Intruder Alarms

hi just wanting to know what battery i need to buy for this sytem i have three sensors and one door contact and been told on 4 occasions differant ampage batteries

My installation went fine and system has been working fine for 2 months now. Yesterday we had a power cut and the alarm went off immediately. On investigation I found that the battery fuse was blown and that the charging circuit was generating no voltage at all. This means voltage from the supply side of the fuse holder is not present. The low voltage AC supply from the transformer is ok. If I put in a new fuse ( all I have at home is 1A ) and then connect up the battery the fuse blows immediately. The open circuit voltage on the battery is around 12.5 volts and I imagine that is the charge it had when I bought it. The battery is not a short circuit . If I ignore the …

In september last year i asked you a question if a oml-dam can be used as pir only with the mw disabled. You confirmed this with yes. I ordered 6 detectors which stein use in a residentiall environment for a small year now. During this year most of the detectors triggered a false alarm, some of them more than one. This makes the detectors very unreliable. In the same environment, the optex fx50sq performed much and much better being a lower end detector. So, do you know more about the unreliable function of the oml-dam as pir only? Is the pir only functionality in real world worser than the oml-am detector? Please help because even with those expensive and professional d…

Dear Sir, I have just had a new kitchen fitted and wanted to move the old large alarm to the porch...I contacted the engineer who fritted the old alarm and with great difficulty, managed to get him back to help. He advised that the cheapest way would to hide the old alarm and run a small pad type of alarm to be on show...still in the kitchen. Tonight I had to run through the house in order to get out in time as the alarm started to go off. The engineer has not left me any instructions...simply saying it is like my old one.....It is not! Getting hold of this chap has been so difficult.....Could you send me a Manual.....On the alarm it s…

could someone please recommend a backup ower supply suitable for the Risco Gardtec Eurosec CP8L

Installed an enforcer panel roughly 3 months ago and it has been working fine, setting and unsetting no false alarms etc, a few weeks ago it started flagging Mains failure, a code was entered to silence it and mains was restored. the following day it started flagging up LOW voltage on the screen, a code was entered to silence it but the orange triangle remained, the panel then died. I opened the panel and checked voltage going in and it was 240v, the battery must have ran the panel for about 14 hours but i dont see why it didnt recharge the battery because the mains was and still is entering the panel. Any suggestions or repairs i could make as its now providing no securi…

I was under the impression that with the powerlink3 I could access my internal cameras without a connection to a security service providers or rather the IPMP server provided by the service provider? Is this correct?

My question is why does the battery fuse blow every time I connect the battery? The battery is being connected the right way round. I disconnect the battery, change the fuse and reconnect the battery - the fuse blows. I've been doing this with the mains power on, so not to activate the siren. Is the battery or control panel faulty, or do I need to completely power down before changing the fuse (I can't see how this would change anything)?

Pre-Order Enquiry - Decoy Bell Box Do you sell a Decoy Burglar Alarm Bell Box that includes a mains powered light (such as a faint blue flashing strip light) that is always active ... and mimics an actual bell box. If so, please could you let me know the part number etc. If not, I would be very grateful for any suggestions ... such as modifying a standard decoy box? btw. Does 'Sigma' still exist or taken over? I installed a sigma system years ago and have tried to buy similar kit. Many thanks for your help.

I’m looking for a PIR sensor that can detect movement both from the bottom and the top of a staircase. Our current sensor is positioned on the wall above the door at the bottom of the staircase, but it only detects movement when someone is about four steps from the bottom. This is creating a safety risk, as the lights aren’t activating until a person walking down is already quite close to the bottom. The staircase is approximately 9 metres long. I have images I can share — please let me know an email address where I can send them. I was looking at the following item and was wondering if it would work for my requirements, or if you could recommend a product that would be m…

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 Security Warehouse, I have been trying to re-commission my SD1+ after it being disconnected for several months. However, I cannot enter any 'user code' because buttons 1,2 and 3, (also A), do not respond when pressed. I would appreciate your help please. Regards, Chris Wills.

Having had a Texecom R8 installed since 1996 the only thing that has now failed is the "5" on the Keypad, so I have replaced the old one with new 2010 version. The swap out has worked fine, but the Red Zone 1 & 3 lamps are on all the time, I have check the wiring and all is OK, and I have done the the scan for Keypads "0 9" from the new keypad, all appears to be OK, but the the Red Zone 1 & 3 lamps remain on (on the keypad) Date stamp on the Main box is also 1996, so is this a backwards compatabity issue with the new keypad and the old main box?

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

I bought one Optima Compact Gen4 control panel in the past, and now I want to buy one more. Is there a way to arm/disarm the unit wirelessly? Is this what key fobs are for? If so, which is compatible?

I read that Axis 1031w surveillance camera was supported by the powermax alarm. How many cameras are supported? If I connect a camera to the powermaster alarm, can I also connect it to my synology NAS?

Hi I have just installed a new Accenta G4 Compact with LCD keypad. I am quite confident that all is wired correctly. I note the Engineer's manual tells you to connect all the zones, tamper, pa circuits and then speakers. First question - the manual tells you to make sure that the factory fitted links are connected to the PA, TAMP and T-A. Surely this would mean that these functions would not work if these links were left in as they would be permanently shorted? I have checked all these circuits and they are closed (short) and therefore I assume I may disregard this. Second question - On page 14 the manual instructs you to connect the mains and it says t…

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.

I am trying to get a TS690 and keypad to replace a suspect duff cpu board.Undestand this is now obsolete and you show out of stock.Can you get me one or is that the end of the supply. Regards,Chris

Hi, first post Can anybody tell me the recommended way of wiring a Texecom Premier48 and PSU200XP combination to the mains supply? Would each panel require its own fused spur? I will not be undertaking this work myself, but would like to have some knowledge of what is required before approaching an electrician. Thanks in advance.
