Intruder Alarms

Just installed the Accenta G4 panel and all worked well. a few days later a fault occured to the entry/exit. Problem is break to the pair of contact wire. Replace with the spare and makes and break but the problem is the panel does not register open/close of the contact but ok with the multimeter. Another factor that I can assume is new carpet was fitted and wonder if the fitter damaged the cable which I think would be most likely as it was all working fine before the carpet was fitted. No short between contact wire and tamper wire. Any help would be grateful. I will run a temp cable this weekend and see what happens.

Hi - I am planning a wireless domestic alarm installation for my home: 2 x PIR detector 1 x Dual tech (PIR & MW) detector* 2 x door contact sensors 1 x shock sensor* 1 x contact & shock sensor* 1 x control panel 1 x remote keypad 3 x RF key fob controls 1 x voice dialler (perhaps SMS support too) 1 x external sounder (can be wired) 1 x external sounder decoy I have read good reviews of Texecom equipment for reliability, price and ease of installation and was hoping to build the system using their products, by siting a RadioPlus Intelligent Receiver centrally and running a wire to a Premier control panel in a cupboard downstairs. However, I don'…

Hi, I'm fitting a Honeywell Galaxy G2-20 at the moment (4th installation of the galaxy range) and usually would just fit a dialler however i saw the CSL Dualcom for sale on SW:- http://www.securitywarehouse.co.uk/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2438 It says that the first years monitoring is included, i'm just wondering who the ARC is, how the registration is completed and the ongoing yearly costs. Thanks Peter

I purchased a galaxy kit in January, just getting round to installing it. The manual doesn't tell you the engineer code, is there anyway of setting it when you first boot it or is there a master code I need to carry out the install. If so could you send me the code? Thanks,

Just bought a eco1002 fire sensor to add to my accenta mini g4 but cant figure what to wire to what Can anyone help pair them up Thanks

Hi, Need confirmation that the set-up I have listed will all work together, we are ex.UK but now live in Crete where we have built a house without, regretably it now turns out, a hard wired alarm capability. Crete, once relatively crime free, has now gone bad ways and recently our neighbours were robbed and they had 6 dogs loose in the garden! So I am looking to buy and install a wireless system sourced from the UK and need clarification it will all work and is foolproof for even me to fit ! Basic I-ON16 with two PIR's, two remotes, two master blasters. Owing to our secluded position we need to make life miserable enough for the intruder to leave sooner rather t…

I recently purchased a galaxy flex 20 and 4 DT7450-EOL motion sensors. I wired the sensor according to the instruction manual of the motion sensor. the fault loop to zone 1, Alarm test and tamper to zone 2. The "test" to the +12V since the flex control panel doesn't have a "remote led control". see galaxt installation manual page 17 for the wiring schem in the flex manual. see page 3 for the wiring of the sensor This doesn't seem to work. Can anybody tell if the wiring is correct? I find it odd that no connection is made on the V+ and V- of the sensor.

Hi I wonder if someone could help me please.I have a Veritas R8 with 5 zones 2 keypads,2 panic Buttons.We went away for the weekend came home electric Had triped alarm had gone over to battery and flattened both alarm panel and bell box, I turned electric back on alarm powered up and recharged but both key pads won't do anything every button you press has the same tone it seems to have locked out.The battery seems ok because if I disconnect from mains it lasts ages.Is it time for a new panel? Thanks Guys Gary

I am considering buying some honeywell equipment to upgrade my alarm to wireless. Firstly I just wanted to check that all the components are fully compatible with the Galaxy G2 panel (I have the G2-20, or actually the G2-12 as it is not expanded), and that it will support this many sensors. Do you know this for sure, or should I contact Honeywell directly Honeywell Wireless Door/window compact magnetic contact Honeywell Wireless Dualtec 15m x 18m Honeywell Wireless Smoke sensor with built-in sounder DF8M Honeywell Carbon Monoxide Wireless Detector Honeywell Galaxy 2 Series Wireless Receiver (RF Portal) Microtech Galaxy MK8 Keyprox LCD Keypad Honeywel…

Hello I'm hoping to replace my existing intruder alarm panel with the Scantronic 9561 series panel. I do see that securitywarehouse is selling both the EN, and UK models of 9561. Now I know that 9561EN is a grade 2 alarm, and that 9561UK is ungraded. Are there any other differences in the two? Basically my question boils down to: Which one of the two should I go for, considering the fact that its going to be DIY installation, so do I need the EN model? Is the UK model flushed with older software in comparison to the EN model? Why is the 9561UK slightly more expensive than the 9561EU, even though the EU model is graded, whereas the UK model is not? Tha…

I am trying to get a TS690 and keypad to replace a suspect duff cpu board.Undestand this is now obsolete and you show out of stock.Can you get me one or is that the end of the supply. Regards,Chris

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!

I recently bought a "ADE Optima Compact 8 zone control panel with onboard keypad" Secware Optima 2 x PIR Full Kit from you. I would like to fit two ADE Activ8 standard PIR Complete With Pet Immunity Facility sensors, do I need 8 core wire, as with the kit came 6 core Thank you

Hope someone can give some help or suggestions. After being broken into earlier in the year, I have finally got round to installing the alarm system that was purchased a couple of months ago. Every thing seems to work, that is after a minor wiring fault on the global system tamper, which turned out to be poor connection on vibration sensor (front door). The problem is the external sounder will not function at all, apart from the tamper circuit. There is definitely power from the control panel and the standby battery has 8 volts. I have tried the trouble shooting instructions in the installation manual, which is make temp connection between SAB B and D for the sound…

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

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

Hi everyone. I have been reading a lot of your helpful comments on various wireless alarms[ in particular]. as you will have gathered by by nom de plume I do not know a lot about these items. My questions are, in the scantronic range is the 703r contact transmitter for hard wiring in garage block to signal back to main panel in residence by wireless and are the 2 wired relay outputs suitable for external sounders [ sab]or do I have to use a conversion panel as on sapphire website. john

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
