Intruder Alarms

My new house was pre-wired for a hard wired alarm which I planned to fit myself. The guy who run the cabling did a good job except he did not wire for contacts on the doors. There is no chance to wire them now as I cannot run cables thrugh the dry wall panels. My solution I think is something like a Homelink 55 I will have 6 PIR, three door contacts, and two RKP's as I have a point upstairs for night setting the system. Can I add a second 9943 RKP to the Homelink 55 ? The Homelink 55 has 6 wired zones which would cover the PIR's. I hope I could use wireless contacts for the rest. Prox tags would also be a nice addition. Grateful for any advic…

We moved into our house previously without pets but with one of the above alarm panels. I need to replace three PIR with pet friendly ones. You advertise the Scantronic 430, is this compatible with the 9450 panel. Also I wanted to install a dialler but it seems that you are out of stock of all diallers. If there is one that is compatible with my control panel could you please let me know. Also I would like a clue as to how to wire up the dialler to my panel.

Hi, I am trying to connect an AG6 sounder to an ADE Logic 6 panel (supplied by you) but the instructions supplied by both units are not clear and the AG6 instructions do not even conform to the suppied unit. The Logic 6 panel connections are - strobe - strobe + scb T scb A bell+ D bell- B The sounder AGL connections are - ST- R- SW- V+ V- Can you please advise how these should be connected

I'm look for some shock sensors (to be fitted to window frames) preferably wired and that work with DSC PC range. I was looking at the Aritech GS612 but I've not had much joy with it albeit the door sensor with magnet works fine.

I have a Simon3 alarm 433mhz and was wondering if your advertised sensor (Risco wisdom wireless door sensor 433mhz sensor)will work as a replacement and should the simon3 alarm learn this new sensor?

My keypad has given up the ghost with some butons not working so I cannot disable the alarm with the code. I've taken off the keypad and it has 4 wires connected. It looks very simple to replace so is it simply a case of buying a replacement and installing in the same manner? When I reconnect the power and the alarm starts going, I should be able to enter my code and all is back to normal? Or is it more complicated than that? I've been quoted for a replacment & fitting but it seems such a simple job to do yourself. Do I need to be aware of anything else?

Please can you clarify whether it is possible to have the Receiver and the Transmitter running on/from different power supplies. We have asituation where the alarm power supply cannot be supplied to the transmitter but can be to the receiver, so in theory it will function. If it is possible, do you have such a power supply - we assume a plug in transformer will do.

Hi, I was wondering if anyone could help me decide on a simple & effective alarm system. What I need is listed below. 1) 1 door contact 2) Minimum 2 PIR's (wired or not) 3) Key fob to de/activate alarm 4) Some sort of notification on activation (email, text/call) 5) camera that can record images/video when there is motion and the ability to send the images to a phone AND be viewable over the internet Ideally, I'd like the system to be controllable remotely and have as little wiring as possible. I have made allowance for 2 cat5 cables to the 2 known Camera/PIR locations. (Depending on the cost, I might also include a door peephole camera - again, I'…

I have concept 6 alarm panel with a remote keypad that is starting to go faulty.do you have a compatible ADE keypad that I can replace it with.

I have a Scantronic 9651 bought from you a few years ago. It's worked fine till the PA alarmed the other morning for no reason - i.e. it wasn't pressed. I put a new battery in it Feb 2014, probably the last time I opened it up. When I put the engineer's code in, in order to open up the PA to check it, rather than going into engineer mode it said "User code reqd". Odd?! Anyway, I then put the User Code in and it said "Set". This is not normal behaviour - any ideas? Thanks,

i have a client with a texecom 48 and wants some smoke detectors now some people say run alarm cable but i would of thought it be better to use the red fire rated cable?

Hi Could you tell me what passive would replace this one as it has 3 extra connections to the normal 6. These are marked C+ , E- , and FTA. There is a wire looped from the power minus connection to the FTA connection and a brown wire in the cable connected to the C+ connection. What is the purpose of these extra connections ? The reason for replacement is that this passive leaves the led indicator on permanently which doesn't seem correct. I have always used risco quads in my own setup and they seem very reliable. Would one of these fit the bill ? The panel is a Scantronic 9800. Hoping someone can point me in the right direction for a replacement. Thanks in a…

Hello there i recently purchased some optex -70 sensors from yourself for replacement of the obsolete optex 100 plus ones. On going to install them I found that the old ones have more wires eight as the new 70 ones only have six. So I was looking to see if there is a way to convert the old ones to the new

What USB to 232 cables are people using for G2 compatibility? It seems that my dimension USB cable will not play ball with the G2 panel. Works fine for dimension panels and associated 232 cable, just not the G2 panel and cable., Thanks John

Hi, I am looking to upgrade my home alarm system and after reviewing your forum have a few questions that I hope you can help me with so that I order to correct system (and compatible components). Essentially, I have a new build with the developer fitted DCS Alarm branded as British Gas which seems to not meet any of my requirements. Basically I am hoping to upgrade this to something more usable and compatible with pets i.e. something that I can adjust zones (regions) as I see fit as the dog is quite large. I have contacted 3 of the larger installers in my area and given that two never kept their appointment and the other quoted just under

I purchased the above from you as a replacement for one in which some of the pressure pads are not working. When installed, will the new unit retain my original 4 digit code?

Can you tell me if I were to buy 2 or 3 different system PIR's would they all work in any alarm system. I have a system fitted that requires additional PIR units for more protection. I have had a home security police team look over my house. I would be grateful for any advice on this matter.

My alarm installer went missing last year and has left me with an alarm system that doesn't seem to be operating smoothly. He left me an engineers installation manual but the grandmaster code he wrote down doesn't work. So I took the panel off the wall and carried out the steps detailed in the Agility 3 manual page 17. When reconnecting power it makes the panel announce a tamper error and refuses to do anything on the keypad. Putting DIP switch 3 back in to the on position stops the errors but wont let me change PIN codes in the grandmaster menu. So i'm stuck at the moment.... what's the missing steps to complete a reset and change of the enginee…

I’ve got a customer who wants a zone removing and an extra door contact adding to an existing hardwired system. Is there an converter or interface panel that can sit aside the control box and run a wireless zone? Any advice would be welcome.

I have just orderd a ADE Optima gen4 8 zone from you. It will replace a c&k Active 5. I have the Engineers code for engineering mode. The problem is I can not stop the bell box from sounding when I disconect the bell wiring or when I try to open the bell box. The bell box was fitted and suppled by Abacus and is about 3 years old. I hope you can advise . Kind regards
