Intruder Alarms

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

(Apologies to those who have seen this post already. I realised that I had posed it on the wrong board.) Hi, I'm looking to purchase an alarm system. Currently my short list of panels are:- Texecom VERITAS EXCEL ADE Accenta Mini Gen4 Scantronic 9651 I was hedging on towards the 9651 until I read about a 'engineer code guard feature' that doesn't seem to work. Here is the link where I stumbled across this issue. Sorry it's a bit long, but towards the end of the page they say that it is a software problem although not openly admitted by the manufacturer. http://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/lofiversion/index.php?t24279-0.html I suppose on…

I am having difficulty in setting up this unit. My main exit entry is via zone 5 full set A. At night the main exit rout is via zone 2 and set with B. The problem is that if you enter through zone 5 when part set in B the system does not recognise zone 5 is open. Can anyone help?

Does anyone know anything about this alarm system? It just keeps setting itself off without us setting the alarm. Its keeping us up at night and im getting desperate. Someone please help with any knowledge at all. Oh and it doesnt let us reset the system at all!

The Scantronic alarm is situated in the hallway and the past couple of days an alarm keeps going off. It seems to happen when we close the door leading into the hallway or sometimes we do nothing to set it off. The error on the log says "Z01 TAMPER", so there is tampering in zone 1 but the installer didnt inform us on the zones in the house or even how many zones there are in the house. I would be tempted to omit the Zone 1 from the system, but I would be worried as I am guessing it is the zone that encompasses the front door/hallway. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

When fitting a Scantronic 9651 panel recently I noticed it had a rechargeable battery soldered onto the PCB. I guess this is to maintain settings it case of total power failure/disconnection. Does this have a design life of 5 years like most other re-chargeables?? If so it doesn't look like it was designed to be easily replaced. And how would you know it needed replacing anyway - until it's too late? Phil.

Hi, I recently fitted a scantronic panel and key pad for my parents after there old alarm system went faulty, I could do with some help programming the Scantronic: 1) Door chimes I am unsure weather this has to be activate in the engineers menu and how ? 2) Part Set for night time, I am also unsure how to disable the landing PIR and make it so they have time to access the key pad down on the hall way that is covered by another PIR. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Hi I've installed the Scantronic 9651 with RKP 9940. and wired the panic button off the RKP but when i test the panic button, it doesn't work, any ideas i have two installs doing the same. San

Having just commissioned a 9651 I've been testing out event logging for the system. I isolated the mains supply, hopping to invoke a mains fail alert. The RKP recorded the event properly, but interrogation of the event log showed no mains fail alerts. I carried out this mains fail test for both set and unset modes with the same result. Do I have to enable logging for this type of event somehow, or should it be enabled automatically? Or perhaps there's a timer on mains fail events and I didn't leave the mains off long enough? Any ideas? thanks John

What battery do you recommend for this combination? Does the 9651EN-43 include a speaker? If not can you recommend one? Thanks John

I have a Scantronic 9800 keypad acting as the main control (I have a second unit at the back door) The number 3 pad is not working, please suggest a solution as I understand this panel is no longer available. Regards

Hello I need a little bit of help, I did purchase all the kit from you, my query is, what terminals do I use on my control panel to wire my sounder, Control Panel is a 9651 and the Sounder is a Texecom Odyssey 2. the examples in the installion manual don't refer to this sounder and the print is very small.

I have changed the battery in both of my arming stations and now the Homelink 75 does not see them, I have followed the instructions in the Installation & Programming guide, but am currently baffled where it states to activate the tamper switch on the arming station, but where is the tamper switch? I have tried pressing each button, two buttons together, removing the back so as to disconnect the battery, still the panel does not see the arming station. I have checked the battery voltage which is 3v as they are new batteries. None of the arming station lines- 1 to 4 in the display panel has an icon against it. Even my alarm service engineer who had no…

Hi, just bought one of these, does anyone know the default Username and Password to enable me to gain access to the panel via its web interface? Ta.

I am having problems with my scantronic intruder alarm system, and is having problems to find some one in my area to fix it. Would you have a list of repaires in my area which is in upper edmonton London N18. Thanking you Michael

Was wondering if anybody has detail for the Scantronic Plug-in footprint used by the 960? I wanted to hook this speech dialer up to an alarm that does not have the Scantronic footprint. If I could get hold of the spec for the two connectors of the 960 I could then jury rig a connector (or spade terminals) to tease out the 4 standard triggers as well as the line fail signal. I could also take care of any other inputs that need to be dealt with. Any ideas? I've done an extensive web search for detail of the footprint but have not found anything. Thanks John

The Scantronic Sounder External Wired Backplate, SDR-WEXT-G2, installed a few years ago worked perfectly until about a week ago, when I noticed that the 'comfort LEDs' had stopped working. On further investigation the unt does not sound the siren when an alarm condition is triggered, although the internal Scantronic 9651PD does. On opening the external sounder box its cover tamper switch does not trigger the external siren but again it does trigger the 9651PD. On further investigation, the internal battery of the external sounder is fully charged, therefore I suspect the sounder circuit board is faulty. Are replacement circuit boards available for this unit as I don't…

A couple of weeks ago I bought a Scantronic 9651EN-41 (9651 c/w 9941) panel from you. Having now installed it I'm surprised that the transformer in the panel has a noticeable hum/buzz. The problem is that the panel is located in the living room rather than out of the way in the attic or similar. It is where it is because I wanted to do a straightforward replacement for a Menvier stand-alone(ie no RKP) panel that had gone on the blink, with minimum re-wiring. Is this hum/buz normal? The Menvier was totally silent.

can you please give me the dimensions of this speaker? thanks

Hi, I purchased the above kit from yourselves just over a week ago. I am trying to wire the bellbox to the control panel, however, the connections listed in the Intellisense AG6 leaflet differ from those on the actual PCB. The manual lists TR- V- ST- V+ S- but the PCB has ST R SW V+ V- So can you tell me what to connect to where on the Accenta G4 panel? Regards, Warren

Hi, Just to be sure, how do I wire the SECWARE BCINTRA/W/B to the Texecom Premier 88 panel? Like Texecom - Secware 12V + = 12V + 12V - = 12V - Bell - = ? Tamp = ? Strb - = ? Do I need other connections e.a. strobe to 12V+? And do I need to set some settings in wintex to work? Thanks in advance.

just a quick question might sound daft but need to know never the less. does the secware sound bomb wire into the extension speaker terminals?? ive never worked with these before. ASDGROUP

Hi All, I have an old Siemens IC60 panel with 3 wired keypads, 3 wired sensors, plus some wireless stuff (Sensors, Smoke detectors, keyfobs etc..) I also have some z-wave and 433 home automation stuff running under vera edge and domoticz. I am looking to upgrade this to something more modern. My main requirements: - IP connectivity so I can monitor remotely - 3 wired keypads - Images / video on movement when armed - but want to avoid standard IP WIFI cameras inside my home. - Easier to arm / disarm (RFID, keyfobs, Bluetooth proximity etc) - Ability to view video / images without a phone - If I am in bed, and the alarm tr…

Hello, I wonder if you may be able to help. We decided upon the security firm to upgrade our existing alarm as they offered what we thought suited us better than the other three firms wanted to install. However, three weeks later we are thinking maybe we should have used someone else. Just one of the queeries I had, and asked about was the actual calibration of the shock sensors, I was told thay are fine, they work as they are, they don't need any adjustment. I seem to recall many many many years ago seeing an installer spending a good while going through each room calibrating each and every shock sensor, maybe this is not required and technology has moved on…
