Intruder Alarms

I am looking for a home alarm system for both security and fire / carbon monoxide There are three bedrooms on the top floor, downstairs there is a hallway leading to the front door, a combined lounge / dining room 25m2 with windows at either end, kitchen with door to outside and a bathroom with a large window. The lounge will need to have a carbon monoxide detector fitted as it will contain a log burner. I would like to be able to mount the control unit away from the key pad and may in the future wish to add another keypad to go in the kitchen. I am very happy to have a wired system and install it myself as the whole house is being renovated at the moment but would w…

Looking to purchase key fob for LG six Honeywell alarm system part number SS/F/UB

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…

I purchased a Veritas Excel panel with LCD keypad (order number 18090). On powering up the system for the first time, the keypad remains blank and does not display any text. The three LEDs on the side are lit and the keypad is illuminated and accepts key presses. Am I missing a configuration step somewhere or is the keypad/panel faulty?

Hi Sales Can you issue a 'price-break' on the IS215T, 9651EN-43 & 9651EN-41 please?

I need some help to choose an alarm system. My house is approximately 230 sqM and in all doors and windows I have mounted wired magnetic sensors with 4 wires, 2 for when the window/door is opened and 2 for sabotage safety so you can

Hi, I wish to upgrade an old wired intruder system in a 4 bed detached house. I am looking for a simple to operate basic system so that next door neighbours can monitor it when I am away and gain access easily. I have chosen the components below which look suitable but am not sure about the pir sensors (no pets to worry about) or the sounders (would the basic sounder be adequate in a residential situation or should I go for the louder twin piezo unit?. There are other existing door switches that I shall re-use. Honeywell Logic 6 + additional fobs Yuasa NP2.1-12 battery Honeywel IS215T (or TCE?) (or Quest?) sensors Honeywell AG6 (or AG8?) sounder Can you please …

Hi, I've been looking into the Galaxy dimension system for my home for a few reasons, I need to protect the house and two out buildings and I like the IP/GPRS options. Now an oversight on my behalf is the use of RS485 between modules and remote panels, I'm used to systems like the the Honeywell G4. When doing up the house I've used 6 core standard cable, so my problem will be the cable to the remote panel by the front door. The length of this cable is under 10 metres, will I get away with this? As for the 2nd panel upstairs and a powered RIO out in the garage I can easily run cat5 cable. I don't normally ask questions like this but this cable has been run and plastere…

Can you please confirm if I can connect my euro 76 panel using R/S 232 loom to my PC Also do I need tobuy converter to USB as my pc does not have serial connections

I was thinking of getting a wireless alarm like powermax with a GSM backup (think it is a good feature to get events sent by sms when kids come home from school and so on). Main reason to have a wireless is that it is easy to install. I have a house with 5 rooms on the groundfloor. There are 11 windows and 4 doors. The thing is that I have a dog and a cat. Weight of the dog is 33kg. So the questions are. 1. Are the pet IR detectors reliable? They say up to 38 kg so is should be ok, but want to avoid false alarms. 2. If I want protect all windows, what would be the best method. Switches and vibrations sensors on all? It will be rather expensive... 3. I've r…

hi, could anyone inform me to which type of battery to use in a scantronic 9448+ style pannel with the correct diamentions, many thanks smash0007.

Can you please tell me which fire detectors to install in a new house,they are to be connected to the fire zones on the Accenta G4 alarm system I bought from you previously.

I would like to fit an auto dialer with my system. The dialer I have chosen is the Honeywell ADE Informa Speech Dialler, the I have 4 different zones, what would be the best complete system to use with the dialer? I prefer a wiered system with panic button and anything else I should take into account? Any help would be much appriciated.

I have purchase from Security Warehouse an ADE Honeywell Easy Set Unit with an ADE Honeywell Accenta Metal Gen 4. The instructions for the Easy Set provide Wiring Details for connection to a G3 and an Accenta 8 Panel, but there is no wiring and program changes for a Gen 4. How is the wiring configured and what program changes are necessary. Our Reference Secware 3 sent 19.45 on the 5th of November.

Hi , about to place order and wondering main difference between accenta mini panel gen4 and standard poly gen 4 (other than size)

Hi All, Fitted my new Scantronic 9448EUR-90 alarm panel. Everything fine. I now want to incorporate a smoke detector into the system(on the landing). Could you please advise me which of your detectors will work with my panel. Thanks, Stevec

I just received my Visonic Tower PIR, and I'm nut quite sure it is operation correctly. I installed the PIR as per instructions, about 2,3 meters up and with an angle setting of 5. This should give me at least a +/- 10 meter 90 degrees coverage. While in test mode it already showed "blank" areas where detection failed, and fully operational it will erractically detect motion (I keep in minde the 2 minute reset period after initial motion detection). Sometimes it will only detect motion within a few inches, sometimes not at all. I would be grateful for advice in this matter. Regards,

Hi! Can anyone give me a reason to why my PowerMax+ have started to set off "Trouble alarms". Almost the same alarms every time. I need guidance in what to look for. When I check the log, it shows: * System jammed * Line Failure * AC failure (only the first time and the power were on all the time) and then * RF Restore So far it has happened twice in a month. Both times when the alarm is off (the first time the alarm were set off half a minute after disarming the alarm from HOME setting, the second time about 30 min after disarming AWAY. First time, the alarm were reset while I was checking the log (less than 2 min after the alarm set off), the second time i…

SInce i live in Sweden i have a Swedish system. Its a Visonic with a builtin GSM. Not sure what that model i called in UK since the alarm doesn

I bought a new DT7550UK2 from you last week to replace an existing faulty one. The existing one is a DT7550UK so assume this must be the older version. Looking at the existing wiring, it is wired as follows F1 - empty F2 - empty T1 - resistor to C T2 - yellow C - resistor back to T1 and to NC EOL - empty NC - resistor to C and blue V- - black V+ - Red Both resistors have the following bands (Brown, Black, Black, Brown, Brown) or I guess could be (Brown, Brown, Black, Black, Brown)? Looking at the installation instructions for the new one, it implies I should not use the existing resistors and wire up as above. Is this the case? Also, will the factory …

The instructions for this unit says that if the settings are changed the unit must be reset at the control Panel. I purchased these units to replace my existing unit and therefore do not have a Honeywell control unit or any functionality to reset PIRs. Can you tell what the reset process is? The anti - mask function, sounds a bit like anti-tamper, do you see any reason why the anti tamper and anti-mask relay out puts cannot be connected in series and both be in the anti-tamper circuit?

I am looking to find the best option for a complex installation. Any expert recommandation on any of the following issues would be very helpfull and highly rewarded! - the system should accomodate wireless outdoor detectors incl. cameras for video/or image transmission to a surveillance company. - the system should be able to accomodate both wireless and wired connections with about 30 wireless units to be connected and be secured against external perturbation and shall be able to trigger a silent alarm in case of outdoor detection (incl. video or transmission to the surveillance company) and a normal alarm in case of indoor intrusion detection (also with indoor vide…
