Intruder Alarms

please i am wanting to buy the scantronic 55 system however i have some questions - does this have a phone out feature via sim card or by bt line if it is triggered. does this accept pir / door contacts that have been used for an optima honeywell hard wired system since it is an 'hybrid' system... so that i might replace the optima and buy the wireless pir as and when i can. essentially i need a wireless system for a domestic use where i would have around 5 pir and couple of door contacts and smoke alarm external bell and key fob - is there anything other than the homelink 55 that is also suitable and fairly straightforward to use - set up and around

hello i am looking for a alarm system which will protect my home and garage .also a cctv system with hard drive.thks adam

Hello! I have recently purchased the above alarm panel kit from you as part of an intruder alarm system, which i put together using your website and purchased on the 3rd March 2010. I have received a user manual however I also require the engineers/installation manual. As the payment has cleared am I able to download this manual from your website and if so can you advise me how? I am keen to install the system as soon as possible so if you could get back to me as soon as you can it would be much appreciated. Regards! Cspudfire.[/color]

I need to connect three smoke detectors to my existing Texecom 48 system. I don't want to run cables back to the panel, so I planned to connect the detectors to an expander, which would be connected to the spare cable sitting in the loft which was already taken back to the panel when the system was installed. I want to avoid using a power supply with the expander if possible. I do not have any other expanders on the system currently. About 14 zones on the Texecom 48 are used. What are the options, and would I be better off running three separate cables from th epanel to the loft? It will be a pain in the a*se mind.

Hi I have just ordered a texecom odyssey 3E bellbox. I was going to buy a 4E but the neighbours strobe is totally invisible in daytime so you cant identify where the irritating wailing originates from unless you live next-door!!! How bright are the strobes on these units? Can I have it so it is powered ONLY from the panel (accenta G4) and not the internal battery? Is any fixing equipment included such as wall plugs etc..? oh and is the strobe LED or xenon??? Has anybody got datasheets for this unit that I could read up on?? Can't seem to find any!

Hi, We are having false alarm trouble with one sensor in our already installed alarm. We have sensitivity set at the lowest possible level. This GS611 shock sensor with reed switch is mounted horizontally on the top right of an external glass door frame (on the frame not the door) - it is a back door and rarely used. I cannot find (anywhere in the UK/Ireland) that will sell me a replacement, I can get one from the states but shipping is 90$+ (!) My question is, do you know of a compatible replacement shock sensor/reed switch that I could source in the UK?? For example from securitywarehouse would this wor…

Hello all, I fitted an alarm system a few years ago and put contact breakers on my windows. To save on wiring I "shared" the different wires within the 6 core cable I used between 2 zones, with a common tamper circuit, on the rear of my property. I have now had sliding sash windows fitted which have made the contacts unsuitable. I was thinking of replacing them with vibration detectors but noticed that some have LED's. I assume this means that they need a power source to operate - the same as the wiring for a PIR detector. Are non-powered vibration detectors available or will I have to rewire with 8 core in order to maintain my zone separation? Thanks for any help…

i'm trying to pay for this order, how do i do that? i would like to pay by phone if possible. please advise. I have tried ringing you, but your system seems not to like one-to-one contact.

Can someone please help me with my problem noted in my last post, i have been sitting next to my computer for over an hour just so I can pay for my order when i realy do have other things to attend to! # i dont know why you just can't have a real person answer your phones to sort this kind of stuff out.

Hi, I am having part of my garage converted into a small room with access only from a outside door. I would like to add this room to my 9448+ by adding a new zone. Can I add a door switch, movement sensor and extra keypad to this system? also I would like to set the alarm for this room at all times even when we are in, however we part set the alarm at night arming the downstairs zones. Would it be possible to part set the alarm and the new zone or will I have to manually omit the upstairs zones at night leaving the downstairs and the new room armed?

The Visonic Powerlink which enables internet access for Visonic Powermax alarm seems to be very difficult to get hold of! I see you have it on this website but it is out of stock. Do you know 1) When it will be in stock. 2) Can it be bought without any cameras (sold with one here) as it is quite expensive and I just want to have the internet access. I already have other cameras.

