Intruder Alarms

I am replacing my old alarm system. I have done some research and it appears Scantronic are a good make in terms of functionality and reliability and come recomended from a colleague who has installed them previously. I have a wired sounder at present and want to maintain the wired asoect if possible. I'm looking at: i-on16 Control Panel (1) 714 Wireless PIR (6) Wireless door contacts - brown (2) Compatible wired sounder or the wireless one for i-on16 Please advise if the above are all compatable and what is my best option for a sounder. Also would the wireless PIR work in my detached garage? It's approximately10 metres from the control panel location.

We are a new organisation in southern Spain, a couple of elderly ex-pats who have become sick of the growing number of burglaries in the area. It is working well as we purchase kits from the internet and we are installing them and then using local labour, responding via GSM and arriving on site within 4-6 minutes. It has proved very successful in its first 3 weeks. However,we have one problem which is causing us grief and we are unable to remedy it. We suffer from frequent power cuts here, sometimes the rapid ones on and off for several minutes, and that can be day or night. As you may imagine, this activates the message to our phones and then re-sets only to go off again…

Hi, I bought an Optima Compact Gen4 over two months ago. Since then I have been trying to connect it to a bell box from another manufacturer without success. Honeywell technical support simply say that I MUST buy their Reson8 siren! The bell box model is Mars 2000, the instructions and circuitry are attached. I have tried numerous combinations of the panel's A/D/B terminals to the bell's H-/H+/SO terminals but the bell is never triggered by the panel. I know that the bell works because I can manually trigger it by changing the voltage on H+ or H-. Any tips before I give in and buy the Reson8? Thanks...

Hi, I'm interested in purchasing your product 166/173 (Visonic MCM-140). Before I do can you tell me if this is the 868mhz version?

THE "HKC 2 WAY WIRELESS QUANTUM KIT" BUT THE CLIENT WANTS TO USE 2 ENTRY EXIT DOORS . SO I WANTED TO KNOW IF YOU CAN TWIN A PIR WITH A DOOR CONTACT AND PUT THEM BOTH ON THE ENTRY EXIT ZONE . SO THEY CAN SET THE ALARM SIMPLY BY PRESSING SET ON THE OPTIONAL KEY FOBS YOU SELL , INSTEAD OF OMITTING ZONES AND STUFF WHEN SETTING THE ALARM ON THE KEY PAD

Hi I have been installing alarms for some time now but have never wired in the tamper circuit. I have now setup a new business installing security systems and feel i should now wire in this glabal tamper. I have in the past tried wiring all the sensors into the terminals but when i do this i can never generate a tamper alarm. Any guidance would be appriciated. Chris

Hi, I purchased a Scantronic 9651 from you in July. I have now noticed that in Eng Mode all IR and Panel tampers are taken out (as expected) allowing me to access the components, but having just taken the external siren cover off the bell rang immediately. It may be that this is correct but I was not expecting this (other panels I have installed eliminate all tampers in Eng Mode, inc the Bell). I would appreciate it if you could advice me if this is correct. Also, if it is correct is there a way to avoid the bell going off during maintenance of the system. For your info I have fitted a Pyronix Belle to the 9651 panel as below. Belle 9651 B- 0v B+ 12v BA OP1 (Bell) STB O…

I am looking for a replacement for RISCO B-673-0008, to work with Gardtec 595 & I understand the iWISE DT PET is now no longer available. Thanks Fred.

Hi, I am looking for a detector to cover an extension with lots of glass in. A dual tech sensor with k band has been recommended. Is this detector a good choice please?

HI again Following on from another question i would also like to know how to wire more than 1 sensor on a circuit. Whenever in the past i have done this, when testing the system it has failed to activate. I assume this can be done as some systems have more than 8 detectors. Chris

My first question is can you confirm the total load current of the AG6 is 260mA max as I seen else where figures higher than this. The total load for the Logic six is only 1A. My second question is could the second AG6 be wired with only the strobe operating but keeping the anti tamper working? If so how would this be wired?

Our premises has a security system supplied by you (quite a while ago now) and is fitted with a Honeywell AG6 external sounder. I need to disconnect the mains as well as the battery for an extended period and, after putting in the engineer code can remove various items, but when I remove the battery, the AG6 sounder keeps sounding. How do I switch this off?

The problem seems to come from the battery supply from motherboard no power to charge battery so flat battery will the unit need to be replaced

Hi can I install these detectors to a galaxy panel grade 3

does anybody no the best wireless intruder alarm system out there

I have purchased the Powermax+ from you last year. Am redoing the electrics in my place and rolling electrics to my cabin. Was wondering how I can connect my cabin to this alarm. Is there a way of connecting a PIR via a cable?

Eurosec CPX Panel & LCD KP, I have a site with wired detectors/door contacts/sounder + 2/3 wireless detectors so was thinking of this panel. What wireless PIR's/Door Contacts will suit and is there anything else u require for the wireless PIR's/Door Contact to communicate with the CPX, or is the CPX all set up to accept wirelss detectors ? What about the G-Tag, is this already built in to the KPads, so all u require are the Keyfobs ? Scantronic Homelink 55 Hybrid with LCD KP - as above basically, can u mix Wired/Wireless detectors etc. thx Mark.

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

Hello. Interested in installing an alarm system. Such as Electronics Line Infinite Wireless Kit can you tell me if i can change options and replace the PIRs for Door Connectors? Does the external box sound and is this wireless too? Basically what I want is wireless system, 4 Door connectors, outside box, GSM to alert of event.

when setting the alarm i get the following error message + Line Failcom 1 what does this mean how do i get around this error message i am not connecting it to any phone line Also why does the Diagnostic LED flash- does this mean anything

We are looking at buying the domonial system, the house is simple enough, requiring a Honeywell domonial wireless 2 PIR kit, an additional PIR, 3 more tags & a wireless siren. We also have two outbuildings that require protecting, the first is approximately 7m from the house (12m from the panel) it will need an internal alarm and 2 PIRs - one at 12m the other at 19m from the main panel, the signal would also have to travel through at least two solid walls, will it do this? There is also a barn some 45m from the panel, this is a bit more complex it will require 1 PIR and a door contact, we need to access it without always turning off the rest of the system and visa ve…

Risco Wireless Wisdom Kit 6 Wireless Devices could please send more details for the bell box is it totaly wire free

I purchased an ade Optima Compact alarm system which I have fitted all seemed fine until I tried to alter the customer code from **** it would not accept the change but stopped the system from working. I have tried resetting the system back to factory settings as outlined in the manual but it does not work when the alarm is powered up it goes right into alarm but no LED lights show (not even the battery power)and the code **** does not rest/stop the alarm.

We are Electrical Contractors (had products from SW in the past) normally install bells only systems but we have been asked us to replace an old system. (monitoring not required)customer ideally want a hard wired system planning to use Pyronix KX15DT`s and Pyronix Databell Plus My question is what would be a suitable control panel 8 zone minimum with 2 RKP`s which will allow programming etc with a Smart or Android phone ? Thanks Richard
