Basiacllly they want the doors to chime and light up on the key pad until reset or another door opens .

Ie I am not going to install them then a fault comes up on the keypad

    I need to replace a couple of PIRs and am looking at some which have eol resistors built in. They will be in a circuit wired in series - just the 2 - and there is already an eol resistor wired into the circuit at the panel. Can these PIRs be switched so that they show zero resistance as I am not sure what adding extra resistance into the circuit would be handled by the very old panel.

  9. 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.

    I've purchased a replacement LCD keypad for my Accente G4 Mini as the old keypad has a faulty button. I installed the system myself a few years ago so have no issue with the physical wiring etc. I'm just wondering if I will need to re programme the whole system once I change the keypad or are the settings saved in the main panel? I'm just trying to work out if its a 10 minute job or if it will take longer as I will need to re programme the system.

    Hi, I have a Honeywell Flex 20 C005-E2-K04I with Mk8 Keyprox Keypad and Ethernet and I am looking for IR detectors. what do you recommend? I am not interested in wireless detectors, could you please also advise which smoke detector, door magnet and RF portal card is required? Doesn't have to be Honeywell.

  19. Do you supply a vandal resistant keypad that has either a USB or RS232 interface. USB is preferred. I think that the Storm 1000 keypad does have an RS232 output. Can you confirm this,and could you get stock of this item if you do not already ? Thanks in advance.

    I purchased a Honeywell Accenta Metal Gen4 Control Panel and Viper GLX Shock Sensors from you a couple of years ago (Order #16133). I am only getting around to installing the alarm system now and I have a query which I hope you can answer. Before I bought the house, part of the house had already been pre-wired with 4-core alarm cable. One of the pre-wired zones at the rear of the house is wired with 4-core cable and the sensor points are linked in series, i.e. the alarm circuit and tamper circuit are both linked in series. The cables to each sensor are connected under a tiled floor, so the junction box is impossible to access without breaking tiles. As the sensor loca…

  22. On the Accenta Mini Gen 4 Panel there are 2 U shaped staples connecting the tamper circuits for the keypad and siren. Should these stay in place at all times or be removed when the keypad and siren are fitted?
