Intruder Alarms

Hi, I have recently installed electrically operated automatically opening curtains. These are triggering my alarm if it is set when the curtains open. Can you recommend a different PIR to the one above which will get around this problem please? Thanks

if you tech guys could answer this question for me it would be good. i have a customer who wants a small intruder alarm system in his outbuilding, im looking at using the scantronic 9651 en. what the customer does want tho is a chime function on an external detector (so he knows when someone is approaching when he is in the back room) this detector does not want to be on the alarm system when set. can it be programed as not used but still with a chime? or am i going to have to put a smaller panel up to (scanny 9488) just to use the chime function and to keep it seperate from the intruder alarm? hope this makes sense ... and i hope you can help. regards ..H

Which hardwired detectors (PIR-movement detector, magnetic contact, siren, smoke detector and siren) are compatible with the powermax+ unit?

Can you tell me if there is any benefit to having an mcs-730 over a mcs-710 other than being 10db louder?

Hi there I'm thinking about installing the Telecom Elite Premier 48 in our home and I'd like to use the Connect communicator module. This module requires firmware version 4 but the SW website indicates that control panel is supplied with version 3. Is this the case, or is the website out of date? If it does come with version 3 then can it be upgraded and how? Are any extra parts such as PC communicator boards required? Many thanks Guy

Would any one have a manual for the panel. The one I'm working on is about 8 years old. Cant find a manual anywhere, want to check the manual before I condemn it! Thanks

I have a Veritas alarm believed to be the r8 which is around 12 years old and ready for an upgrade. Is it possible to use the lcd keypad as an additional rkp on this unit or do I need to stick with the original keypad with led's? Helps would be appreciated. I don't really want to upgrade the main pcb etc. Thanks.

Intrested in an Honeywell Domonial control panel with an LCD Radio Keypad c/w built in prox reader. I have some questions below... Is battery included in control panel? How much for an GSM-module? Is it included an "real" installation- and configuration manual? - if not, can I buy it from you? I read at Honeywell that the latest version seams to be "CME8UK-STD-7G" - is that the same version that you deliver?

I'm looking for a domestic alarm that supports 2 zones (one hardwired (ground floor) with 4 PIRs, one wireless (first floor) with 3 or 4 PIRs) + 2 keypads + keyfobs + a control panel that can dial out (PSTN or other). What can you recommend which is good value for money?

HI can you tell me when or if you will have the new Agility panel from Risco. Thanks

Hi I need to default and reprogram an Avanti LC 8 zone alarm panel, it has an LED remote keypad and plastic end station. Building has been empty for some time and it was completely powered down. We have no record of any of the previous codes....anyone got an installation manual please?

Hi, I have recently naively purchased and installed a powermaster 33 alarm unit along with the IP Powerlink 3 module and a camera PIR. I thought it would be as simple as install, get it working, attach to the network and link with the app. I see this in not the case. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I have done some more googling and found from the visonic website links to the powermanage and powermaster interactive side of things. They mention having a CMS or remote management company... I just want to run some software from my Mac(which is on all the time) and access via the app... Any advice grateful Thanks

Hi, what pir would you recommend to cover windows inside a curtain, that wolud able to be set when a person is moving around the house. I do not want to fit inertia shock sensors on the windows.

Can you please advice me on what system i shall use? I'm out after an alarm system that has at least 3 zones (1 for intrusion, 1 for fire, 1 for water leakage) for a 2 story house, preferably which own output channels and which is possible to connect to the internet. Maybe for intrusion i should have 3 zones, like inside, perimeter and outside? Sensors i will need are: Burglary (movement - with windows breakage?), fire sensors and water leakage sensors to put in sensitive areas. I have been looking at the honeywell which seems good, but can you please give me some suggestions on good systems?

Hi All, I have a Galaxy Flex 20 panel installed with x10 PIR's, x2 door contacts, SMS & ethernet module. I need somebody with Galaxy Flex knowledge to commission all of the above (including GXRemote app). Please PM me if interested with anticipated costs. Cheers G

Have Risco removed the ability to show the status on the LCD keypad? I've made sure that the Keypad is installed onto the system, but when I go into the Programming Custom Screens menu, It shows LCD Status = None. When I say NO, it just moves on to LED Status, and doesn't give me the option to change the setting to Full (for status always on) or Set/Unset which it always used to!! Is there another setting I need to alter first before I'm allowed to change the "display the status" setting?? Any help appreciated

Wondering if the Knight Double Push PA Stainless Steel is a Grade3 or if you have any grade3 buttons in stock? Also, rough idea of P&P (2.1kgs)to Republic of Ireland for 3 PA Buttons 2 Viper GLX 1 Calibration tool

Hi, My friend has gone away and has had a power cut. She has a Scantronic 9448+ alarm system. The front panel is 9427 style. We can not reconnect her power as the alarm keeps sounding off. How do we re set her alarm in order to turn her power back on?

I want to place an order. We would like to change our G2-44+ for a GD 48. First i want to ask, can we move the settings from the G2-44 to GD 48 or do we need to set all settings when install? Can we buy a RS232-wiring and do it from a computer or do we need to purchase a sw to do it? Or is it free from honeywell? If not free, can we program all from the MK7?

Hi, I have just received 5 x Pet Detectors PIR's (Texecom Prestige). Why don't they have brackets? The Prestige DT PIR's that I ordered a while ago from elsewhere came with brackets, so I assumed these would. Even the blurb on the box's suggests that they include brackets, although a sticker has also been placed on each box to say that they are available separately? I appreciate that some might not recommend brackets for installs, but for this particular job I wanted them... Any ideas..... Thanks, Chris
