Intruder Alarms

I am planning to replace an old intruder alarm system with all new equipment. The only problem I can foresee is the space available for the control panel (fitted in a meter cupboard). The existing panel is a GARTEC (h175xw210xd70). An ACCENTA MINI GEN4 (h200xw253xd55) will fit in the space available but there will be little room (approx 20mm) above and below the panel. My question is: How does the front cover of the panel open and/or how is it removed? Does it hinge (top & bottom) and will I have enough room to open/remove it?

Hi, I'd like to upgrade my premier 24 to a premier 48. I already have the metal case. Is it possible to buy a premier 48 without the metal case (assuming both metal cases are compatible) ? Thanks.

I wish to replace a Scantronic 9800 entry pad. Is there an easy replacement.

We're about to install an Accenta Mini Gen4 with conventional intruder detectors, remote keypads and an external bell sounder. We will also have a number of Menvier M12 smoke detectors on Zones 7 & 8 for 24-hour fire detection. If Zones 7 & 8 trigger, we're expecting the Accenta to display an appropriate alarm on the RKPs and do 2-sec on / 2-sec off signalling on the external bell box. If possible, we also wish to fit an all-in-one sounder / strobe unit in a specific room to ensure that the occupants understand that the "bells that they can hear ringing in the distance" are indicating a fire alarm (and that they should evacuate). We're uncertain if somethi…

We have an old Scantronic 4600 alarm and want to be able to remotely set and unset the alarm. Do you sell a remote control device that will allow us to do this? We have a Scantronic 4605 UK-55 remote device but this seems to be able to set the alarm but not unset it which is a pain!

We have an 8 year old 4-channel SD1 unit in a holiday home in France that has recently stopped dialling out. The other functions (message record/test playback etc) appear to work. When you send a test call (put into ready & press A1 for instance) it immediately plays back the correct message over the internalspeaker 4x but does not appear to wait to detect the dialing tone, or phone out. The adjacent spurred 56V socket works with normal phone and 56V detected at SD1 phone input terminals i.e. probably not supply problem. From listening on the line it appears be trying to pulse dial (it used to tonedial) but forcing tone via phonenumber T-prefix makes no difference nei…

i ordered and installed an ade alarm system, the customer has asked if i can clear the event log, i have looked but this is not shown in the manual. can this be done ( hopefully from the key pad )

I currently have a Texecom R8 house alarm. I need to replace the main circuit board, so I thought I would upgrade to the Excel, use the Existing R8 as a remote keypad in an alternative location and install an new PIR sensor while I was at it. The question is. Is the existing R8 keypad compatible with the Excel board? (as an additional remote keypad) and will the existing PIR sensors operate correctly? Do you use any further problems? Note: The main unit I am considering ordering is; http://www.securitywarehouse.co.uk/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=340

I am keen to purchase a Texecom Veritas Excel Panel with LCD keypad and an additional LED keypad for a second door. I see your kit includes the LCD keypad and I can order a second keypad. I already have one R8 Plus installed and can program these. I am also keen to obtain the PC-COM cable to make programming easier. I have found one on your site. I wanted to ask if this was compatible with the Excel panel and also if the software is supplied or easily downloaded. I would also like to order a 12v battery for this. I can obtain this from you or from local Maplin - i would prefer to order all from one place if I can. Finally, I already have PIRs in place as this will…

Hi. I had Scantronic 9800 system installed 20 years ago. It has given good service but the push buttons have become faulty over the years and we are now on the last four buttons that work reliably. Is there a compatible replacement available for the original 9825 remote keypad? If yes is it simply a case of switching off power, disconnect battery and swop over wires on keypad or does it need an 'expert'?

I just bought an AMDT and I'd like to understand the purpose of the SET wire. What is the Alert/Set mode ? Should it be left unconnected (and be in the standby mode) ? BTW, what is its current drain ? Thanks.

I have just purchased a Texecom 4 and would like to know the connections for connecting to an Omnicron 7000 panel.

Hi - just wondering if the G4 LED keypads for the Accenta are compatible with the G3 RKPs/systems? Also, do you sell these G4 RKPs seperately?

I have a system in a gun club that uses the scantronic 9800 which is now becoming unreliable due to its age. It is also in a humid environment which does not help! I would like to replace the unit with a new one so am interested in the 9752. Could you tell me if this is a good choice and if it is then can I (not an alarm engineer but good with electronics) swop the unit over easily. Thank you for your advice. S. Cooke

I had scantronic 9800 alarm system installed 20 years ago, working fine, my key pad box cover is broken which covers all the key pad, there is Scantronic 9827 key pad only which is on your website it says it is now obsolete, will this key pad is same as my 9800 key pad with the cover and work same as old key pad? If it is I would like to order ASAP.
