    My problem is an Optima Compact giving spurious tamper alarms on the control panel. These are totally random and alerting the internal sounder not the outside alarm box when in day mode. The strobe flashes when this event occurs but as I say no alarm. When the system is set the alarm box works normally. On a suggestion I have changed the alarm panel battery . Spurious alarms from the panel seemed cured for 10 days but now have returned . Any possible answer to the issue appreciated.

  3. I successfully installed my SPC4320 with IR sensor and Elmdene ELM300 internal sounder. This configuration works properly today. I wanted to connect the external Rapier sounder but I have two issues: - Tamper detection: I wired the tamper on sounder as explained in the Rapier manual by choosing the 2.2K resistor on the board and connected it directly to the TR pin on the SPC4320 but the tamper remains faulty even if the sounder is closed and fixed (sensors on the Rapier work well as confirmed by beep from the sounder). - EX+ and EX- signals: In SPC Pro->Panel setting->Controller input and output->Output (please see attached screenshot), I try to commute the ext.…

    Risco Gardtec KITCP8LG2 I've a problem with one of the central units. It isn’t possible to set the number of times the bell is capable of sounding during a set period. If the system is triggered, the bell sounds always, even the third, fourth, … time when the number of bell re-arms is set to two. I’ve already disconnected all the connections and made a factory reset, but it isn’t making a solution. Please can you help me?

    I have a twenty years old DA Systems Abacus 6P control panel. Each of the six zones is split with two PIR's on each zone. The existing PIR's are believed to be by Comet (but could be Stella or Apollo)and each has an integrated zone spliter so enabling three wire connection(12v+ 0v and tamper). Can you supply a replacement for the PIR's.

    I was wondering whether you have a substitute for the FMX-DT-X8? This item is to replace an existing bottom entry Optrex PIR, and I am worried about the length of the wires that the requirements are (1) bottom cable entry (2) wire joiner preferably at bottom on unit (3) 7 wires, including the LED latch wire (4) medium sized room about 3.5 metres square. Would have a such a substitute PIR?
