Intruder Alarms

Hi I have an accenta mini g4 hard wired 4 PIR and exit door magnet my panel shows unset when I enter my code zones 1 6 7 8 light up and I have to omit these zones and press the tick to set the alarm which means the entry/exit is omitted I do not have any tamper wires connected to the PIR or door or the panel the only tampers that operate are the bell box and panel cover. the alarm works fine when the zones are omitted Can anyone tell me why zone 1 keeps lighting up and showing alarmed as this is the entry/exit please help!

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

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.

Hello I have an Ademco Vista, I need to replace it. We have a 4 bed house, probably about 7 PIR's. What kind of system can I put in to replace it? I'm not sure what type the bell box is, maybe you can deduce that from the panel name. Currently connected to the Vista is receiver and speaker which is used with a IR/Radio keyfob to arm/disarm. Ideally we'd like to replace that with a similar system, and additionally put in a dialler. Regarding diallers, is there a DECT version, our phone line is not next to the panel? Cheers Andrew

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 …

hi, i have a 595 keypad that the fobs have stopped working (code numbers ok) ,that i installed 3 months ago,how do i go about replacing, do i need to buy a spare one, then ask for a refund on the old one , thanks

Hi all, I fitted the above about 6 months ago, the following is the setup: GD-48 3x MK8 Keypad's 1x External powered RIO Handful of PIR's Handful of G3 door mags Elmdene bell box Ethernet Module for Self Mon All has been working excellently up until today, the alarm put out a tamper so all 3 keypads were beeping constantly, upon me trying to input a user code or the manager code not 1 of the keypads would accept any key presses. While this is ongoing randomly on different keypads the static white LED would flash rapidly, also the beeping would stop altogether then start again. I eventually managed to get into the system using the manager code to…

Hi - wonder if anyone can help ? Just fitted this system - all is well, except I want to be able to set a chime against a zone when the system is in set mode. No problem setting a chime against a zone when unset but there doesnt appear to be an option to apply a chime to a zone when set. Is there anyway of doing that ? Regards

We have purchased 4 x Texecom 3D PETWISE and 4 x Texecom 3D Quad PIRs (order number 22362) and we are in the process of installing the PIRs. All the PETWISE PIRs are working fine but only 1 out of 4 3D Quad PIRs are working. The 3 3D Quads don't have the LED lighting up when 12V DC power was applied. The LED jumper is ON but none of the 3 works. 3 failures out of 4 is pretty poor quality control. One of the three failed 3D PIRs bodies has been installed on the wall. Please advise if there is anything else that we need to check before returning them for warranty replacement.

Having searched numerous forum posts I'm at a total loss, so I thought I'd try asking... I have a Honeywell Optima Alarm system (8EP396A panel with a 8EP417A LCD Keypad and a single PIR sensor) for my shed. When I entered this morning and entered the code the alarm sounded but every time I entered the correct code the alarm would briefly stop and then sound again. the only way I found to stop it is power it down and remove the battery. I only have about a second to see the fault, which is coming up as a PA fault. but the PA connection on the panel has a link cable closing the system (I assume this means it's not in use?) I've tried doing a reset of the syste…

HI I recently purchased a Menvier SD3 order number 3122 and have been having issues with it reporting 'line fail' I have checked the sim is ok by using it in my own phone and have tried another sim from another network. The aerial is undamaged but i cant get this to work. Am i missing something basic. Barry

Can you please advise me on the best battery choice for the above system so I may place my order, and advise me on estimated delivery times. Many thanks. Derry.

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

I would need to know which wireless receiver ( output relay ) you have that is compatible with door contacts from Inovonics - model EE1210W?

Hi I am looking into buying a Visonic home alarm system Is it possible to mount a curtain detector across a room, i.e. creating a wall (a foot inside of a number of windows), even though there might be chairs etc on the floor?

I need to replace an ADE id plus system but without replacing the cabling, do you offer a new system which will work with the id plus cabling?

My question is this. Are all the biscuits in an 11-20 blue-pack (as above) the same, apart from the numbered stickers, or is the internal wiring different? I ask because I've just broken a No 20 while attempting to replace a doorbell plate. Can I use another biscuit from the same pack as a replacement, or will this upset my alarm system? Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I'm no expert. I've asked for high-priority because my house alarm is disabled by the problem.

Currently speech dialler used to inform of movement from CCTV through text. View CCTV from iphone and would like to communicate via loud speaker to intruder. What products do you suggest, and how to connect.

I think I have damaged the PCB. It shorted as I was removing a connection when still live. I've replaced the blown fuse but, on rewiring, it alarms as soon as the system is set. I'm confident the wiring is correct & unit programming OK (I did a factory reset). There is no fault with the PIRs. Any suggestions on how to remedy?

Hi all Looking to purchase a wireless alarm for my house. 5pir's, 1 contact, panel. Would like to use existing wired bell box if possible. A good battery life would also be nice. Been looking at the infinite prime alarm, and the visonic powermax kit. The Scantronic 500r also looks ok Only problem is that the powermax plugs in with a plug in transformer, wouldn'y that be easy to defeat by a burglar? Any advice would be great Thanks Josh

I am putting together an alarm system for a domestic house using the 75 as the base system but need to add a couple of extra features which don't come in the box ! I am planning on having two master blasters, one inside and one out, these will be the 12v relay versions, will they wire straight into the panel without additional hardware? I also need to turn on about four 240v external floodlights upon activation of the alarm ( say 2000 watts total load ) will any additional hardware be required for these? I am an absolute alarm virgin so if you can keep it as simple as possible I would be very grateful. Thanks for your help

Hi Received my MCT-234 We require a receiver to work with the keyfobs What do I need to order? Regards Graham
