I need to replace a PIR motion detector for my home alarm system. The sensor that needs replaced has 7 terminals at the top of the circuit board. They are: 12v power +/-, Alarm NC x2, Test x1, Tamper NC x2. Do you sell a detector with the same connections? I tried a Pyronix MeQBlue but it only has 6 terminals (no Test terminal) and also the terminals are at the bottom of the board and not the top ( the cable length and positioning are quite limited). Thanks for your help!

It keeps sounding at random times, with no tamper fault and no error message on the control panel. The problem seems to lie with the sounder only.

Hi, looking to but the Texecom Kit 2 32 Zone Wireless Kit with Sounder but have some questions. How is the Premier LCDP powered... batteries of PSU? I assume the LCDP is wireless to the main control box? I have a couple of locations I would like to 'hard wire' will any 'standard' PIR be suitable for this? Is it only 4 hard wired channels I can use? Think I need a cover for the bell box with this kit? please point in right direction for this please

I am sorry to bother you again. Can you tell me please is it possible to get a wireless sender and receiver to fit inside the VERITAS R8 control panel as we have a garage that was alarmed that way as it is detached from the house and the old wireless sender is not compatible with your system. Also is there a code to open the panel to replace the battery as the installer took all the installation notes with him and he has gone to Australia for 3 months so i cannot contact him.

My wireless home alarm system has been jammed by source unknown. I have reset it but would like to back it up with hard wired system, not susceptible to jamming, for the upper floor of my house. Could you suggest components for such a system. I would like it to include Two PIRs (no need for pet friendly type) A remote wired keypad which can be set/unset easily without keying in a four number code ( I would like to either press one button or use a proximity tag, unless its operation can be jammed) A panic button (unless its operation can be jammed) Outside bellbox with battery back-up (not Odyssey) Thanks

My current alarm Guardall Rascal Super is broken so needs replacing(we are using 4 programmed zones and chime). I'd like to replace the control unit unit and bellbox but use existing wiring, sensors and internal speaker. I'm looking at the MDT Avanti 8 and AG6 bellbox (current bellbox looks tatty and has no strobe). 1. Is the chime quite loud? We would like to hear if someone enters the house from the other side of the building. 2. The Rascall Super system is 12v and I think the Avanti 8 is 13.8v, will our existing sensors work with the new control unit?

Hi, I am installing a Honeywell G2-20 alarm system at my home. I currently have two iWise 800QG3 movement sensors and am looking at installing an additional four to the system. I am considering purchasing the following detectors. https://www.securitywarehouse.co.uk/catalog/bosch-blue-line-gen-2-bld2-pet-tritech-blueline-detector-p-2392.html I understand TriTech is the best class of motion sensor to reduce false alarms. Is this sensor recommended or would you recommend something else? Any advice is much appreciated. Kind regards,

Good morning I wondered if you could help, we have fitted a ali door to a business which has a Chubb alarm system, and the Chubb engineer has said the below. "The lock or keep needs to have an integral micro switch contact on it to provide electrical connections. Giving common, normally open and normally closed options for the connection onto the alarm" I could really use some help with this from someone who knows, I do have pictures of the door if i can send them across to you. Wondered if you had i stock or could get what i need, Thank you

Having just been burgled I have purchased a KX15DATM pir from you to replace a failing unit from a different manufacturer. The existing unit is connected via 6 cables - 2x Tamper, 2x Relay and 2x 12v. Do you know what connectors the cables need to be screwed into on the KX15 please? I may also have to change some of the dip switches? The control panel is an Accenta 8.

Was wondering if anybody has detail for the Scantronic Plug-in footprint used by the 960? I wanted to hook this speech dialer up to an alarm that does not have the Scantronic footprint. If I could get hold of the spec for the two connectors of the 960 I could then jury rig a connector (or spade terminals) to tease out the 4 standard triggers as well as the line fail signal. I could also take care of any other inputs that need to be dealt with. Any ideas? I've done an extensive web search for detail of the footprint but have not found anything. Thanks John

I am about to order the Scantronic Homelink 55 from your site but have a couple of questions... Can I add an extra keypad with prox reader? The description of the Homelink mentions only the 9940 and 41 but they are no longer available I think? Will the Scantronic PIR's (wired types) work OK with the system, as I only need wireless contacts for the doors, all other sensors will be wired? Any recommendations for a suitable external sounder?

What is the best course of action - I have a Homelink ( Scantronic) 75 Security System installed over 3 yrs ( the installers have gone bust and I cannot therefore get the original installers to maintain system) Over the last 6 months the system as gone down specifically - the passives batteries. Can I simply replace batteries with lithium AA cell batteries will this restore the system to normal functuality at the control panel or does the new batteries mean a total reset? Secondly, can I add further 2 passives (I believe I'd need the Scantronic 714R passive infra-red detector & transmitter) and a panic alarm or do I need professional installers due to complexity…

Hi I am looking for an alarm for a workshop/shed, 1 opening window, 1 fixed window and double doors. I have used Scantronic previously and therefore would like the following:- Scantronic 9448, with 2 contact switches, a glass break sensor, Elmdene INT400 and a battery. (I have avoided PIR\\\'s because of false alarms) Could you advise if this is suitable or are there better options, please advise battery type for above.
