I was thinking about additional shock or contact protection for UPVC french doors in the kitchen at the back of the house. I'll have a PIR covering the kitchen area already, it's only a small one, but was thinking about something like the Viper GLX contacted sensor. I know that obviously shock sensors work better/best on a wooden framed doors/windows and obviously UPVC frames are affected by heat expansion etc. What are you thoughts on it, would you recommend it? Or just stick with contacts instead. Thanks in advance.

I've a customer with a veritas R8 plus alarm system, which is not working. The keypad / control has the set & tamper lights lit, but none of the indicator lights. They've had a couple of people look at it, & although one company changed the battery which corrected the problem for about 6 weeks. It is now the same the control panel battery is showing 12.7v on the meter . The keypad does not appear to be functioning correctly as when some buttons are pressed they operate 2 buttons at once. I'm thionking of changing the panel, but also wondered if it could be a problem with the battery in the outside alarm box. I wondered if you have come across this problem before, …

I have a PowerMAx complete wireless alarm system installed in the house. I was wanting to add an additional wireless siren (the system can handle a maximum of 2). I already have the MCS -740 wireless alarm and was hoping to purchase the wired version of this alarm, the MCS-730AC. Can you check for system compatibility. The version number of the panel is: JS702159 B.17.107 JS700421 V.1.0.02

Hi there, I am currently in the process of renovating a house and I am looking to install a fire detection system that not only meets building regulations for a three-story house but also offers higher protection than the minimum LD3 level. In the past, I have used a Honeywell Galaxy panel with fire zones, but that was a few years ago, and I am sure there have been advancements since then. I've been considering the C-Tec Hush Pro solution, but I'm concerned about nearing the 16-device limit. Running the cables around the house in a single run seems feasible, especially with the ceilings down and floors up, but I'm wondering if a larger 2-wire panel with a loop p…

Looking to fit a low cost wire alarm into a small 2 bed house. Need 2x door contacts, 2 PIR and 1 sounder. Ideally I would prefer a seperate small keypad, as there is little room in the hall for the panel, and would like to add in 2 smoke detectors. Price is key, could anyone recommend a panel or kit.

We have an old Scantronic 500r. Reading the specs for an additional PIR (534r) and Vibe sensor (520r) suggests different possible frequencies. I understand the UK is 433 MHz, but the spec for the 534r shows "520REUR-50" as the model number. Given other info on your website I'm worried that the "EUR" and "UK" models are different frequencies. How ca nI check what ours operates at and can we specify that when ordering?

Hi I need to replace my current wired alarm system.. I have a mains wired alarm with wired connections. I have a couple of PIR's that are wired, which I see no reason to replace as the cables are hidden. I would like to add additional pirs wireless. I can see execom Kit 3 32 Zone Self-Contained Wireless Kit which looks like it can take 4 wired zones. So I could install this on my current set-up and add wirless pir's to additional rooms. I have a couple of questions. How is the alarm disabled. Is it on the control panel? I see it comes with 2xPremier Elite SmartKey. What exactly is this? Can this disable the alarm without having to put in a code? I have 2 children which I …

i was thinking that i could use some wire and connect the auxiliary input of MC-302E PG2 with a outdoor PIR sensor but i don't know if this could be done.I was thinking of the OPTEX BX80 NR (maybe if it fits i install the MC302E PG2 inside the BX80NR)cause i can't imagine a way to have my balcony covered (12x2,4m) with the TOWER 20AM PG2. Do you think i could do such a thing? or what other option i have to cover this area with Visonic compatible product ?
