Intruder Alarms

The latest Dimension Installation Manual (just sent to me by Honeywell) does not mention this portal, but in relation to the RF Rio advises the installer to refer to the instructions that come with the modules. There are no instructions provided with the Portal on registering the devices. The Keypad asks for the serial numbers of the devices, but none of the devices actually identifies any of its numbers as serial numbers. The unique numbers on the D0800M wireless door magnets are too long to be accepted by the keypad. The only numeric-only unique numbers on the DTP18M devices (on a sticky label on the side of the batteries) appear to be accepted but their signals are…

We enter the code and reset only for it to go off again. none of the sensors are lit up (they used to have a red light on them) Please can you help as we are been woken at ridculous times in the night and have 2 young children !

I have a Securit 800L+ alarm panel. Fitted by the housebuilder. I need to remove the alarm panel for building work. It would appear the siren is a Self Contained Bell or a Self Activating Bell. When I disconnect the mains and the internal 12v lead acid battery the siren goes off. Would keeping the siren -Ve and +Ve at 9v to 12v keep the siren from sounding.? I have the installation manual for the alarm but I do not have any details of the siren box fitted.

Hi folks, What size battery would I need for the above Panel? What Texecom smoke detector would you recommend for use in a house? What surface mount door contacts are compatable with this panel? Thanks in advance Chris

Hi, I bought an Optima Compact Gen4 over two months ago. Since then I have been trying to connect it to a bell box from another manufacturer without success. Honeywell technical support simply say that I MUST buy their Reson8 siren! The bell box model is Mars 2000, the instructions and circuitry are attached. I have tried numerous combinations of the panel's A/D/B terminals to the bell's H-/H+/SO terminals but the bell is never triggered by the panel. I know that the bell works because I can manually trigger it by changing the voltage on H+ or H-. Any tips before I give in and buy the Reson8? Thanks...

I am having problems with my scantronic intruder alarm system, and is having problems to find some one in my area to fix it. Would you have a list of repaires in my area which is in upper edmonton London N18. Thanking you Michael

Hi, I've been looking into the Galaxy dimension system for my home for a few reasons, I need to protect the house and two out buildings and I like the IP/GPRS options. Now an oversight on my behalf is the use of RS485 between modules and remote panels, I'm used to systems like the the Honeywell G4. When doing up the house I've used 6 core standard cable, so my problem will be the cable to the remote panel by the front door. The length of this cable is under 10 metres, will I get away with this? As for the 2nd panel upstairs and a powered RIO out in the garage I can easily run cat5 cable. I don't normally ask questions like this but this cable has been run and plastere…

Hi, I wonder if it`s possible to use the kp-160 as a remote keypad for arming/un arming and NOT only for proximity tags (chicklets) to a Powermaster 10? What version is the Powermaster 10? Is it v 15? Because I heard that this is the key to get this working as a numerous keypad. Best Regards Ulf

Hi, I just bought the Honeywell Le Sucre system off you. I would now like to add an external siren for outside of my property, however I can't believe how expensive the SEF8M is at £130 compared to other one's which can be bought for around £30~. Is that literally the only one which will work with my alarm system or do Honeywell/3rd party companies do others?

Hi I have bought a new remote fob for my Scantronic 500r+ alarm system. I have managed to get the system to "learn" the new remote but the new remote will not set my alarm. Can anyone help?

Hi I purchased the above panel recently. The user manual suggests that it can be set up in a way that you only need only press the set button rather than entering the 4 didgit code. I cant see in the engineers manual how to do this. Is this the case and if so how do you set it up. Thanks Jimr

I have a domestic Itec Horizon alarm system with shock sensors wired on every window and door sensors on the front and back door. The systen does not use PIR's. The main Horizon box has developed a fault and I understand these are quite old now and no longer available. Can you tell me what a modern equivalent system is that would be compatible with the existing installation - ie the window and door sensors and the price?

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…

Good Afternoon We have a Scantronic 944ES intruder alarm system, but no manual. I would be very grateful if you could advise me if you are able to supply a manual for this particular model of alarm alternatively where we could get one from. Thank you in anticipation of your assistance Regards Lucy

Is CQR cable worth the extra over ordinary alarm cable?

The Visonic Powerlink which enables internet access for Visonic Powermax alarm seems to be very difficult to get hold of! I see you have it on this website but it is out of stock. Do you know 1) When it will be in stock. 2) Can it be bought without any cameras (sold with one here) as it is quite expensive and I just want to have the internet access. I already have other cameras.

Hello I'm after 3 off Elmdene Panic Buttons, model ELM-PA-G3-W Would securitywarehouse supply these (not current listed stock) , or can you recommend somewhere. Thanks

Hi I recently purchased a communicator from ebay for my scantronic 9448+ panel. I thought it would be easy and it seems simple enough. I read the maunal and it says somethign about a lead being connected onto the board. I should be inside the backbox of the endstation but i dont have one. I spent

When I wire the panel to activate output 1 when a fire alarm is triggered it doesn't seem to work when I activate a fire alarm from a remote keypad. Is the RKP fire alarm different then from a smoke detector?

Can anyone please advise? i have checked manual/interface its daunting i just need to know the basics please, everything is already in place - but .i changed my front door and the door sensor caused an issue/tamper and the alarm wouldnt set, and i made the mistake of resetting the device so i have lost all the devices from the memory thanks

does anybody no the best wireless intruder alarm system out there

I have a client that requires a system with proximity fobs rather than a remote control keyfob. I have been checking existing cabling and conduits in the house and believe that I will be able to hardwire the remote keypads, although I would still like to maintain wireless PIR

Hi, Just to be sure, how do I wire the SECWARE BCINTRA/W/B to the Texecom Premier 88 panel? Like Texecom - Secware 12V + = 12V + 12V - = 12V - Bell - = ? Tamp = ? Strb - = ? Do I need other connections e.a. strobe to 12V+? And do I need to set some settings in wintex to work? Thanks in advance.

i've purchased a Honewell 8EP416-EU to replace the RCP on my C&K Securit 800L. Please would you confirm which connections (COMMS and SOUND) correspond to C and D on the old Securit RCP? Thank you.
