Intruder Alarms

Just installed accenta g4 with a keypad upstairs and one downstairs. When i power on the system i dont get any text on the display, just backlight nad the first line where text should be all dots are on. Both keypads are wired back to the panel. Has anybody seen this before?

Hi, I'm after some advice on my Accenta G4 system, as with most good DIY project a purchased it a few months ago and only reently got round to fitting it (a wedding got in the way). Anyway i've installed it and powered the system up and two issues occur. 1) There is no power on light on the system or the key pad (or any light on any of the sensors). 2) Although the key pad (and alarm) operates (i'm assuming from the battery), when i enter the security code on the kep pad it says tamper lockout. Now i can accept that there may be a tamper fault somewhere but i wondering first whether its all related to the power problem and whether there is perhaps a f…

Hi, I seem to have my Gen 4 almost working as desired with my existing BG (DSC) equipment, however for the life of me I cannot seem to get the strobe light working. The Bell will work but not the strobe. The existing bell box wires where listed as (+) Red, (-) Black (which I have hooked both of these up to the bell connectors), AUX = Blue and Strobe = Green. Any advice/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hello I have installed system now, only one Magnet contat for Door entry.(Elmdene EN3-LSC) I've done programming. Disable all but door contact. When arming system: Door 'n Hall fails. System don't arm, only beeping( Program 1 set). Walk test gives 0 to Door What's wrong: is my door contact wrong kind, maybe false wiring or missprogramming ? Please help ! Respect !

Hello, I have just finished some work to tidy up the wiring on the Accenta Gen4 system fitted in my flat. Basically what I did was re-route a lot of the surface cabling under the floor, and also change a couple of the sensors. Now the system is up and running again it all seems to work fine, apart from the door contact. The door used to have a surface mounted Honeywell contact, and one of the changes I made was to swap that for a flush contact hidden in the doorframe (part is CQR FC508/WH). When I test the output from contact back at the panel with a multimeter is it fine; reads 2 Ohms with the door closed and then open circuit with the door opened. However…

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…

I bought a complete system from you towards the end of September (orders 12995 and 13006) and have recently installed the alarm in our new house. All is well except that I get I am getting SETTING FAULTS showing on the LCD keypad from the zones that are on the exit route. System sets and unsets correctly despite this. Have I made a mistake somewhere? I have checked the manual and searched the internet but can find no mention of setting faults anywhere. Hope you can help or point me in the right direction. Many thanks.

Hi, System ADE Poly Gen4 with LCD keypad Is there any way in which I can permanently enable the LCD and Keypad backlight on the Accenta Gen4 LCD Keypad. The current default state is that they illuminate for about 30 secs following a keypress. My previous ADE system (LED Keypad) had backlit buttons on all the time which I found quite helpful. Bob

will the led rkps off the older accenta work on the newer gen 4 panels also how do i split a zone to two zones on the accenta many thanks jeff gemtec security

I have an Accenta Mini 8 G3 alarm system. I need a new key pad. The original one 8EP219 I am told is out of date and been replaced with 8EP416. Can I change the keypad to the new one with no problems or is there likely to be compatability issues?

Hi - wonder if anyone can help ? Just fitted this system - all is well, except I want to be able to set a chime against a zone when the system is in set mode. No problem setting a chime against a zone when unset but there doesnt appear to be an option to apply a chime to a zone when set. Is there anyway of doing that ? Regards

I need a loud internal sounder to go with a Accenta Mini Gen4 - could someone recommend one as I have never fitted an additional sounder before

I have a Honeywell Acenta G4panel with 2keypads that need replacement. I know this panel is obsolete but it is in good condition overall. What alternative led keypads would work with this panel?

Description states "Many metal control panels connect 0Volt of the 12VDC supply to the case of the box." Do you know if this is true for the Honeywell Galaxy G2 panels?

Hi & thanks for providing this great resource. The house currently has a Scantronic 9800 which I removed & reinstalled (with new sensors & cabling) during an extension 9 years ago - works fine. I have built a detached garage with playroom above and want to wirelessly link 2 PIR + 2 smoke detectors to the house alarm - don't really want battery powered detectors though. Cooper Security recommended 703R & 762 but didn't really want to talk to me as not a pro installer. I will also be needing another keypad for the system. What do you recommend please. Many thanks, Roger

Hi, I have a house and a detached garage, both currently covered by completely separate wired systems. There are separate Bell Boxes, one on the front of the house and one on the garage. As the house system has become faulty, I am about to replace both systems with 1 Homelink 55. I want to continue to have SABs on both buildings (with the flashing LEDs to prove that they're real). I could just power the unit on the garage (no wires other than power connect from house to garage) and hardwire it so that its just decorative, but wanted to have it operational. I've been looking at the information available and am confused. Can I achieve what I want, i.e. remotely tri…

Hi I would like to add a couple of remote keyfobs (KTC805) to my existing Dominial installation. Is this the same process as adding a new user / proximity tag or is there a different process? Do installation instructions come with the keyfobs? Thanks Mark

can you supply extra PIRs to infinate wireless kit and at what price?

Hi I purchased the above panel recently. The user manual suggests that it can be set up in a way that you only need only press the set button rather than entering the 4 didgit code. I cant see in the engineers manual how to do this. Is this the case and if so how do you set it up. Thanks Jimr

I recently bought a "ADE Optima Compact 8 zone control panel with onboard keypad" Secware Optima 2 x PIR Full Kit from you. I would like to fit two ADE Activ8 standard PIR Complete With Pet Immunity Facility sensors, do I need 8 core wire, as with the kit came 6 core Thank you

I'm tring to programme the bell time on this panel in engineering mode. When I press "6", LED's 1,2 and 3 should show but I'm getting 1,3,5 and 7 and then it won't go any further. Does anyone know what this means and why it is happening?

Hi I have a ADE Honeywell Accenta Mini Gen4 with 4 bosch pir
