What is the difference between the Texecom Veritas R8+ and the Veritas Excel??? According to the comparison chart there doesnt seem to be a difference in hardware? Is there a difference in software? If so what are these differences? Once again securitywarehouse* are the CHEAPEST by 68p with their competitors triton direct! Id use securitywarehouse though as you have good service!

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

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

We have had an electrician wire up the alarm and the alarm did go off when he tested it. When you set the alarm, however, it does not go off when you walk passed either of the 2 pir's fitted to the system. He has gone home and given up! any ideas??

Hi, I

Hi, I have a Castle care-tech euro mini and need to add another PIR to a FSL zone which already has a PIR. i.e. I need to wire two PIR's in series. Unfortunately the manual does not give any details how to do this and I have not found any helpful information on the net either. I would be most grateful if someone can point me in the right direction to achieve this. Thanks in advance. Mel.

This is similar to another post below, I too have a texecom veritas system which is faulty, I have called their support desk and there are unhelpful and ofter cut me off if they can't find a solution. I too am ready to replace, I have been looking everywhere and tempted to get a professional around to install a new system but prices are unjustifiable, four figures to takeover an existed wired system and replace the panels, I think I must be paying for the Nacass approval badge!! I am about replaced all my working PIRs with a Bosch BLP-1P pet friendly ones. I need to replace the system, the reason is the guy who installed it last year couldn't get the two bell boxes t…

Hi All, Fitted my new Scantronic 9448EUR-90 alarm panel. Everything fine. I now want to incorporate a smoke detector into the system(on the landing). Could you please advise me which of your detectors will work with my panel. Thanks, Stevec

hi, could anyone inform me to which type of battery to use in a scantronic 9448+ style pannel with the correct diamentions, many thanks smash0007.

Hi, I hope that you can help. I currently have a Texecom Veritas R8 wired system that is misbehaving and I am looking to change to a wireless system. I have recently decorated so do not want to start routing new cables and lifting carpets/floorboards. The house is a 3 bed semi, so I don't need the highest spec system. After reading several reports, I'm considering the Scantronic Homelink 55, although I am open to suggestions. The control panel is currently situated in a cupboard under the stairs and I intend locating this in the same place. However, I have a few questions. 1) I want a wireless remote keypad. Can the Homelink 55 operate with one, or do…

Hi I am looking for a movement detector - nom 12v NC contacts - that I can site externally but functions as per an internal unit. Is there such an item available Thanks Steve

Just bought a Powermax+ with some sensors and a GSM module. I wonder if I can connect both the control panel and the GSM module to the same powersupply, thus reducing the number of wires needed. One possible solution would be to connect the power to the control panel, and then another wire from the control panel (2 wires at the same connectionpoint) to the GSM module. Another way would be to use some sort of "Y" connection to route power to both consumers.

Hello, My alarm panel has packed up so I'm replacing it. The bellbox has seen better days so replacing that as well. My original was a Scantronic 9448 so am going for the 9448EUR-90 control panel but can't decide which bellbox to go for. I'm stuck between Novagard 2 Merit , Ventcroft Compact Classic & Ventcroft Evolution. I want to know are they all compatable with my alarm system and which are reccomended? Thanks

Any ideas where i can get hold of a menvier ts690r. i have a customer that has one that's gone faulty and would like it replaced with the same. The panel is no longer made so I'm on the hunt for someone that has a spare cheers

Hello Can securitywarehouse stock any ESP acousta's? Im after one with a blue lens. I have found one for

hi i had a scantronic 9448+ style installed a number of years ago which has worked perfectly, but since the main fuse was knocked, the mains light on the panel does not illuminate and the panel does not power up. However, there is now a couple of lights on behind the keypad, which had all gone off after the main fuse was knocked out. Also, after the main fuse was knocked out there was a few weak noises from the panel...these have since stopped. Even trying to key in our code, there is no audible sound or any changes to the state of lifelessness. Can you advise us on how to remedy this problem, or suggest a 'like for like' replacement? Yours smash0007

Can securitywarehouse tell me what the cheapest bellbox they can find is? I was thinking of the honeywell ag6 or the esp acouta, I can only find an esp acousta for a tenner but it has a red lens and not blue. Could securitywarehouse price one up??
