Intruder Alarms

Hi there, I'm trying to source the components for an alarm kit for a building which is divided into two with two separate doors, but ideally one common alarm system. I have worked out that I need - Bellbox (external) - Keypad x2 (RFID/Tag or similar would be great!) - PIR x 3 - Control Box with backup battery - Door contact x 3 - Cable & Clips Would you be able to advise in which products you think would be most suitable?

We have a Verista 8 system installed in our house. The previous owners didn't leave the manual and now the tamper light is on and alarm does not sound. Can anyone help?

Hi, looking to but the Texecom Kit 2 32 Zone Wireless Kit with Sounder but have some questions. How is the Premier LCDP powered... batteries of PSU? I assume the LCDP is wireless to the main control box? I have a couple of locations I would like to 'hard wire' will any 'standard' PIR be suitable for this? Is it only 4 hard wired channels I can use? Think I need a cover for the bell box with this kit? please point in right direction for this please

Hi , I'm after a bit of help , I'm looking at installing an external sounder to a powermax complete panel in out house , the eves at the top of the house so don't want to be going up ladder to often to change batteries etc . I've looked on your web page and it directs me to an expander module to allow the connection up to the siren, however looking in the panel I can see some connection for 12v , internal and external sounder already on the main panel next to the connection for the telephone line , therefore can I just use those to feed the external siren, thanks for your help with this .

I want to order the following items [Honeywell ADE Informa Speech Dialler & ADE Honeywell Accenta Poly Gen4 with LCD Keypad & Bosch Blue Line ISM-BLP1-P Pet Friendly Blueline PIR Detector & Honeywell AG8 / WB ActiveGuard External Siren & Secware 12v 7.0A/h Value Alarm Battery & Honeywell Flexguard Glassbreak Detector], please could you tell me do Honeywell do smoke/fire detectors to add to the system ? Also are all the components listed compatible? Thanks David

Hi, I have a fully wired house system. I need to add another zone to a remote building, a garage, and to run a cable is not really possible. Can you recommend a wireless add on Tx/Rx. The zone will have just two door contacts which can be wired in series. the garage does have mains power if required. The garage is about 80 feet from the panel and has direct line of sight, that is to say no major structures to weaken the signal. many thanks

Good morning, Thank you for your email regarding the cover for my Flash Guard sounder. I am quite happy to purchase a new unit but would like to know if the six core cable that controlled the old unit will be ok for a new one. I have included a photo of the old unit and to which colour went to which connection on the vertical block located on the left of the photo. 1- Yellow (Tamp out) 2- White (Tamp in) 3- 4- Blue (Supply minus) 5- 6- Green (Trigger) 7- Red (Strobe plus) 8- Black (Trobe minus) There was then a Red coming from a battery going to the plus connection on the small terminal block. I hope this will help in recommending the right sounder for my application.

I am after an alarm system for my barn. It needs 4 zones minimum and a gsm dialler. What can you recommend ?

The Scantronic Sounder External Wired Backplate, SDR-WEXT-G2, installed a few years ago worked perfectly until about a week ago, when I noticed that the 'comfort LEDs' had stopped working. On further investigation the unt does not sound the siren when an alarm condition is triggered, although the internal Scantronic 9651PD does. On opening the external sounder box its cover tamper switch does not trigger the external siren but again it does trigger the 9651PD. On further investigation, the internal battery of the external sounder is fully charged, therefore I suspect the sounder circuit board is faulty. Are replacement circuit boards available for this unit as I don't…

Hi I'm looking to upgrade a Texecom Veritas r8 with pet PIR. Do you know if the following is compatible (Bosch Blue Line Gen 2 BLD2 Pet TriTech Blueline Detector ISC-BDL2-WP12H )

Can 1 dialler be used between 2 alarm systems that are within 100m of each other?

I want to use 12volt bells as my warning devices but I've been told that they will burn out the microprocessors on modern control panels. Is this just a way for the trade installer to put me off doing it myself or is there any truth in what he's saying.

have you any in stock that are compatible with the scantronic 500r - 2 pirs, 1 remote setting device, 1 door contact, 1 wired bell/siren external

Hi I need to default and reprogram an Avanti LC 8 zone alarm panel, it has an LED remote keypad and plastic end station. Building has been empty for some time and it was completely powered down. We have no record of any of the previous codes....anyone got an installation manual please?

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?

I'm wanting to buy a Bosch ISM-BLD1-P burglar alarm sensor, to replace a non-pet friendly sensor that is currently installed- it is a pain to keep pets out of that particular room. (The rest of the house is covered by existing ISM-BLD1-P's). The webpage mentions that there are different microwave frequencies that the detector can operate at, with each different frequency variant having a different letter at the end of the product code (F1, F3 or F4). Are you able to advise which frequency I am likely to require- are these different units? I can't find any mention of microwave frequency in any of the documentation for my current system.

I have been recalculating and it seems that the Galaxy G2 wireless starter is is a very good deal. The kit is about the price of the sensors and the keyprox. which means I would get the panel + RF portal for free. Am I missing something here? If I want a Dimension 48 wireles started kit it seems I would better buy the wireless G2 kit + a separate GD 48 panel. Also if you cam me me a better deal for a GD 48 + MK7keyprox + 3wireless PIR + 6 wireless door contacts + 4 prox's + 2way switch I would like to hear that too. PS. Can I dial/log in remotely (PSTN/Ethernet) with the dimension?

I have an Infinite Prime Alarm System installed. The alarm system has a PSTN module which I want to setup.I intend to run a two wires (blue/white and white/blue) from the master socket to the micro filter marked ‘from VDSL Line’.The two ‘OUT’ wires marked ‘To Modem’ would go to the two terminals on the PSTN module. Is this correct?Is the PSTN module performing like a modem? I do apologise for my lack of ignorance regarding the function of a PSTN module.Thanks
