Intruder Alarms

Just installed the Accenta G4 panel and all worked well. a few days later a fault occured to the entry/exit. Problem is break to the pair of contact wire. Replace with the spare and makes and break but the problem is the panel does not register open/close of the contact but ok with the multimeter. Another factor that I can assume is new carpet was fitted and wonder if the fitter damaged the cable which I think would be most likely as it was all working fine before the carpet was fitted. No short between contact wire and tamper wire. Any help would be grateful. I will run a temp cable this weekend and see what happens.

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

I think I have damaged the PCB. It shorted as I was removing a connection when still live. I've replaced the blown fuse but, on rewiring, it alarms as soon as the system is set. I'm confident the wiring is correct & unit programming OK (I did a factory reset). There is no fault with the PIRs. Any suggestions on how to remedy?

Hi I would be interested in buying Visonic alarm system. However I am not clear on the PowerLink functionality. Do I have to have Visonic IPMP server installed separately to support PowerLink for exactly this: sending emails/MMS messages with pictures from connected cameras UPON alarm trigger.

Hello can anyone help,on entering the building after the alarm has been set there is no exit entry timers sounding ,and the externel bell box triggers,zone 2 which is in the path to the rkp is set as access.

Cannot get the Panel to do what the manual says it should on Power Up and Walk Test. I only have the Entry/Exit door switch wired to the panel to ensure easy diagnosis.

According to installation instructions for AG6 sounder PCB should be marked as follows TR- V- ST- V+ S- The actual PCB is marked ST- R- SW- V+ V- Can you confirm R- is actually TR- and SW- is actually S-

It keeps sounding at random times, with no tamper fault and no error message on the control panel. The problem seems to lie with the sounder only.

My system requires at least 10 wired inputs and up to 8 wireless. What would you recommend in this case. I also want a system which can phone/message me if there is an alarm and can be remotely operated.

Hi, have wired up system as should be, have all cct returns, bell tamper, PA and global tamper returns as should be. But on powering up all the RKP is showing is software version 4.00. Have depowered and shorted out NVM & kick start pins and tried again but just stays the same.

We have a optima xL4 MICROPROCESSOR alarm system. This keeps going off at various times during the day. We enter the code and reset only for it to go off again. none of the sensors are lit up (they used to have a red light on them) Please can you help as we are been woken at ridculous times in the night and have 2 young children !

Currently speech dialler used to inform of movement from CCTV through text. View CCTV from iphone and would like to communicate via loud speaker to intruder. What products do you suggest, and how to connect.

i am having a problem with a gardtec 370 panel ,when i come out of engineers mode,i have an internal sounder, and the figure 66 shows on the key pad display,can anyone please tell me what this is.

My external alarm bells (2 at high level)are not sounding when the system is activated/tripped.The internal bell on the panel are activated. Could the bells have been deactivated via the keyboard? If so could you please tell me how can they be reactivated. I had understood that if wires to alarm bell were cut the internal alarm would be activated.

Well as the title says i have a visonic and im getting a s01 low battery warning and triple beeping that is constantly happening and i really do need to turn it off, any information would be great at this time. Thanks

Now I've finally manage to install the alarm and test it. Everything seems to work fine except for one thing. I keep getting error message on line (line failure). I have connected a GSM module and no fixed phone line is connected. GSM-module works fine as I received an SMS on everything that happens or goes wrong. I must have changed somewhere in the menu to indicate that the center is connected to fixed telephone line! though it is not. I'm very grateful if anyone can help me with this.

I am looking for 18 shock sensors to replace some existing ones. What is the difference between the Aritech GS611 and the GS710 (apart from the 611 has an additional reed switch) ?

Is the powermax PRO in stock the new version with new motherboard and more memory and true split partitions?

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

Is it possible to disable or silence the external bells via the keyboard? If so could you please tell me how to reset the external bells again.

Hi, Our alarm has been giving us problems for about 2 weeks. It indicates an intermittent problem with the PA and low battery - the alarm goes off intermittently as well. we have changed the battery in the main control panel and the PA. We have inherited this system and have done nothing with it apart from keeping the PA to hand (and changing the batteries), it has never been armed. What advice can you give? We would be happy to disconnect the thing and switch it off completely - but when I try (by removing the fuse) the outside alarm goes off. Please help - it is driving us nuts especially during the night when it goes off for no reason. One thing - this probl…

I have not seen any on securitywarehouse product page but do anyone know of any other site where I can get normally open surface contact. are these passive or active(need power to work?) thanks

Hi, I've had the above system fitted by ADT (it has the LCD radio keypad) and I was checking to see if your gray tags should work - that is, would ADT manage to disable tag use and programming on their equipment. They have already quoted a silly price for the radio tag (

Hi There, I would like to use the Clip MCW PIR detector by Powermax with the Scantronic RFX08 radio receiver. The frequencies are compatible but will the two units communicate properly.

Hello. I'm trying to wire an external Sounder to my Powermax+ Central but I don't know how to wire it. So please help me 😞 The sounder is a Cranford Spatial Sounder Datasheet Thanks in advanced!
