Intruder Alarms

Hi All, Hoping to order from securitywarehouse.co.uk in next few days but do have a few questions I hope they could help me with please? Property currently has an ADE Accenta 8 Mini fitted, but want to replace with Optima Compact Gen4 as something has blown on the 8 Mini PCB... system is 10 years old, will the current (s)elf ©ontrolled (B)ell work with this newer Optima Compact Gen4? Does the Optima Compact Gen4 come with backup battery or is this a seperate purchase? And finally, has anyone any opinions on this alarm or have a link to the wiring for it please? Many thanks in advance. GPH01

Hi, we bought a menvier SD1+ speech dialler from your website last week. Upon testing it, our engineer found problems dialling out. Upon talking to menvier tech support he was told that it was from a batch that had been recalled and that we should send it back via our supplier. Our secretary e-mailed tecnical@securitywarehouse.co.uk this a.m., but no reply as yet. Pleae treat this as urgent as our client(unhappy!) has to have a member of staff on the premises until this is installed.

All has been fine then about a month ago while setting it l received the message open zone 5 l don't know what have caused this. Have you any ideas? That zone is on a PIR Its a Honeywell lS3012.If you think l need to purchase a new PIR let me know or could it just need re programming?

I have an 11 year old scantronic 9930 fitted professionally and serviced. I am about to purchase a replacement keypad. However with regular power cuts here my alarm now triggers outside bell very quickly and will not go off for 15 minutes, i cannot reset. Also the display shows better missing even though it's not and i have checked all connections which are fine, also the battery is reading 12volts on tester. The only thing i noticed was split at bottom but, NO leaks ?? so why is it showing message and a 12volt reading on tester. Can you advice please as i don't want to waste money on keypad and battery if it is something else.

Good afternoon, Can you help me please. We are building a garage at present and want to use a wired alarm (we normally use the Pyronix euro mini) but we also want a remote wireless key fob that uses the 433mhz frequency so that we can add this new alarm onto the existing key fob that controls the auto gates, outside lights and the garage door. The Pyronix KEYFOB-WE is on the 868mhz frequency as are most of the main manufacturers key fobs. Is there either a good company making a wired system with a 433mhz fob available or a 433mhz wireless alarm expander/key fob that can be added to a Pyronix alarm? (I’m aware that the 433mhz frequency ma…

I was under the impression that with the powerlink3 I could access my internal cameras without a connection to a security service providers or rather the IPMP server provided by the service provider? Is this correct?

how do i clear an error - it states z03 alarmed - living room and says 'alarm in memory'. i also have a s01 tamper/open error [its the back pin i think - box is fixed back to pebble dash wall and the pins clearly not pushed in.] - not sure if it can be adjusted - instructions arent that clear... if i sort out the external box, will this then clear the issue/problem i have with the living room and allow me to set the alarm??

I have a new optima accenta gen 4 panel and an existing pyronix belle box. I have wiring diagrams for both but need help as to which wires go where! The wires are as follows:- PANEL - T = NEGATIVE (-VE) TAMPER RETURN A = NEGATIVE (-VE) SUPPLY (OV) D = POSITIVE (+VE) SUPPLY (12V) B = NEGATIVE (-VE) SOUNDER TRIGGER BOX - B- = NEGATIVE (-) B+ = POSITIVE (+) BA = BELL TRIGGER TERMINAL STB = STROBE TRIGGER TERMINAL BT = TAMPER RETURN TF = TAMPER FEED Any ideas please? Thanks in advance

Hi, Forgive me if this is very obvious, but I am new to wired alarms and just want to confirm in case all goes wrong... We purchased the Castle Euro Mini alarm from you recently, we are looking at installing it but had a query, if we want to wire more sensors than we have inputs in the unit, can we wire them in parallel in the same way you would wire the Tamper circuit in double pole wiring? then if so, is there a limit or recommended maximum for sensors and cable lengths etc? Our other question, due to it's position, we purchased a duplicate genuine alarm box (not a dummy). should these be wired in together to the same terminals or is there another way? …

