  5. I need help please. Bought a A083-00-01 Ethernet module off ebay (yes silly idea) to install into a FX020 install I've just completed. Module has no status LEDs and the system does not see it. Before I order a new one from SW, can anyone tell me if I'm missing something? I would have thought the module would flash an LED even with no connection to the main board with power applied. I'm sure it is dead. Any advice much appreciated, thank you

  7. I have a PowerMAx complete wireless alarm system installed in the house. I was wanting to add an additional wireless siren (the system can handle a maximum of 2). I already have the MCS -740 wireless alarm and was hoping to purchase the wired version of this alarm, the MCS-730AC. Can you check for system compatibility. The version number of the panel is: JS702159 B.17.107 JS700421 V.1.0.02

  9. Have Gardtec 350 panel which requires a closed tamper circuit. Can you please suggest a suitable relay to use with the mcr-304 to give a NC output.

  10. Hey all, I recently moved out of a house that had a Galaxy G2 system. I have recently bought a Flex 20 for the new house we've just moved to, and everything is now working as expected apart from one thing I can't get my head around. On the old system, we had a Wireless Magnetic Sensor on the front door. This was set up so that when we Full Set the system, that Function was a FINAL zone. If we Night Set (or Part Set), the function was INTRUDER. This meant if the door was opened whilst in Night Set mode, an immediate alarm was triggered. If it was opened during full set, the entry time was triggered. To set this up, we could go into Engineer mode, into the Zone, in…

  11. Hi all, wondering if anyone can help please: I have a wired home alarm system using the Honeywell G2-12 panel. This was an existing wired system and I replaced an old domestic failed panel with a G2-12 panel and MK7 keypad with Keyprox. I now have a programmed up and working inruder alarm system that can be set and unset with users and PIN entry on keypad. I need to have a Prox Tag programmed in so that the system can be unset from Night Set to keep it simple for the wife to unset the alarm without her glasses first thing in the morning as she is normally first to come down - she is long sighted so only needs glasses for reading which she forgets to bring upstairs…

  12. I have a Honeywell ADE Optima Compact Gen4 intruder alarm system and want to add a wired door contact. Will you advise me what to use please.

  13. Started by matt6697,

    Hi, I've never actually used one of these systems before but I've got a work colleague that's recently purchased one from yourself s. three quick questions 1. Is there a cheaper alternative third party keyfob that is compatible with this system that will talk with it, I'm guessing it's probably the same as a Honeywell galaxy g2-20, or visonic powermax where you have to use the manufacture branded keyfobs? 2. If they purchased the WIFI module I understand there's apps available to monitor and control the system remotely but could they also use the apps available for there phone so it works in the same way the keyfobs do?, would this include a simple set/unset …

  14. Can you advise which security panel would be suitable to replace one which has failed? (only lasted 15 years, but sadly now defunct!) This unit has 6 zones (hard-wired) of which I use 4. Anything that offers similar, at least 4 hard-wired + radio to cover areas not currently covered would do. Can you suggest something? I can install it.

    hi, I am looking at the "Takex 20m Ext/40m Int 4 Channel Twin beams inc Pole Clamps" for use on scaffolding and was looking for some advice on suitable keypads and sounders to go along with it looking to buy a whole alarm set pretty ASAP to try with the intention of buying more and any advice would be greatly appreciated.

  16. The Honeywell Galaxy alarm panel has a facility to send text message when alarm is triggered showing which sensors have been activated. If we connect a speech dialer will it disable this text service - To a private number.

  17. Hi, I have a problem with a missing cable. It is the cable between the panel and the GPS/GPRS module. It seems impossible to buy the cable in Sweden. So I have purchased components to make my own cable. But when I looked in the (Swedish) instruction manual it looks like the wires are connected cross-over. (see attached files) Can someone please confirm how the wires should be connected? straight (Example 1 in the attached file) or crossed (Example 2 in the attached file)??

  18. Hi Does anybody know if the external sounder in the Pyronix Enforcer Kit3, ENF/KIT3-UK, needs a power supply? It looks as though it is just battery powered from the description. I know some of the other Pyronix sounders require power when they are lit after dark. Can anyone confirm please? Thanks

    I have a 15 year old Eurosec system that I whish to refurbish/upgrade. A few questions: I have what looks like the CP8L remote pad - is there an better option to replace? Tag compatible? Would you advise replacing the main panel at 15yrs old? I wish to add another remote keypad (garage entrance) and a contact/PIR - best option (remote tag?) Can you recommend replacement PIRs? Is there such a thing as wireless door contact?

  21. Hi there, If I use the Texecom Premier Impaq Plus With Built in Contact, with a Honeywell G4 alarm panel, can I use 6 core cable, or do I need to use an 8 cables to set the contacts up on zone 1, and the shock sensor up on another zone.

  22. I am torn between the Pyronix 46 App, the HKC 1070 and the Texecom Premier systems. I want a hybrid system where I can have mostly wired sensors and outputs but with the potential for a bit of wireless. I'm comfortable with programming reasonably complex panels having done Texecom and Honeywell systems for my families houses. I've read a lot of great things about HKC on a Internet forum but I see you cannot connect the app to the panel without authorisation. Is this true? Can you provide this service?

  23. Hi all, I'm new to the forum, it was recommended by a member on another forum. I was wondering if anyone has a .pdf copy of a veritas r8 installation manual for the pre-1999 models please? We have 2 veritas alarm systems on our house, one was installed in 1995 when the house was built, the 2nd was installed in 2007. I have a manual for the newer system but the older system I believe has different programming codes etc. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Andy

    Having a bit of a nightmare here trying to default the user codes on the Galaxy g2-20 panel, can log in with the engineers code but when I go into the users menu the only code I can change is the engineers code itself. Also been through the engineers manual in detail and theres nothing there. Ive tried a power down and power up method that worked for me before but that doesn't seem to work either. If any1s got any ideas would be a great help cheers
