Hi there, i bought one of these pirs in my last order. I fit it and was sure it was working but i tested it the other day and it doesnt seem to be working correctly. It does not trigger the alarm, seems that it is permanently closed. Is there something i need to do, ie change the factory settings on the sensor or does it need returning? Regards

I have just completed an instalation of a accenta G4 from yourselves,on powering up i can reset the alarm by entering factory user code but the display on the 2 LCD keypads is all black squares,please can you advise any help checked wiring but all seems correct with panel and both keypads.

My elderly parents have a basic alarm system which has worked perfectly for over 20 years. The control unit has now gone faulty and requires replacement. Could you recommend a replacement unit which only has to cover two PIR zones and one entry/exit. The existing unit is key control under the stairs which is no longer ideal and I would prefer to fit a remote keypad just inside the entrance door. The external box should also be replaced so if you feel a complete kit would be a better deal then if you could recommend one it would be great. I should say that they are now looking to move to a retirement home so the system will probably only have to last them for about a year …

Hi, I have a house and a detached garage, both currently covered by completely separate wired systems. There are separate Bell Boxes, one on the front of the house and one on the garage. As the house system has become faulty, I am about to replace both systems with 1 Homelink 55. I want to continue to have SABs on both buildings (with the flashing LEDs to prove that they're real). I could just power the unit on the garage (no wires other than power connect from house to garage) and hardwire it so that its just decorative, but wanted to have it operational. I've been looking at the information available and am confused. Can I achieve what I want, i.e. remotely tri…

Dear. I try to install KP-250 PG2 to my Powermaster 30. But the cetral unit only say: "Wrong ID". What shall I do?

I have a need to add 2 (ideally 3) door contacts onto a single zone on a texecom premier 48. I have tried putting resistors in each device but this wont work. I have looked in the manual and its not very detailed. It it possible or do i need to buy an expander such as the 8xe? Thanks Eddie

Hello. I am going to buy som Visonic products from this site. Are securitywarehouse selling Visonic 868 Mhz. My current system is a Powermax+ 868Mhz and i want to buy some more Visonic products. Mr Leif Jonsson / Sweden

I have an old, very old alarm system! It uses a 4 wire CCL configuration which operated relays in a hard wired system. I would like to upgrade so that I can update/upgrade with a few more detectors. The Homelink 55 system appears to fit the bill as I reckon I could use it with my existing hard wire detectors and allow me to expand into new areas without doing more hardwiring ( add a few PIR's). As I get my neighbours to check out the house and feed the pets while I am on holiday I like to keep entry/exit operation of the alarm system simple. The question . . . can you utilise keyfobs into the Homelink 55 system giving the custodian a car remote type ac…

I have a Scantronic 9210 Intruder system with a flush fitting keypad in the lounge. I know this panel is obsolete but does anyone know of a panel that offers a flush fitting panel as an option if it dies. The wife's not to keen on a 6" x 9" hole left in the lounge wall $ I.m not keen to redecorate the lounge!!

Hi Could you tell me what passive would replace this one as it has 3 extra connections to the normal 6. These are marked C+ , E- , and FTA. There is a wire looped from the power minus connection to the FTA connection and a brown wire in the cable connected to the C+ connection. What is the purpose of these extra connections ? The reason for replacement is that this passive leaves the led indicator on permanently which doesn't seem correct. I have always used risco quads in my own setup and they seem very reliable. Would one of these fit the bill ? The panel is a Scantronic 9800. Hoping someone can point me in the right direction for a replacement. Thanks in a…

Hello Questions about your kit refered: Visonic-Quick2Fit -Does the panel include the battery (should not, which reference to order). -Same question for the external siren -I can't find any reference for PIR detector from VISIONIC in your catalogue, so don't know which one from your catalogue could be compatible with the panel. Could you please advise (for pet tolerant only). Thanks

Hi, Which version of the Wintex software is it you have for purchase? I have a older copy which does not seem to work properly with a new Premier 48 panel that I have purchased. The version that I have is 5.2 Thanks

My internal sounder registered fine with the domonial control panel, and on viewing through engineering mode always registers a high signal (7/10) However, whenever I set (full or part) the alarm, typically every other time I get the 'INT SOUNDER RADIO LINK' error. I've configured the system to ignore these errors and set regardless without requiring confirmation - but my worry is there is a fault which might mean the sounder does not go off in case of intrusion. Last week I tried changing the batteries (on the off-chance the batteries supplied were low given the packaging was open), but this did not solve the problem. The positioning of the sounder is very cl…

Hi! I bought a Visonic Powermax Plus last week (Thanks SecurityWarehouse !) 1. Is it possible to change Visonic Powermax Plus language ? 2. I've got two balconies : o 2 m x 3 m o 2 m x 6 m What is the best wireless protection for this balconies ? New Optex FTN-R/FTN-RAM ? Do you have other solutions ? Thanks, Jose.

Hi, I am looking for some help and advice with selecting an alarm system for the house I am currently renovating. It is a four bedroom house with an external garage which I would also like protecting. I would prefer a wired system as from my experiences at work, I am not fully convinced of the reliability of wireless technology! I am nearing the first-fix stage so now is the time to start planning the alarm system. I am an industrial electrician and plan to install it myself but I have no prior experience of alarm systems or installation. Here are my thoughts so far: 1.) A colleague recommended Bosch Blue Line BLD-P sensors, what do you guys think? Would one of these…

Hello all, appreciate some help here, i have 4 pir sensors and a ADE Accenta Mini Gen4 panel, how should i wire the pir sensors in series? or should i wire each pir back to the panel? thanks for the advise!

Hi 1. What PIR detectors are included in the Risco Wireless Wisdom Kit? RWT92? 2. Informative stickers (informning the possible burglar of the alarm), are such included or can they be bought separately? 3. Could you give me some advice regarding Risco's Wisdom and the Powermax+? Those are the recommended/approved wireless alams in Sweden but there seems to be quite a difference regarding the price (3PIR, external siren, central unit, 2 keyfob)? Best regards, Jonas

What battery do you recommend for this combination? Does the 9651EN-43 include a speaker? If not can you recommend one? Thanks John

Hi there Sorry for my ignorance.

I just received my Visonic Tower PIR, and I'm nut quite sure it is operation correctly. I installed the PIR as per instructions, about 2,3 meters up and with an angle setting of 5. This should give me at least a +/- 10 meter 90 degrees coverage. While in test mode it already showed "blank" areas where detection failed, and fully operational it will erractically detect motion (I keep in minde the 2 minute reset period after initial motion detection). Sometimes it will only detect motion within a few inches, sometimes not at all. I would be grateful for advice in this matter. Regards,

I am thinking about buying a le sucre alarm system. Could you please advise on the following. 1. Is it possible to set only ground floor sensors at night? 2. Can the system be connected to the phoneline as well as sim? 3. After the two year sim period where would the sim be purchased? Many thanks

We are looking at buying the domonial system, the house is simple enough, requiring a Honeywell domonial wireless 2 PIR kit, an additional PIR, 3 more tags & a wireless siren. We also have two outbuildings that require protecting, the first is approximately 7m from the house (12m from the panel) it will need an internal alarm and 2 PIRs - one at 12m the other at 19m from the main panel, the signal would also have to travel through at least two solid walls, will it do this? There is also a barn some 45m from the panel, this is a bit more complex it will require 1 PIR and a door contact, we need to access it without always turning off the rest of the system and visa ve…
