Thanks for the fast reply. Do you not sleep After reading your reply I called and checked the system and yes, I had used 6 wire everywhere. I should have checked before posting instead of relying on memory from 20 years ago. Do you think the accenta minigen 4 and Ventcroft evolution sounder would be suitable? Thanks again Jim

My elderly parents have a basic alarm system which has worked perfectly for over 20 years. The control unit has now gone faulty and requires replacement. Could you recommend a replacement unit which only has to cover two PIR zones and one entry/exit. The existing unit is key control under the stairs which is no longer ideal and I would prefer to fit a remote keypad just inside the entrance door. The external box should also be replaced so if you feel a complete kit would be a better deal then if you could recommend one it would be great. I should say that they are now looking to move to a retirement home so the system will probably only have to last them for about a year so the cheaper the better but still reliable. I installed the original system and have never worked on one since, can I assume that the original 4 wire cabling will suffice so long as it is still in good condition. Jim
