Intruder Alarms

We are looking at buying the domonial system, the house is simple enough, requiring a Honeywell domonial wireless 2 PIR kit, an additional PIR, 3 more tags & a wireless siren. We also have two outbuildings that require protecting, the first is approximately 7m from the house (12m from the panel) it will need an internal alarm and 2 PIRs - one at 12m the other at 19m from the main panel, the signal would also have to travel through at least two solid walls, will it do this? There is also a barn some 45m from the panel, this is a bit more complex it will require 1 PIR and a door contact, we need to access it without always turning off the rest of the system and visa ve…

Eurosec CPX Panel & LCD KP, I have a site with wired detectors/door contacts/sounder + 2/3 wireless detectors so was thinking of this panel. What wireless PIR's/Door Contacts will suit and is there anything else u require for the wireless PIR's/Door Contact to communicate with the CPX, or is the CPX all set up to accept wirelss detectors ? What about the G-Tag, is this already built in to the KPads, so all u require are the Keyfobs ? Scantronic Homelink 55 Hybrid with LCD KP - as above basically, can u mix Wired/Wireless detectors etc. thx Mark.

does anybody no the best wireless intruder alarm system out there

HI again Following on from another question i would also like to know how to wire more than 1 sensor on a circuit. Whenever in the past i have done this, when testing the system it has failed to activate. I assume this can be done as some systems have more than 8 detectors. Chris

Hi I have been installing alarms for some time now but have never wired in the tamper circuit. I have now setup a new business installing security systems and feel i should now wire in this glabal tamper. I have in the past tried wiring all the sensors into the terminals but when i do this i can never generate a tamper alarm. Any guidance would be appriciated. Chris

I have a Paragon plus ,and I cann't get a replacement RKP ,Can it be replaced with any other make or model ,if so can you surgest a replacement Thanks Lawrence

Hello I installed a month ago scantronic 9651 the alarm goes in to fault mode When i read the log it states 'bad checksum' could you tell me what this , also it sometimes come up plug by communications is out , but i check the sd2 DIALLER it is functioning, line is ok If the same line is on a non filtered dsl telephone line could this interfere Thanks Mr Patel

l have moved into a property where a scantronic alarm system 9427 Style alarm is installed. I do not have the code to set it and wondered if you have a manual which would allow me to do a master reset Thanks

Attached is a wiring diagram for 'Double Pole', 'EOL' and using a Risco Guardtec CPX 'Zone Doubling' Conventional Double pole requires a pair for each part of the detection device, ie 'Alarm' and 'Tamper'. Wiring the Tamper Circuit as double pole will require a global tamper, this means that all devices with tamper protection are wired in series into the tamper connections of the control panel. Zone wiring is then wired normally straight into the relevant zone connection. This has the advantage of being simpler to understand, but has the disadvantage of a global tamper, ie being able to identify the device in tamper is impossible. Lower end panels only offer Double Po…

Hi i have the Accenta 8 mini. and the keypad is about dead. i am thinking of getting the keyfob. I got a few questions regarding it My keypad is situated on my stairs. and i am going to install the keyfob at the bottom of the stairs. or do the keyfobs have to be on the outside.. Could i connect the Easy set Key fob. whilst the alarm is still plugged in.. As i carnt remember how to set the alarm into diagnose mode so i can open the panel so the alarm dont go off. I installed it like 3 1/2 year ago and cant find the book for it.. any help will be great Thanks

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 wonder about a product that you sell. The product is Risco Wisdom Wireless PIR, model RWT920. Is this product for 868MHz or for 433MHz? I need this product for 868MHz, is this the right product for 868MHz? Best Regards Martin Sweden

Dear sirs, I have an intruder alarm as above. It has two wired remote keypads. Is the Accenta rkp still available or is there a current alternative that will work with this system? Thank you,

Hi I am trying to download technical manual for the Scantronic 9448 from your website, is it possible for me to do that? We need to change a battery on one of these systems,and have ordered one from your company, on order no:xxxx. Any information would be useful. Best regards

Hello from Germany, I am going to buy a home-security-system from your shop and need some information on programming and controlling the system via PC. There is the Scantronic homelink 75 which seems to be connectable to PC via USB is there a control-software included in your package ? And second the Risco Wisdom - nothing to see about PC-connection and Software in you shop ? Would you please inform me about this two sets, thank you and regards Helmut

I have just moved into a house in Windsor that has a Scantronic 9454 system. The previous owner left the manual, but no other information about the system. Can you tell me whether Scantronics is still in business? If they are not, has anyone taken over servicing their installations? If so, would it be possible to arrange an engineer to visit to reset the system and enable us to use it. Hope you can help.

I have recently moved to this property which employs a 9427eur-80 rkp grade 1 fire alarm. Unfortunately there are no instructions on how to operate this alarm and I am wondering if you could possibly supply some information regarding it's operation etc. I understand that the house was built about 4 years ago. Thankyou in advance and wishing you all a happy new year.

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

I bought a complete system from you towards the end of September (orders 12995 and 13006) and have recently installed the alarm in our new house. All is well except that I get I am getting SETTING FAULTS showing on the LCD keypad from the zones that are on the exit route. System sets and unsets correctly despite this. Have I made a mistake somewhere? I have checked the manual and searched the internet but can find no mention of setting faults anywhere. Hope you can help or point me in the right direction. Many thanks.

Reading the tecnical specification for the honeywell Accenta compact it says its maximum battery size is 2.1 A/h. As 2.1 A/h are getting harder to find, (ie they are now 2.2 or 2.3 A/h) is the size critical or is there a slight tolerance?

I have a need to add 2 (ideally 3) door contacts onto a single zone on a texecom premier 48. I have tried putting resistors in each device but this wont work. I have looked in the manual and its not very detailed. It it possible or do i need to buy an expander such as the 8xe? Thanks Eddie

HI I recently purchased a Menvier SD3 order number 3122 and have been having issues with it reporting 'line fail' I have checked the sim is ok by using it in my own phone and have tried another sim from another network. The aerial is undamaged but i cant get this to work. Am i missing something basic. Barry