Hi, I hope that you can help. I currently have a Texecom Veritas R8 wired system that is misbehaving and I am looking to change to a wireless system. I have recently decorated so do not want to start routing new cables and lifting carpets/floorboards. The house is a 3 bed semi, so I don't need the highest spec system. After reading several reports, I'm considering the Scantronic Homelink 55, although I am open to suggestions. The control panel is currently situated in a cupboard under the stairs and I intend locating this in the same place. However, I have a few questions. 1) I want a wireless remote keypad. Can the Homelink 55 operate with one, or do…

Hi I've installed the Scantronic 9651 with RKP 9940. and wired the panic button off the RKP but when i test the panic button, it doesn't work, any ideas i have two installs doing the same. San

I have a client who has an existing alarm system with a eurosec keypad, PR5208 rev 1.0. The keys 2 & 5 have given up working, so we need to replace just the keypad. Is the "Risco Gardtec Eurosec LCD Keypad" product that you sell the right one, or do i need the other one you sell that is for CPX and GTag? Also the original company to fit the system are no longer around, would you have a copy of the installer manual with the default master/installer code as i quite expect that taking the old pad off the wall will set off the system and as the buttons dont work i'll need to reset it all.

my omicron 7000 intruder alarm is giving problems. I think the panel is OK, but the outside bell box doesn't sound.I intend to first replace the bellbox, if this don't resolve the problem then I will replace the control panel. Or do you recommend that I just update and replace both items. I want to reuse the wiring and security devices. can you please recommend a suitable reliable replacement and give me some idea of the cost of the units. many thanks David

I have recently installed risco CPX control panel and have done some programming but it would be nice to have a manual/guide which describe every options in details, has anyone got any guide/manual please? How do I change the master default code of 5678? I have managed to changed the engineer default code from 1234, now when I enter the master code the alarm sets off even though I say "NO" to set system option, any idea what wrong I must have done? thanks

Anybody know if the SD2 dialer will work in North America. concerned about the ringer detection circuit as here in North America we use 90V at 20 Hz. Thanks

Hi, I sent the below to Honeywell UK but haven't heard from them. As it stands I am unable to set the alarm so this is pretty urgent. Can you assist me in understanding why all of a sudden a Le Sucre system is no longer working with your TC2.0e web service? It was working fine until a few days ago when the alarm would no longer set from the main panel using proximity fobs. If I login to the TC2.0e portal I notice the connectivity icon in the top right corner remains red with a cross through it. It won't allow me to delete equipment in order to start over. I have pushed the reset button on the main gprs unit and have of course power cycled all equipment- everything I tr…

I have in the past tried wiring all the sensors into the terminals but when i do this i can never generate a tamper alarm. Any guidance would be appriciated. Chris

Hi, i need help deciding between a PowerMax + (Visonic) or the Scantronic 9751-EN-00 55K for a 5 bedroom house. I need a 5 PIR, 8-10 shock sensors and 1 door contact with a wired outside bell, with a dial out facility. I also want to be able to hardwire the system to the garage later on. If not is there a better system that you could recommend? Any help would be greatly appreciated Many thanks, Surinder J

I would like to install either a Honeywell Galaxy 2-20 or 2-44. The house is very large with detached garages 10m away. Because the majority of the house floors can not be lifted and the decoration disturbed a wireless system must be fitted. This does not seem to be a problem for the Galaxy G2. Initial assessment suggest that in excess of 40 wireless detectors are required (dual-tec, door contacts, smoke alarms etc). As far as I can tell from the Honeywell specs there is no limit to the number of wireless detectors that can be added to the system, is this correct? Without doing a detailed RF site survey I anticipate that 2 RF portals will be required, the …

Hi All, I have just moved into a new (8 year old) house that has a 9651 alarm. I wanted to change some upstairs lights only to find when I turned the lighting circuit off the alarm started sounding. On further inspection, the alarm system shares the same power circuit as the upstairs lighting. I then tried disconnecting the batteries in the alarm control box and that just sent the alarm crazy again. Is there anyway this system can be put into a "engineer mode" ie can I turn the power off without the alarm sounding?. I have tried the alarm installation company but they can't help over the phone (suppose for security reasons) but are wanting silly money to come out? …
