Intruder Alarms

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

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) ?

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 (

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?

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!

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

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

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

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 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

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…

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

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.

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.

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 am comparing the Galaxy Dimension with the G2-20 and G2-44 panels. Somewhat ironically, I cannot find the dimensions of the Dimension control panel box. Do you have this information (assume the GD-48 if other variants are larger)? And can the the inputs on all three panels (G2-20, G2-44 and GD-48) be expanded through adding a card into the main control panel box or is it necessary to fit another box? Thanks Tim

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

Hi, I purchased my second powermax+ kit (order number 26605) from you in March and I have now I have come to install it I have found out that the indoor siren (MCS-720) is unable to be enrolled on the powermax+ Would it be possible to return this item and have it replaced with a compatible wireless siren? Many thanks. Phil

I Live in Belgium and I have a PowerMax Pro (868 Mhz) and I would like to purchase some of your modules. But I have some questions about it: 1) Are your products compatible with my PowerMax Pro (868Mhz)? 2) Does your prices including VAT? If not, have I to pay it (as I live outside UK) and how much? 3) The GSM-350 is it the new version? Because the new version of GSM-350 is compatible with the PowerMax Pro Panel. 4) Can you provide PowerLink2? If yes, for how much? 5) What about the XM10? Can you provide it with EU plug? Thank you in advance and Regards,
