Intruder Alarms

Hi, I am thinking about buying a Le Sucre alarm system. I am discouraged to buy a professionally installed system because of the high maintenance charges. Is the installation of the Le Sucre system straightforward enough for a member of the public to install? I have some technical knowledge so it would help if you could highlight any specific challenges. Many thanks.

I have a Visonic Powermax Wireless Alarm system installed. After changing the batteries on some of the PIR sensors, the system keep calling me at random saying "tamper alarm". Can somebody please advise how to clear all of the error messages so the system stops calling me.

I built my house 17 years ago with a wired alarm system. The six core wiring is inside the wall panels etc. Over the years I have replaced a couple of PIRs etc but now some of the other components are starting to fail (e.g. some parts of the LED displays do not show etc). I was looking to use the existing wiring and replace the control panel, two keypads and the external siren with the following: ADE Honeywell Accenta Mini Gen4 with LED Keypad Secware 12v 0.8A/h Value Alarm Battery (assuming the Mini Gen4 does not include a battery) ADE Honeywell LCD Keypad for Optima / Accenta Control Panels Honeywell ActiveGuard AG6 External Siren Blue. Inc White Cover Is this feasib…

Hi Guys, I recently bought a Visonic Powermax Express as a replacement panel for my PowerMax Pro - after 6 years it decided to give up the ghost. Anyway, GSM Network is pretty weak in my village - I'm getting it sorted BUT I can't seem to set my system with the fault? I could with my PowerMax Pro, it'll still set the system, but yet this one won't? Am I missing something? The system currently says NOT READY and looking in the trouble log, it says GSM Network Failure. No other faults. Any advise would be a great help? Regards, Michael

I can quick arm by pressing the Area button on the way out. I can also quick part arm by pressing eg 1 then Part or 2 then Part. This is all great and makes it very convenient to use. But.... If the system has been set to part arm overnight, someone comes downstairs and unarms it by typing user code. Then we leave the house and press Area to quick arm whole house. The system seems to "remember" that the last arming was part arm, and so even though we press Area for whole arm, it then sets a part arm. Pressing Reset a couple of times before Area seems to do the trick but is a pain when you forget. Maybe there is an option that I can't see in the prog…

I recently purchased a Honeywell galaxy G2K3WR-01-C and ADE Honeywell 8IR103 PIR. I require some technical support for wiring the Activ8 detector (ADE Honeywell 8IR103 PIR). I have the usual manual which comes with the panel and the detector but it is not that clear. I am simply putting one detector per zone and resistors at the detector end. I which to know where the resistors are actually connected to and where cables are connected to. Would you be able to assist please? Also, can you advise what speech dialler would I need for this system please ?

Hi my name is Jack, and I live and work in Finland. Finland is home to the Abloy un-pick-able un-bump-able lock, secure doors that open towards you and triple glazed windows. it also has a very low crime rate however crime is on the rise. And robbery is happening but still it seams no one here has home alarm systems! With a secure property why need one right?? ..... wrong Most people here have summer houses, log cabins in the woods often 100s of km from there home. These summer houses are often near lakes with no one else permanently living close by and a lot of Fins have motorboats or kayaks, bicycles and many other summer toys and nice things that they keep …

I Purchased a Galaxy Dimension panel last week. It didn't come with an installation or programming manual.I have found some information on line. But need a few answers if possible. What are the external bell box connections? What are the internal sounder connections? I have the system operating with a few detectors and the system has 1 fault which is because it does not have a telephone connection. Can this facility be turned of as I don't need this facility at the moment? If not what is the best way to clear this fault so the system has no faults and is usable.

I need Reed switch for a motorized door shutter to detect if it is closed properly. What model do you suggest?

Hi, I am looking for a simple wired system with maybe one detector and two sounders, one v loud. Please say what you suggest.

Hello, The LEDs have stopped working on my Novagard 6 bell box, the siren is working fine though. The user guide talks about spare led holders but not sure if the bell came with spare LEDs in these holders. Can I buy spare LEDS? Tried google and did not find anything related yet. I am not sure if there would be spare in the bell box so thinking of buying them before I climb up the ladder and open the bell box. Any help advise would be high appreciated. Thanks

I am interested in a small home alarm with following function: Hybrid base unit with backup battery and communicator that can send alarm to my cellphone trough GSM mobile phone network, working in Sweden.

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

I am contacting you regarding this product because we have the same products in our house they work superb and I was hammering something in behing one of the sensors and it now just shows up on the alarm system as fault on landing so can you give us any suggestions as to what to do ? Thank you

I have an old, but fully functional wired system. It is an Accenta G8 panel. I want to add a zone using a wireless PIR I have seen the Texecom compact W-series on your website. Does this come with a receiver that wires into the existing panel? Will it work with my existing panel??

My alarm installer went missing last year and has left me with an alarm system that doesn't seem to be operating smoothly. He left me an engineers installation manual but the grandmaster code he wrote down doesn't work. So I took the panel off the wall and carried out the steps detailed in the Agility 3 manual page 17. When reconnecting power it makes the panel announce a tamper error and refuses to do anything on the keypad. Putting DIP switch 3 back in to the on position stops the errors but wont let me change PIN codes in the grandmaster menu. So i'm stuck at the moment.... what's the missing steps to complete a reset and change of the enginee…

I have a Scantronic 9651 bought from you a few years ago. It's worked fine till the PA alarmed the other morning for no reason - i.e. it wasn't pressed. I put a new battery in it Feb 2014, probably the last time I opened it up. When I put the engineer's code in, in order to open up the PA to check it, rather than going into engineer mode it said "User code reqd". Odd?! Anyway, I then put the User Code in and it said "Set". This is not normal behaviour - any ideas? Thanks,

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.

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.

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?

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?

The chime that comes from the KP250 keypad is pitiful, even on max setting its only just audible if your in front of it. I cant see anything in the documentation that says the indoor siren can be used as as a chime speaker. Please can someone confirm if this is possible?
