    Looking to buy a veritas excel and want advice about PIRs ie Mirage or Prestige range.

  2. I want to cennect to my Texecom Premier Elite 24 using Wintex on a laptop connected to the household LAN. Do I need the ComIP at around £107.79? Is the Connect Samrtcom Ethernet & WiFi CEL-0001 at £76.79 still available and would it be an alternative.

  3. 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?

  4. TKC 12v DC Relay - Handy Little Relay can this function as a self actuating bell unit - ie: senses voltage failure and activates a relay to sound bell/trigger event? If not do you have such a unit?

    I have a 15 year old Eurosec system that I whish to refurbish/upgrade. A few questions: I have what looks like the CP8L remote pad - is there an better option to replace? Tag compatible? Would you advise replacing the main panel at 15yrs old? I wish to add another remote keypad (garage entrance) and a contact/PIR - best option (remote tag?) Can you recommend replacement PIRs? Is there such a thing as wireless door contact?

  6. I am a building contractor with a number of sites in operation. I am interested in the GJD GSM Autodialler or Pyronix V2 GSM. Can these products be used as standalone alarm units. Can PIRs be connected directly to this unit or do I have to integrate this with an alarm control panel?

    I am trying to install Scantronic 9448EUR-90 board with two Takex MS100E multi pattern sensors connected in series on Zone 2 (all other zones are disabled) and Elmdene Quartz 1000live sounder. My problem is that control panel shows temper fault - all boxes are closed, all cable connections verified. If I reset the panel by disconnecting battery and main supply the temper light will go off Zone 2 light will go on and when you try to set the alarm with users code the temper lights come up on again. Could somebody recommend how I can solved the problem?

  8. I successfully installed my SPC4320 with IR sensor and Elmdene ELM300 internal sounder. This configuration works properly today. I wanted to connect the external Rapier sounder but I have two issues: - Tamper detection: I wired the tamper on sounder as explained in the Rapier manual by choosing the 2.2K resistor on the board and connected it directly to the TR pin on the SPC4320 but the tamper remains faulty even if the sounder is closed and fixed (sensors on the Rapier work well as confirmed by beep from the sounder). - EX+ and EX- signals: In SPC Pro->Panel setting->Controller input and output->Output (please see attached screenshot), I try to commute the ext.…

    I have Scantronic 762 dual channel receiver that currently works with two 738r shock sensors. I wish to swap out one of these sensors for a PIR unit but a) do not know if one channel would be enough for a PIR , and which PIR to buy. (I am told that that I need a Scantronic 700r series item.) Can you please advise.

    Hey, My old ademco accord has stopped working due to the transformer being broken. I am now looking to install a new system myself using existing wiring etc, but I'm not sure what system would be most suited and easiest to install. I am thinking of either Texecom VERITAS R8 or the Scantronic 9448. Any advice, tips or help would be appreciated. Ta.

  14. I need to fit 5 hard wired fire alarms in my house as part of a loft conversion. I bought a Scantronic 9751 based burglar alarm system from you a few years ago. Do you supply fire alarms that can be hard wired into this system?

  15. Started by NeilHKH,

    Panel has become unreliable and believe it is the panel not the wiring. I have 12 proximity sensors, 12 smoke detectors and 2 heat detectors. I also have 3 remote access keypads with simple LCD display. I would like to add another 6 sensors. My questions are: Should I reuse the existing wiring? (its an old house and took a great deal of effort to fit professionally). Which system would provide the most intuitive fault finding? Which system / manufacturer offers the most scope for the future? Can I reuse all the existing detectors? Would ideally like to be able to look in from a pc or iPad to see status? Any comments or suggestions gratefully received.

    We have a Visonic powermaster 10 with problems accessing the gsm network. I am not able to control it or obtain status reports via sms, and when I run the GSM/GPRS diagnostics it reports "Gsm net. fail". I am not aware of any issues with the SIM card or the subscription, but I thought I would try using another SIM. However, the installation manual clearly states no to insert or remove SIM card when the control panel is powered by AC or battery. Hence I need to remove the backup battery, but on page 59 in the user guide it is stated that I should contact my installer to perform the backup battery replacement. Since I installed the system myself, I do not have any insta…

    I have a former ADT monitored alarm and I need to purchase a few more accessories for it. It is a Visonic Powermaster 30. Somebody told me that not all the Powermaster accessories work with the ADT alarms. Is this correct or will the PIRs and contacts you sell work with the system?

  20. I'm looking for a wired alarm. I was interested in Veritas R8, but seems this model do not offer a feature i need. I would like the remote keypad to continuously display the state of each zone, with no sound, even when the alarm is turned off (i would like the control panel to behave by default as a silent alarm, and activate sounders when i switch the alarm ON). Do you have any alarm control panel that propose such feature? thx

    Hi, I had a CP8L alarm previously installed in my house. The control panel became faulty so I decided to replace it with a more adaptable CPX control panel. I had read that the RKPs for the CP8L were compatible wth the CPX control panel. However, when I connect up one of the RKPs to the new CPX control panel it simply shows a back light and nothing else. The RKPs were working fine with the CP8L and I have connected both of them directly to the CPX with a short cable (with nothing else connected and with all devices connected), to no avail. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Darrn

    Hi, Recently installed a Galaxy 2-20 for a client and they said they have had trouble unsettling the system before, so went round and checked everything, front door is on a door contact and set as final door, detector near front door is programmed as exit. Now I noticed that when unsettling they leave the front door open, could this stop them unsettling the system?, I don't see why not myself?, although I did notice that he said when he unset the system he entered the code and then pressed A, which is the procedure for setting the system