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.

Can you please advise me on the best battery choice for the above system so I may place my order, and advise me on estimated delivery times. Many thanks. Derry.

Hi all, Hi, I hope you can help, I have the optima compact gen4 and I would like to change the entry time but cant find the codes from engineers mode. Can you tell me how to change it or point me in the right direction to find it. Thank you Jiroma

Hi, i am wondering if anyone could tell me what the bell terminals are on the euro 12 board and also could i use a euro mini keypad on this system ? thanks liam

Hello I'm looking to see if anyone can help I've recently bought a eurosec cpx control panel and I was wondering if I need to wire an additional power supply so I can connect the 7 pir's and 4 shocktec door contacts, Or is it possible to power them via the aux 12v. The pir's nominal current is 16mA and the door cont's 7.5mA, according to my calculations this will over-load the system. If so can anyone recommend a suitable add. power supply so I can split the load.

I have accenta mini gen4 with two lcd keypads Master Bedroom (part sets)and Front Door and a Simple Set reader at the Back Door. All wired to go with front and rear contacts. Test the system while installing.... stage by stage Stage one: Install contacts to front and rear, wire back to panel, no tamper(s) to fiddle with Install lcds and Simpleset,find the obligatory tamper loop lock-out on powering up. Remove three wires from both tamper ports and separate into series wiring. Power up fine... disable alarm at MB RKP. Power and day lights ok. and back downstairs Front door RKP as MB Power and Day lights Okay. Back Door Simple Set Power Light no other …

I have got risco cpx and at times it would reboot itself, sometimes it could restart in 5 minutes and at time it can go on for days without doing it, I have seen it doing it and when it does happen the external bell will go off for 2-3 seconds and the panel will come up with default date/time, the only thing I can see in the log is watchdog reset. I am getting concerned now, not sure what could be wrong, if this was to do with any pir then it should have reported it but don't thing any pir could bring this down (or could it) I am after advice on how to troubleshoot this? but because this problem may go away for days I won't even know if whatever I have done would fix …

I am currently using standard 2 wire (common tamper) and have linked the unused zones which seems to be working but the engineer manaul says 9(eol) wiring is more secure, I am thinking of changing it to use eol wiring(I am using eurosec PIR without fault or mask terminal), if I do this then it would leave me 2 unused zones plus unused tamper(which becomes 9th zone), do I need to link them as before or do I need to link them using some 4k7 resistors as the other zones? also in the engineer manual it says you should select 9(eol) in the wiring option(page 23 of manual) and then normal (standard gardtec wiring configuration without mask or fault detection) but then it says i…

Hi Security Warehouse, I have been trying to re-commission my SD1+ after it being disconnected for several months. However, I cannot enter any 'user code' because buttons 1,2 and 3, (also A), do not respond when pressed. I would appreciate your help please. Regards, Chris Wills.

Hi, The strobe light in my Reson8 Bell Box will not stop flashing after fitting my new Mini Gen4 control panel. I've tried everything & double, triple & quadruple checked the wiring, spent hours trying to fathom it out, but it still flashes. I've had to disconnect the -strobe wire to stop the flashing. My conclusion is that there must be a fault with my new Mini Gen4 panel. Have you any thoughts please? Thanks David

I Think that I require, Control panel (can be hidden under stairs) 1-off Nice looking Lcd keypad (for front door) 1-off keypad (for rear door) 3-off wired Quad PIR for inside 2-off wired Dual tech PIR for outhouse (extreme cold/heat). 3-off internal Door contacts. 1-off garage Door contacts. Panic Button Txt or voice dialler Listen in function Dial in to arm/disarm would be nice or over web via phone? It would be good if the alarm had wired and wireless zones in case I need to upgrade after the floors went down I really like the Honeywell Galaxy Dimension GD-48C with Touchsceen Keypad Kit, but is it over kill? What would you get? Thanks in advance…

Hello I have a veritas control panel and key pad with a wired intruder alarm system. The power circuit tripped and now I have the \"unlock\" light flashing. Until this is sorted I cannot set my alarm. Can you help please. Regards Roger Bell
