  1. Started by Secware,

    I have purchased a belle and two twin alerts by pynonix (order no 33462) to install on a scantronic 9752 panel. Neither the scantronic nor either belle/twinalert manuals match each other so would like some guidance on wiring these up. The scantronic manual has the following output:NO1, NO2, Tr, 12V AUX and 0V, and a separate +, and LS for internal loudspeaker. The belle has B-, B+, BA, STB, SPARE, BT and TF, The twin alert has 12V+, 12V-, SPK and BA The belle shows the following connections for scantronic: B+ = 12V B- = 0v BA = BELL STB = STROBE- BT = TR TF = 0V The TwinAlert has: 12V+ = +12V 12V- = 0V SPK = SPKR (low) BA = BELL The s…

  2. Which cable is best to use for the Comm's network ie Galaxy Panel to Keypads and to RIO's?

  3. I am looking too install a wired alarm system into a large powered garage and would like a recommendation on which of your products would be most suitable. Ideally I would like the control unit (with battery backup) separate to a keypad (or fob reader) so that it can be installed out of harms way. If possible, I would also like an external siren with strobe. For the sensors I think 2 PIRs would suffice however, these need to avoid false alarms so perhaps dual sensing ones would be better for me. The PIRs need to be able to cope with more extreme temperatures than inside a house, a hot motor vehicle being parked in front of them and probably the odd spider or two. Please…

    I am after a remote that will work on a Sterling 10 for setting/unsetting? Is this possible?

  5. I am quite new to wiring intruder alarms. I just purchased the H-well ADE Accenta 4 x PET PIR Starter Kit and have the following questions: 1. My current intruder alarm has an internal siren and a strobe both in serial connection to a PIR. Is this possible with the H-well kit or do they both have to have their own wiring? 2. According to the H-well Engineer's Manual the strobe should be connected with yellow, white, green, red and black. What about the blue? 3. I have an internal siren which is connected with 6 core cable but extension speakers should be connected with 2 wires according to Engineer's Manual. What do I do? 4. 6 core wiring in general. Does it matter wh…

  6. Hi, we are looking at the Honeywell EC01000 range of detectors. We require Optical & Ionization, can you recomend an Ionization Detector for the Honeywell Galaxy Dimension Panel and explain the diffrence in the standard and diode base. Am I right in thinking these have no sounder and if so what compatible internal sounder is available?

  7. Hello, I have now received my alarm but when I connect power I get a fault code: - NOT READY TRBL MEMORY and I can not find this fault code in the maual or on Visonics webpage. Please advise how to proceed.

  8. I am planning an alarm for my house. It should be hybrid with wired and wirefree sensors. I have been looking at Scantronic. Which of Homelink 55 and I-on40 do you recommend? No price difference as I get it. Are there any other brands that you reccommend?

  9. I have a flat which is fairly secure and unlikely to be broken into. However for £200 or so it seems a good idea to fit an alarm. I have been considering the Yale Premium and was looking at a forum on http://www.diynot.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=255745&start=30. One contributor was not so keen on the Yale alarm and stated: ?If you really want a Yale system, try this instead. http://www.securitywarehouse.co.uk/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=1015 Similar price and a graded product. http://www.securitywarehouse.co.uk/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2202 I have looked at your site but find it difficult to…

    Accenta G4 mini from you. Connected it up and fully tested including under alarm conditions. Last week I had an alarm activation which worked fine BUT the strobe will not reset. Thinking I had a faulty siren I bought a Honeywell ActiveGuard AG3 from you. I powered down the panel and connected the new siren. Repowered and the strobe was immediately flashing and still won't reset! Powered down the panel and connected the siren with a short length of new cable. Repowered the panel and the strobe was immediately flashing and still won't reset.

  12. Hi, I want to purchase 1x heat sensor and 2 x smoke sensor to add to my current BT VP1000 alarm system. Can you advise me on what is compatible with it.

  13. Only zones 1,4,5 used .zone 1 is the exit/entry zone .All PIR detectors work on walk test and zone 1 works in chime mode.The alarm sets OK system bleeping until set . when the entry zone ( 1 ) operates it goes straight to alarm , after reset code entered the panel has zone 1 flashing only.

  14. 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?

  15. Hi, I purchased a ADE Honeywell Accenta Mini Gen4 with LCD Keypad on 01/05/2010, This has a problem where it says "Tamper Fault Lockout" on the keypad, I have tested all the tamper circuits and they are very low resistance. I suspect the main board or remote keypad is faulty although the fault only occured when I removed the panic button for decorating. I cannot get it to reset.

  16. fitted new panel no problems, but unable to get entry time to work full alarm goes off as soon as door opened . tried setting up as described in engineer's manual page 38 . Is it something I'am doing or is the panel faulty ?

    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?

  18. 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.

    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

  20. i am looking for a suitable replacment for a karizma + system that i installed many years ago, the system must use id type biscuits as the system was wired this way originally , can the castle euro one do this and if so can you supply it with a 125 khx prox keypad?

  21. 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?
