Intruder Alarms

Today I purchased a copy of Wintex from yourselves. I have downloaded the Wintex zip file multiple times and it will not open. The Zip file is corrupt. I have attempted to open it in 7-zip and Winzip and neither of them will open it. They both say that the Wintex download is corrupt. Please advise as I need to get this open ASAP as I am trying to commission my alarm system.

I would like to replace the motion detector on this very old Scantronic 9200 system. Can you recommend one that is compatible?

I purchased a Veritas Excel panel with LCD keypad (order number 18090). On powering up the system for the first time, the keypad remains blank and does not display any text. The three LEDs on the side are lit and the keypad is illuminated and accepts key presses. Am I missing a configuration step somewhere or is the keypad/panel faulty?

I was thinking of getting a wireless alarm like powermax with a GSM backup (think it is a good feature to get events sent by sms when kids come home from school and so on). Main reason to have a wireless is that it is easy to install. I have a house with 5 rooms on the groundfloor. There are 11 windows and 4 doors. The thing is that I have a dog and a cat. Weight of the dog is 33kg. So the questions are. 1. Are the pet IR detectors reliable? They say up to 38 kg so is should be ok, but want to avoid false alarms. 2. If I want protect all windows, what would be the best method. Switches and vibrations sensors on all? It will be rather expensive... 3. I've r…

Hi All, Fitted my new Scantronic 9448EUR-90 alarm panel. Everything fine. I now want to incorporate a smoke detector into the system(on the landing). Could you please advise me which of your detectors will work with my panel. Thanks, Stevec

I am looking to find the best option for a complex installation. Any expert recommandation on any of the following issues would be very helpfull and highly rewarded! - the system should accomodate wireless outdoor detectors incl. cameras for video/or image transmission to a surveillance company. - the system should be able to accomodate both wireless and wired connections with about 30 wireless units to be connected and be secured against external perturbation and shall be able to trigger a silent alarm in case of outdoor detection (incl. video or transmission to the surveillance company) and a normal alarm in case of indoor intrusion detection (also with indoor vide…

All i need is a powermax Plus panel on its own , i do not want a kit. Can you stock just the panel only?

When will you be able to sell the new MK 8 keypad for Honeywells Galaxy-range?

Hi, Will a Robot vacuum cleaner trigger the alarm? I'm thinking about buying a robot vacuum cleaner but I'm worried that the vacuum cleaner will set off the alarm system. What can I do to avoid false alarms. Is it best to buy pet tolerant movement detectors with dual technology or is it enough with PIR? Or will the alarm go off no matter what kind of movement detectors I use? Best regards Tomas

I have the Honeywell ADE LCD Accenta 4 x Pet PIR Starter Kit, when looking at the instructions, it say the Tamper network should be series connected, if thats the case why is there no single core wire in the kit?

Just bought a eco1002 fire sensor to add to my accenta mini g4 but cant figure what to wire to what Can anyone help pair them up Thanks

I have replaced an old Optima XM6 panel with a new Optima Compact panel The system works fine with program 1 My problem is I cannot get it to part set using program 2 I enter my code, the exit beep starts, but when I press the PROG key, the exit tone, that should stop, keeps going, so I can't get to select program 2 Tried reset to factory defaults but it did not help Thanks

Hi, Perhaps I could ask your advice as to what alarm system I should install. Firstly I should point out that I am a chartered instrumentation engineer so am used to dealing with complex wired and programmable systems - provided that the appropriate instructions are available to me. I have a three bed property which is in a rural location. The village that I live in has been subject to a recent spate of breakins and alarm systems are springing up all over. My priorities are 1) To discourage a burgalr to even attempting a breakin. 2) Should he attempt a breakin to alarm at the earliest possible opportunity preferably before he has actualy gained access. I …

I purchased a galaxy kit in January, just getting round to installing it. The manual doesn't tell you the engineer code, is there anyway of setting it when you first boot it or is there a master code I need to carry out the install. If so could you send me the code? Thanks,

When trying to leave engineer mode keypad says: CHECKING FOR TAMPERS 1 mod tampers KEYPAD 010 So I can´t leave engineer mode. There is no battery installed in central panel. Connection is: RIO (nothing connected yet) - Central Panel - Keypad MK8 - RIO (with 1 detector) 1. What is wrong? 2. Maual says 10 Ah and 17 Ah battery. Is it ok tu usa a 7 Ah battery?

Trying to install Honeywell AG6 to Galaxy Flex Panel. There is no instructions for Galaxy flex, but forGalaxy 2 series it says: TR- to T (I put this to T-) V- to 0V ST- to "Any Output programmed as Bell#" V+ to +12V S- to "Any Output programmed as Bell" Both ST- and S- to output bell? Same bell output? Or how should I wire?

Some say that you should avoid to direct detectors against windows. Is that correct? I´m going to use Bosch Blue Line Gen 2 Pet Friendly detectors. But maybe I don´t use the pet-mode, beacuse I don´t need to do it right now. But if it do it safer against false alarms, pointing detector againt windows, I will.

I'm look for some shock sensors (to be fitted to window frames) preferably wired and that work with DSC PC range. I was looking at the Aritech GS612 but I've not had much joy with it albeit the door sensor with magnet works fine.

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 there i recently purchased some optex -70 sensors from yourself for replacement of the obsolete optex 100 plus ones. On going to install them I found that the old ones have more wires eight as the new 70 ones only have six. So I was looking to see if there is a way to convert the old ones to the new

Does anyone have experience with the Vanderbilt SPC 4320 intruder alarm? I am wondering, if I can wire, mount and program the system by myself - or it requires a professional installer and/or software? Best regards Erik
