Intruder Alarms

Hi, I would like to fit a driveway alert (preferably wireless) so probably a narrow beam pir type thing, plus a gate openining alert. Basically when the gate opens or someone walks in the drive I would like a buzzer to go off inside the house. Is there an idiots kit?

I have the above as part of my alarm system. The external sounder does not seem to be operating although it seems to try. The strobe lights still flash when the system is set. I assume this is something to do with the piezo in the unit rather than a fuse. The unit is about 5 years old. If I buy the back plate will that come with everything I need to replace the sounder and is it likely that the fixings will line up or has the design been changed?

Hi I intend to upgrade my home security,the system,has a Veritas R8 panel and 8 PIR(IFSAC MQ1510)zones along with 2x RKP there have been many false alarms, due to, I think the poor PIR's, I was looking at installing up to 14 zones (2 door contacts, 8 Pir, 2 dual tech PIR,(orangery & Kitchen) 2 dual tech PIR (detached Garage)and 3 RKP. could you recommend the best control panel, RkP and PIR's I need to have the garage, armed when the house is not and also to have the 2 PIR's on the first floor omittable. Is it possible when there are any alarm activations to call a phone number. I have been looking at the Gardex 595 & GT490, and Pyronix KX PIR would these be suit…

I have just purchased the rs232 remote programmer but it is saying that I need to enter installer mode to access this. The main reason I bought the pack was because I could not get the installer option on the menu and I have forgotted the installer code. I have already tried a master reset but to no avail. Please could you advise if you are able to assist.

I have just purchased a Honeywell Accenta Gen4 intruder alarm. While the installation manual is reasonably good, the wiring of the internal sounder is unclear. My old alarm had an internal siren connected in parallel with the strobe light in the external bell box. The internal siren is polarity conscious in that it must be wired up the correct way. No problem so far. I suppose I could connect it in the same was as it was fitted in the previous installation, but it doesn't seem quite right, When I look at the installation, it does not make any reference to an internal siren/sounder, but it does make reference to an extension speaker (16 ohms) that may be connected across…

Hi could you please give me some advice on adding a proximity reader key pad to a honeywell accenta g4 if it is possible or not and part's needed

Hi informa bought with accenta poly gen4 (LCD Keypad) on 23 March. Alarm installed ok. Informa wired as per instructions. Programmed phone number and recorded message. When testing, you can hear number being dialled on the infoma box and then shortly after you hear the recorded message but the programmed telephone does not ring. Tried it with different numbers and programmed the number on 1,2&3. When trying it with a mobile phone number, the mobile didn\'t ring but received a missed call from the unit about 5 minutes later (this didn\'t happen everytime we tried the mobile - nothing came through). thanks

I am interested in buying a Premier Elite 48 panel from you and see that it comes with 8 Zones as standard. I understand that there are expansion slots in the panel to add more zones each slot in card gives an additional 8 zones. My installation will require around 28 Zones in total, so my questions are: How many expansion slots are there in the Elite 48 Panel before having to go to an external Expansion Module? Does Texecom produce a 16 Zone internal card or only 8 Zone? If I have to use an external module, is this powered from the main panel or will I require an addition Power Supply? What configuration will I need to have 32 Zones in total which will give me some …

I am looking to alarm my workshop. It consists of 3 rooms currently with plans to add another room in the future. There are 2 up and over doors, 1 standard access door and 1 double split opening door. 2 of these doors will be entry points with a keypad located close by. Only one of the rooms has a window. There is a cat flap in one of the doors for pet access. I have been looking on your website and come up with the following list of products for the system based around a Honeywell Accenta G4 Mini panel. I chose this panel because of price and expandability. Can you tell me if all the items on the list below are compatible ? Is there anything missing from the list that I …

Hi, I already have a Galaxy G2-44 with : 2 Keyprox - MK7 & MK8 1 RF Portal - C079-2 1 Internal siren 5 wireless motion sensors - Honeywell DTPI8M 4 wireless door contacts - Honeywell DO8M 6 wireless Smoke Sensors - Honeywell DF8M 2 Wireless CO sensors - Honeywell CO8M I want to add a Honeywell ECO1005-A to this system as there is not a wireless heat-rising sensor for this system that I can find. First, it's wired so will it work OK with the wireless sensors or will there be any conflicts? Also, do I need a latching or non-latching base for this? Hope you can help and thanks,

I'm looking to buy the GSM module for the Visonic PowerMax Complete alarm panel. Can you tell me that i do not need a central service station for this to work? If i need a Central Service Station, is this something i can setup?

I'm fairly sure I can interface the Reson8 bell box to an old RS alarm Panel I installed many years ago. The panel has (in order) + Hold off, - Hold off, -SW, +SW, -ExB, -ST-, + IntBell, - IntBell, +Buzz, -Buzz, -Tamp(Zone1),+Tamp(Zone1) Basically I cannot see how to connect the Tamper supply- and Tamper return- in the Wiring diagram. I am sticking with the wiring colours. I know it's quite serviceable.

Hi, My G2-20 is set to EOL and all the other sensors I have purchased from you have had EOL built-in. I guess the Activ8 BG I purchased does not. Can you confirm how I should wire this to my Honeywell Galaxy G2 panel. I have two zones spare that I'd like to use for the motion and the break glass feature of the Activ8. I guess I need to wire a 1k resistor between two of the terminals but not sure which ones. Terminal 1 & 2 - Tamper T 3 & 4 - R-PIR (normally closed) T 5 - EOL T 6 & 7 - R-MIC (normally closed) T 8 - +12v T 9 - GND Many thanks.

I would like a wireless single PIR, single door, telephone dialing warning unit with small key pad for a 2rd floor two bed flat. Ideally I'd like an internal and external audible siren but would settle for either. Scantronic have been recommended. Any ideas on what to buy rom you please?

Hi, I am told with this system, powermax plus, I can get Pir's to hard wire. I want to hard wire 3 Pir's, but see only 2 hard wire zones. What pir's can I use for hard wire please, and are there pet friendly ones ? Which hard wired external alarm can I buy with this ? Are all batteries included with the system please ? Wanting to buy the visonic plus control panel, 5 wireless door contacts, brown colour, 2 wireless pet tolerant pir's, 1 hard wired pir, 1 wired external alarm, 1 dummy alarm box, and 2 key fobs / Can you give me the best options kit wise, and cheapest way of buying these, and total costs please ? Thanks, Alan. alanbl@sky.com

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?

Good afternoon, I purchased a Veritas system with lcd keypad. The issue I have is that the keypad is showing a tamper fault and the tamper switch does not seem to be working. I have check all of the system and everything else seems in order. Is there an reason this would be a fault ? Kindest regards
