Intruder Alarms

I am fitting a new intruder alarm system to my house, and want to utilise the wired sensors, etc I already have. However I want to have remote control operation as well. To achieve this I am looking at the Galaxy G2-12 panel with wireless expander (RF Portal) and wireless remote controls. Is the wireless module compatible wiht the G2-12 or do I have to move up to the G2-20?

I have seen the below items offered: http://www.securitywarehouse.co.uk/catalog/ade-id-biscuits-1-10-p-656.html Can you confirm if these are also suitable for the id system, as well as the id plus system? Thanks

Hi I have been roped in to help a friend that has an alarm panel that has died. I am looking for a panel that is 1. Easy to install 2. That can work with Biscuit ID wired sensors 3. Not expensive I think it is 6 Zone. Any ideas?

I have changed the battery in my alarm, 9448+, the red tamper light is on and I am not able to extinguish it and reset the alarm

Does this panel support EOL sensing?

Hi, I have received an old firmware version of the PowerMaster-10 panel, so currently I'm not able to install a working intruder alarm due to failed enrollment of MC-302E PG2 (magnetic contant) and KP-160 (Keyprox panel). "Unknown dev. type" is shown in the Powermaster-10 display. I have create a ticket in your support center, but haven't received a reply for a while... ticket id:# 783738 Please update me on the issue. Thanks! Regards Morten

I have a MCT-425 Smoke detector that warns about "Low-Battery" even though I have replaced the battery several times. I see this error on my control panel of my Visonic unit. The detector seems to be working OK, it gives med the regular 30 secons red flash. How do I remove this warning?

Please can you advise which of the surface contacts you sell would be suitable for use in conjunction with the wired input of the 'Visonic MC-302e PG2' wireless magnetic contact.

On the Accenta Mini Gen 4 Panel there are 2 U shaped staples connecting the tamper circuits for the keypad and siren. Should these stay in place at all times or be removed when the keypad and siren are fitted?

My problem is an Optima Compact giving spurious tamper alarms on the control panel. These are totally random and alerting the internal sounder not the outside alarm box when in day mode. The strobe flashes when this event occurs but as I say no alarm. When the system is set the alarm box works normally. On a suggestion I have changed the alarm panel battery . Spurious alarms from the panel seemed cured for 10 days but now have returned . Any possible answer to the issue appreciated.

Hi I am adding a Honeywell 12v latching base to an Accenta Mini Gen4. How do I wire the N/O N/C and C terminals on the base for a Honeywell Combination Optical/ Thermal Smoke Detector?

On the verge of ordering the new Powermaster 10 kit from Visonic.Looks exceptional. Two questions if I may: 1) I understand that the line from the telephone master socket must connect to LINE. However is it crucial that the main telephone is connected to SET. I think this set-up allows the alarm to sieze the incoming call. Would it be possible to run the telephone off an extension socket or from the master socket itself. Also there is some info about RJ31X plug which gets over the problem- is this USA only? I also understand that the GPRS/GPS module gets over the problem 2)An IP camera is available in this system. Can this be accessed by the homeuser o…

hi have euro mini castle caretec is there any pirs that can go in a bathroom?

Good morning, I have just received a new 723r I purchased to replace an old one I'd had which was broken. Could you please advise how to connect it to my Homelink 75 unit, I've tried following the Homelink instructions but it doesn't seem to work. Thank you

About to connect my visonic powermax complete to the telephone. According to the picture in the manual its just to plug in. But theres just two small holes. The telecable dont have pins. What to do? I havnt seen such a cable before is it typical UK?

I was wondering if you could help me? I am looking at this gsm module as a means of contact me. I have no telephone landline at the premises I want to install this and I need something that will phone me like a mobile phone and not just send text messages as this would not work, due to hearing a text message at night. Also how many numbers can be stored/programmed into the module?

Hi I am new to wiring up alarm systems and have 2 SC550/WH door contacts to add into a Honeywell Accenta Mini Gen4 system. There are no instructions for wiring the 6 connectors on the contacts. I assume the middle two are for the tamper. Where do the power and relay connect?

I'm intrested in a low cost wireless alarm system that I can connect into a PC. I would be looking at about 5 PIR sensors and 2 door sensors to start. In an ideal world multiple codes or RFID tags could be used to set unset.

If i purchse another Texecom VERITAS EXCEL C/W LCD RKP will any of the new style Texecom Premier Flush Mounted Chrome LCD Keypads work with the excel unit and keypad.

I'm interested in a Visonic Powermaster 10 Kit with additional peripherals. However, there are a few questions I haven't found information about. - The system has partition support but still only can handle one partition according to the brochure. How come? - Is the central proximity tag compatible out of the box or do you need a remote keypad? - Is your kit supplied with Euro mains plug? - If not connected to a monitoring centre is the alarm info sent only by SMS to numbers by choice or is there also voice dialing involved?

I am after an alarm system for my barn. It needs 4 zones minimum and a gsm dialler. What can you recommend ?

We have a Scantronic 9752 system with 2 9955 rfx expanders. The zone in the garage has a dual tech pir and transmitted using a 735r. About every two days we get a Sup Fail message on this zone. Distance is about 45 yards - easy line of sight and only a thin slate roof for the signal to get through. Suspecting the transmitter was not strong enough we recently bought from you the 703r transmitter and unfortunately still have the same problem. We tried the zone on both 9955 receivers which both show a signal stength of 6. So we have effectively changed the transmitter and the receiver and appear to have a good signal but are still getting Sup fail messages. Any idea what …

full Texecom Veritas Excel alarm system After a busy couple of weeks I finally got to installing it this morning. I didn't wire the end station to my field devices just yet, I just linked one of the remote keypads to program my own user codes in. Following the manual, I powered with the battery first and the panel powered up for around 30 seconds but then switched back off (I had just disarmed the panel with the default code and was about to enter the programming menu). I tried powering up again but the panel didn't switch on. I then disconnected the keypad and tried it again with battery and then on mains, nothing happened. No LEDs or anything... The batt…

please confirm that the DBA-0001 Texecom Premier LCD Keypad is compatible with the Texecom Premier 168 Control Panel. Thanks.

I have been recalculating and it seems that the Galaxy G2 wireless starter is is a very good deal. The kit is about the price of the sensors and the keyprox. which means I would get the panel + RF portal for free. Am I missing something here? If I want a Dimension 48 wireles started kit it seems I would better buy the wireless G2 kit + a separate GD 48 panel. Also if you cam me me a better deal for a GD 48 + MK7keyprox + 3wireless PIR + 6 wireless door contacts + 4 prox's + 2way switch I would like to hear that too. PS. Can I dial/log in remotely (PSTN/Ethernet) with the dimension?
