Intruder Alarms

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!

I have a problem with the GSM-module...when I installed it I made the system powerless as it said in the manual, installed the sim-card and put the module in place. I connected the power both the battery and the AC. When I later should install the GSM in the "menu# 6" (where I put in the numbers the alarm shall sms to) it

is there a wireless trasmitter/reciver interface that can be fitted to the above to expand the system to more than 8 zones

Hi Received my MCT-234 We require a receiver to work with the keyfobs What do I need to order? Regards Graham

I have a Risco GT490X alarm fitted and have a couple of wired pir's and 1 or 2 wireless pir's. Can I add another outside alarm box? a wireless one?

I have an Accenta G3 alarm with two unused zones and would like to extend the alarm into my garage with is inbuilt. There is a single wall (thermal block) between the garage and the location of the alarm panel. I would like to fit a door sensor and a PIR and also fit a very loud sounder in the garage. I have some basic door contact switches and have been looking at one of the 4 way 'sound bomb' sounders. Would these be suitable? what PIR type would I need there are no appliances in the garage. Also is there a cage available for the sounder as I wouldn't want someone to be able to just whack it with a broom handle to silence it? Any help appreciated…

I'm interested in the said PIR (Texecom Prestige Compact IR), but i would like to know if it supports the EOL wiring.

Please can you advise how we reset the security code as our system is currently set to the system default. Our model number is CP8L LCD

The system was installed and commissioned as part of a new build. When we moved into the building End of January 2011 we started to set the alarm. On two occasions the alarm has gone off in the middle of the night. on both occasions the keypad has been totally blank but still powered because you can see the back light. on both occasions the only way to stop the alarm has been to open the control panel and disconnect the battery. The electrician (that always fits rafiki alarms) on powering the system back up found that the system thought the keypad had been tampered with. The first time we thought it was the tamper sensor and adjusted it. The second time with the same faul…

last April it has worked perfectly. However recently, although it texts me on arming and disarming, if I try to control the system remotely ie arm, disarm, status it fails to respond. This was a relatively expensive piece of equipment and although just over one year old, I would have expected it to have lasted longer than this. It is operating with a Premier 24 panel (although only partially now!)

I have an accenta g4 alarm system and would like to be able to arm/disarm it using mobile phone. Please can you let me know which diallers I can choose from that would be compatible? thanks

Scantronic 500r wireless panel not operating correctly, ac power fault ? mains voltage is applied but no secondary voltage from transformer.

Hi i wanted to know if this system will work with Honeywell accenta/optima security panel?? also will it connect directly to telephone line?? Also can it deactivate alarm through the phone??

We have recently moved in to a house fitted with a Scantronic 9448 alarm system. We believe we need to replace the PIR detectors to pet tolerant ones (as we have two house cats) and I wanted to check before I go ahead and purchase them that the 430 PIR will be compatible with the existing system?

How do I change the bell time on a honywell ADE gen4 alarm panel, as Page 25 of the engineer's guide is next to useless, do i need to be in engineer mode? I would like to set the time to about five minutes.

Hi all, im just wondering if the, Texecom Prestige External TD Outdoor Motion Sensor, is compatable with the texecom veritas r8 system, if so how is it connected and can you use the chime facility? thanks daniel

Can anyone tell me why & what the flashing light on my control panel means when it reads "RF problem"? thank you any info would be appreciated. My system is a wireless Scantronic 500r.

I am ready to order the subject item, model 18.980049 but need to know the following, Does the product come with the relevent sounder switch, i am wanting to run this unit for staff tea breaks so just wish to run siren to a switch then onto the 240v mains ! Can you confirm this is possible & also if the product does not come with a switch can you give me the part number so i can order at the same time. Could you also tell me how long it will take to arrive.

Hi I am a newbie here, I had an older alarm panel and as the PIR's were rubbish I replaced all the PIR's with new Bosch ones, but the control panel tamper sensors have had it so now I need a new control panel. I would really like to fit a door contact or virbration sensor to the rear patio doors but it would be a real pain to get a cable to it. Are there any wireless panels that could accept wired and wireless sensors? I am happy with all the other sensors I have so I don't want to install a complete wireless system. Thanks for your help Chris
