chime alarm.My plug in alarm has stopped working.It looks looks identical to your model TLRXC1. My alarm has the type No BQ-RF-PTC-RX-W, 433MHz stamped on the back. I wish to buy a replacement alarm, my question is, will your model TLRXC1 work as a replacement alarm?.

I have a Racalite Light control system running 4 external lights via 4 sensor heads. The sensor heads are the type supplied with a Guardall Excalibur system. I am looking to obtain 2 replacement sensors capable of operating on the current system. Specification of current sensor heads is: Power: 10-16v dc Temp range: -20 to +55C Steering Adj: +/-90deg horizontal +10 to -50deg vertical IP rating: IP55 Detection range: 17m 100deg field of view. Can you supply 2 suitable sensor heads? If so how much?

I have a security lighting system fitted with an 1803. The signal to turn on the lighting is taken from an infra red beam and sensor set up acrosss our drive so that when the beam is broken the light comes on. To prevent the light coming on in the daytime, there is a PIR wired up to only provide the 1803 with a photocell reading - i.e. it isn't used to detect motion. In additon there is a buzzer and control switch in the form of the 1809. The photocell element stopped working about a year ago, meaning the light would come on in the daytime. Now the 1803 has stopped working correctly as the light will not go out and the buzzer only works intermittantly. I am go…

Hi, I notice on the website that you sell spare Covers for the GJD Opal PIR detectors, and I'm trying to find out if the covers fit all Opal detectors or just recent ones ? I've three detectors that have been in use for around 12 to 15 years, which I'd like to get some spare covers for. I don't see any model numbers on the detectors or their original packaging, other than the words "GJD OPAL" on the PIR PCB.

My problem concerns our home security lighting system. We have two floodlights, two PIR's and an internal control panel. The control panel inside says GJD Sapphire MkIII. After several years of faultless use it has now gone wrong. Sometimes the lights only flash, sometimes they are ok. I think it is either one of the two PIR's giving a faulty signal (with the other still ok hence it sometimes works) or the timer in the control panel. I tried altering the time on this and they seem to stay on longer when they do work, but usually they only flash. Should I change one of the PIR's or what. I really would like to talk to a real person!

1. How can I choose between the vast number of Floodlights available, across an extraordinary price range ? My preferences are speed of ignition, lower brightness, lower energy, smaller size, weatherproofness, longer life and allows connection to two PIRs. Any choice suggestions ? 2. How can I wire this Floodlight to two PIRs (one inside, one outside my front door) to ensure it lights before I tackle the front steps from either direction.

I have a number of lighting sensors on our house and one of them seems to have stopped working (they've been in place since '99). Do I need to replace the whole sensor or just the bit inside?

Hi I just bought the above unit....do I need another piece of equipment to operate this unit as I was under the impression that this unit had a light incorporated and was an all in one unit....is it just a sensor and do I need to fit another piece of equipment, if so what??

Hi. I'm looking to buy the Genie IR lights on an ongoing basis for various projects as they come up for us (eg product no. 13/24. I will often be looking to run them off a 12V DC supply. Can you recommend the appropriate power adaptor please?

I am looking at controlling 2 outdoor PIRs and lighting as 2 seperate zones. I notice that you have the emerald unit and the Voltek unit. I have the following questions: 1. will the units work with any manufacturer of PIR (12v) and lighting? 2. Do you stock the 'GJD base 2' which is required for the emerald unit? I notice you stock 4 zone expansion unit (GJD040). 3. Can you tell me what I would require for the Voltek 2 Zone systemas well as the TZX command centre? 4. do you have a general schematic for a 2 zone simple system? Thanks in advance.

Hi I bought a system from you last month and have now installed it. I bought a GJD digizone controller, 4 way expansion unit and Mini Opal pir's. The system often works well but every now and then a red led flashes inside the pir's and the system dies. It sometimes dies for minutes or hours then seems to reset and come back on. Do you have any idea what causes this?

Sales can you please source and add the GJD910W to your web site?

Hi I have just installed an emerald mk 3 and 3 opal xl sensors on one of the zones controlling the lights. Can someone please explain why 2 of the sensors work ok and turn the lights on but the other sensor doesnt turn the lights on but it is picking the movement as I have the audible tone on aswell. Should the tone work at night aswell as turning the lights on?? Thanks

I was lookiat your Voltek Single Zone Control Unit - 1803. Would this allow me to run 5 security lights via parallel cabling into this unit and if one light activates then they would all activate at the same time? If not do you have such a set up that would so this? Also could youy advise on whether each light would need an individual PIR or could i install sensor(s) into the loop that would cause full activation of all the lights at once? Cheers Johno

Have just received a number of GJD Mini opal PIR's and in each box is a bag containing 4 plastic items. No where in the instructions does it refer to these parts as far as I can see. They do seem to fit in the hole in the back of the sensor where the tamper switch is. There are 3 similar part each with a different length. They may be to waterproof the device but it's not obvious. The fourth piece I've no idea where it's meant to go.

One of your Opal XL products was installed yesterday as a replacement . The new product switched on automatically in response to movement after dark but the lights remained on and would not then switch off automatically. 1 Is there a control device on the unit for managing the time that the lights are activated or can you suggest another solution please. 2 Do you have an installation schematic for the product ?

I'd be most grateful for your assistance. I have a GJD security light system which was installed by the previous owners of our house approximately 8 years ago. It is installed in two separate circuits for the front and rear of the house. The front system is still working properly but the rear system with three flood lights started to work in the day time as well as the evening but now has a random fault so more than often it doesn't react at all in the day or evening to intruder testing and only occasionally works properly. The lights all work when I over-ride the sensors to switch them on. I am assuming, rightly or wrongly, that one or more of the three sensors i…

I recently purchased from you a Solitaire 4 zone controller with relevant PIR's etc. My customer then wanted a buzzer for each zone to sounder should anyone approach the property, I wired this in to complete the job. Now he has requested a similar install for a friend of his. Having looked at the property, they simply have a front & rear to protect. Currently there is a standalone 500w pir flood to front & rear and all the customer wants is an external audible warning when someone approachs to try to deter possible burglars. Can you suggest a simply system?

CAN THIS BE USED OUSIDE TO CONTROL TWO OUTSIDE LIGHTS?

Just been to look at a fault - PIR sensor controlling one bulkhead light, and, it seems, some kind of automatic door bell. PIR unit has the following info - There's no Brand label. 'Live carrier Unit'. Type PRI Q18T 6220 G3. Max load 1200W Basically, the bulkhead light won't switch off once the PIR unit switches it on, and the doorbell won't stop chiming! I'm not sure how the doorbell thing is controlled - All there is, is a white plug-in box (looks like a Mains adaptor) which you can plug in anywhere in the house, so I am guessing there's some wireless involved. There must be some kind of carrier signal being triggered into the mains when the PIR…

I was dissapointed to find the Bosch blueline range were not suitable for outdoor use as I have request for a backdoor light in a rural environment where bats birds and badgers roam freely. Does anyone know of an equivalent product product without getting into expensive wireless systems? The other problem is that I would need either two of these units or one that would have a wide enough angle to operate on a corner

Hi, I have a GJD emerald mk3 system with 3 sensors and 3 lights and I hope somebody can tell me why the lights are coming on in daylight. Nothing has been changed on the system and for about the last 3 months they have been plying about!!! The system is quite a few years old now and I was wondering if the opal sensors or the main panel should be replaced. Thanks Steve

i have a 2 zone touch control 12v 120ma power supply unit with the code gjd exp mk4 printed on the board, it is only putting out 4/5 volts do you have these in stock. thanks Carl
