Which ports do i need to forward on my router to allow external connections to the adpro fasttrace unit?

its an unusual one then as the maintainer is liable for losses etc, so they should ensure only they or auth persons can work on it. However if you let the current alarm co now you are working on it the will be able to advise or put the system 'on test' at the arc. If you have engineer authority at the arc then you could do it.

Id assume if its on redcare its under a current contract with another alarm co. If so i wouldnt recommend touching it at all. If its a police response system then you definetly shouldnt touch it. Is there anymore info as to what you have to do and why etc?

I would advise checking for shorts etc. if you do have a wiring fault then the same thing may happen. if you don't connect any powers or sounders etc then you can power the new panel up and test first. hopefully it was a faulty panel.

as a rough guide any panel less than 2 years old should be an F or later. but the only way to check is to look at the board/rom version stamp.

DO you have a short on your 12v outputs or bell supplies? I would disconnect everything from your panel incase you have a wiring fault. can you post a picture of the panel and wiring etc. James

No that wont stop it. Im afraid there isnt anoter way to disable the hold off without getting to the bell.

Hassan This occurs when the battery is conneced the wrong way. ie reverse polarity. If you disconnected it quick enough then the panel will be fine.

as above. Using free centre numbers can have issues. They are under the control of the networks. The only panel unaffected by this are the castle units as they update their settings from the castle host computer. These have updated themselves. to be fair the cost of std digicom monitoring is low and is 100% reliable. SMS is not and should IMHO never be used as a primary sinalling method.

Paul You can connect to the ion40 with a web browser or pc etc. the visonic powermax and risco wisdom allow control over a touchtone phone.

Dear Sir / Madam. I am looking at replacing my aged Yale SA5 alarm system with a product from your company and i was looking at the Scantronic i-on40 with wired kp's for a solution. Does the system allow Remote turn off via a PSTN network or over the public internet via a login.If not could you suggest a more appropriate solution. Thank you for your time. Regards Paul

David. A lin in this case is alink of wire between 2 terminals. A switch is an internal switch on the unit. A basic door / window contact is 95p http://www.securitywarehouse.co.uk/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=667

I am considering purchasing some sensors and require the red flashing light to be activated as a visual deterant when the alarm is ON and also when it is OFF. I am currently looking at the Viper GL-W thats says the LED is activated by LINK and the GLX-W that says is activated by SWITCH. Can you please explain what the difference is between LINK and SWITCH. Also, The GLX-W PC.09000-20 is priced at

Tony 1.Yes the euro one comes with a prox keypad 2. None 3. Yes 4. Fobs are usually linked to panels. I havnt tested it myself. I know the scantronic and menvier and galaxy fobs are interchangable. Sorry i know that doesnt answer your question.

Hi I need to check a couple of things... 1. If I order the "Castle Care-Tech Euro One (includes LCD keypad)" from your site - part number EUR-1024... it says you get the panel and the remote keypad - is the keypad fitted with the Prox sensor for proximity fobs? 2. If it is how many fobs come with the panel? 3. We have never fitted this panel and have tried to get the engineer/installation manual from the Castle Care Tech website and it is password protected... we have registered with them but heard nothing yet - does the panel ship with installation/setup details? 4. do you have to use the Castle Care-Tech proximity fobs, or can you programme the cheaper ADE Honeywell Easy Set Fobs? Thanks in advance Tony

Motorised bells should be ok. But yes he is correct. Solenoid bells can create large 'back emf' that will damage the control panel. It can be done but the bell needs to be isolated from the control panel. You will also then need to protect the dedicated psu used to drive it. Its cheaper and better to use a modern electronic sounder unit, unless you have a real need for it then id avoid. James

I want to use 12volt bells as my warning devices but I've been told that they will burn out the microprocessors on modern control panels. Is this just a way for the trade installer to put me off doing it myself or is there any truth in what he's saying.

the 8 core will be fine just leave 2 of the cores spare. re the speaker you can't run that from the keypad. its also not advised to run a speaker signal with any other cables. it would work but can cause data corruption on the keypad lines. your mileage may vary

as above. Which part are you struggling on?

Im sorry we cant publish that infomation on a public forum for obvious reasons. James

the 816 & 595 have 8 onboard zones. adding the rf expander will give an additional 8 wireless zones.

most plug on comms use a 5v as well as a 12v supply. Do you have 5v available?

do you have a std bt telephone line, or is it a voip line / 21cn line?

any pir that has clean outputs will work with the wired zones on the powermax, there isnt a specific sensor. Or do you mean wired visonic detectors?

how many wired zones do you need?
