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…

I am putting together an alarm system for a domestic house using the 75 as the base system but need to add a couple of extra features which don't come in the box ! I am planning on having two master blasters, one inside and one out, these will be the 12v relay versions, will they wire straight into the panel without additional hardware? I also need to turn on about four 240v external floodlights upon activation of the alarm ( say 2000 watts total load ) will any additional hardware be required for these? I am an absolute alarm virgin so if you can keep it as simple as possible I would be very grateful. Thanks for your help

Sorry all you good people out there, to ask these questions , but I do not know whether it is I who is Dim or could the Electronics actually be at fault ?. When I try to register the keyfobs under other devices and I go to arming station I am asked to activate the tamper , A Is this the correct section to be in . B As there is no tamper do I just press any button or what. Also with regard to the Tag I am supposed to offer this up to the top left of the panel . I am in the arming station section but nothing is reacting. Again am I in the correct section and is there any way of verifying the Tag is working. I have proved that the Fobs are working by …

Can you tell me if the Honeywell AC030 alarm button can be wired with just two wires? My current one which I need to replace only has two wires connected to it and the tamper function when removing the cover still works.

Hi, I installed the LCD panel yesterday. and the screen just froze a few hours after I set the alarm. The keypad was unresponsive and showing time and date on the screen. I powered the alarm off and when I reconnected it, the LCD panel was still unresponsive but the screen was showing Accenta G4 RKP F131-01-111 The keys are NOT responding. Any help? Thanks in advance.

Hi, I have just finished fitting a Honeywell Accenta Mini G4 with LCD control panel system to my house. I have got to the point of powering the system up and setting it up. The manual says "check that the factory fitted links are connected to the terminals PA, TAMP and T-A. I have fitted it to PA, the TAMP connections are being used for the other sensors on the system, and the T-A terminals are wired to the Bell Box. I then connect the mains power and the battery. The manual says there should be an audible indication, which there is. The 'power' light on the G4 main unit illuminates. The LCD keypad lights up and displays "Accenta G4 RKP F131-01-111". The 'power'…

Can you tell me please if the above panel allows for a timed silent alarm in order to let an TSD1+ Speech Dialler to kick in. Can you also tell me if the above panal comes with fitting and user instructions. Thanks. Derry.

Hi again, i should of asked in my original post, but does the above panal come with fitting and user instructions? Many thanks, Derry. p.s. this kit is

Hi there Sorry for my ignorance. Can you tell me the difference between Honeywells ADE Accenta Mini Gen 4 with LCd keypad (8SP399A) and The Honeyell ADE Accentta Poly Gen 4 with LCd Keypad (8SP411A) are they both compatable with the Honeywell easyset controller Kindest Regards and many thanks Terry

Installed above alarm several weeks ago, the one only problem I have not been able to resolve is that there is no option to part set the system using program 2. Program 1 is the main program so I've set up program 2 so the landing pir is not used and intended to use this program at night. The instructions say enter CODE press P and select program number in this case 2 but I press number 2 but nothing happens and it stays set on program 1. I also have an LCD keypad upstairs for use at night. One thing the instructions say is that "the installer has to program the system for part operation", I presume this mean program 2 has to be set up which I've done or am I missing s…

Hi can anyone help me, I have installed this alarm system myself and i can set it fully,however I cant part set it. I have gone through the programs ,program 1 does everything,program 2 i have set up to just do downstairs. I have gone through the manual and done as it says, but when i set the alarm it says that once the code is typed in and the countdown begins press 'P' and the tone will stop then press the program you wish ie. 2. But for me the countdown doesnt stop, I press 'P' and 2 and it does nothing and it still says program '1' on the LCD keypad. Please help before I use a hammer on it as it is very frustrating!!!!! Please help thanks

Hello I have A CRT800 domonial intruder alarm system, it came out of the house of my girlfriend (we are living together now) And I thought ill build it in our house, It has enough doorsensors IRsensors etc, TAG reader and 3 tags It was a system with a subscription with (S.....s) But I encounterd some difficulties, first I needed the program to reprogram the system, via via I found DOMOPC. This works, but the cable I had to make was an different problem, I made a cable with the pinlayout that came with the software, and I can see some communication between the program and the system, but it fails over and over. Can somebody help me with a original cable, I ho…

Will you be stocking the C079-2 RF portal? The only portal listed is the old one.

Hi, I had some problem getting the SMS work with the service provider here in sweden and therefore I'am thinking about using the internet and try to avoid using an ordinary alarm central. 1 Do you have any equipment I can use to send alarms via internet from my alarm panel? 2 Is there any crude variant where I can let the alarm call my mobile and I can get some status and maybe even control the panel with my mobile phone? Best reg.

Hello, I am looking to reset the 4 digit code on a Honeywell Domonial wireless alarm, does anyone know how I can do this? Thank you, Alun

Hello At present I have a hired alarm system (in Sweden) from Honeywell, the main central is a CMI8NE-SDI4G (with mobile as well as wired telephone connection) I will not renew the rental agreement when it ends soon, hence the CMI8NE-SDI4G will be returned to the company. All other Items such as one keypad (CSK8NE-SDI-, two smoke detectors (DTO600HF-, one PIR (IRX800HFCT- and one magnetic switch (DOD800HF- will stay as my property. I will like to buy a new main central and have found a CMI8UK-STD, will this be compatible with the items mentioned above, and can it all be programmed by using a TCU2-800 mobile keypad? Flemming

Hello, I am looking to purchase the Honeywell Galaxy 2-20 Wireless Starter Kit together with additional items (internal and external sounder, additional sensors, etc.). I am good with general electrical / electronics work but never installed alarms before. I can't find installation guide on the internet to see how easy will it be to install and configure the system. If you have installed this or similar system, could you please share your experience? Thanks

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, I have a Honeywell Galaxy 3 48 panel running V5.50 firmware. I've seen firmware for the Dimension 48 @ V6.79. Are these 2 panels the same and can I upgrade my panel to V6.79 firmware or are there hardware difference that cap my firmware @ V5.55? I always thought they were the same panel just with different firmware but after looking though info I'm no longer sure as to the compatibility. If I can upgrade, I'll purhcase the SPI key from security warehouse but will need some instructions on ow to perform the update. Thanks

Hi There! Possibly a stupid question but can you tell me if the Honeywell Galaxy Dimension GD-48C with Touchsceen Keypad Kit you list on the site includes the PSU. If not, can you recommend a suitable unit? Many thanks, Grant

hello. can anyone please tell me wwhere i can get the software from for my laptop to be able to programme a Honeywell Galaxy Dimension GD-520C thanks

hi can you please tell me if you get full programming book with this panel. thanks

Hey all, I recently moved out of a house that had a Galaxy G2 system. I have recently bought a Flex 20 for the new house we've just moved to, and everything is now working as expected apart from one thing I can't get my head around. On the old system, we had a Wireless Magnetic Sensor on the front door. This was set up so that when we Full Set the system, that Function was a FINAL zone. If we Night Set (or Part Set), the function was INTRUDER. This meant if the door was opened whilst in Night Set mode, an immediate alarm was triggered. If it was opened during full set, the entry time was triggered. To set this up, we could go into Engineer mode, into the Zone, in…
