All the rf equipment we stock is 868 MHz as that is the current UK freq. Unless its stated as we do stock some older 433 etc parts for older system expansion.

yes you would need to recable. If you used an EOL panel you could use 2 cores for power and 2 for zone. You would need to remove the power to reset them after an alarm. SO you either need a panel that has that output or remove the power via a switch.

The powermax will do what you want and you can connect to it from a computer. However this isnt IP and the pc must dial the panel. This may be a problem to you. You might want to look at the scantronic i-on40 as this has remote access via iphone, netbook etc. Im afraid i dont know anything about the 'KNX' system. The powermax does have an x10 module.

An earth fault is usually due to a cable fault or a core shorting to earth somewhere. You will need to find and recitify this before anything else. 8 zone panels are the same just bigger. Ensure you havnt connected the cable shield (it isnt a functional earth) to any devices or back boxes.

Some of the scantronic panels have anaylsed zones so this might be an obvious choice. Other that that you will need an analyser for the non powered initia sensors, or replace them with powered versions.

std alarm cable will be fine. You can double or treble the power cores, but never double up data lines

yes. How long is the run?

just to add for future reference not all rf devices are inter compatible. Some are but as a rule you need to sue the same brand throughout on the wireless side.

Giorgio The ex35r is a low power pir designed for connection to a transmitter board. They do not include the transmitter board as you use the one compatible with your receiver. The model you quote is unknown to me so i cant help directly. But if you use a universal transmitter in the space behind the sensor it will work with your system

Depending on your version of the domonial will depend on the method of adding rf fobs. Adding rf keypads is an engineering function.

you cant use normal intruder cable in an area that will be wet, over time pvc cables go pourus and you will have problems with any quality of cable. You need a direct burial or duct grade cable, unless its kept 100% dry. If its dry then id go with the better cable.

it has a 12v input that can come from an existing panel or a psu with battery backup. its 833Mhz

no the keyfobs wont come with that sort of instruction you will need to refer to your user manual.

The domonial is 'tricky' to program so unless you have had the training then i would suggest it wasnt for you. The domonial is a 'wireless only' produce so you can only use domonial equipment on it. It is an excellent product but unless you have the training id avoid.

I would say yes but it depends as a rule our own branded cable will be fine but if your approaching limits (ie 1km cable runs etc) then good branded cable has its advantages. A lot of people insist on high end branded equipment including cable. if your running 20m runs under floor boards then you wouldnt have an issue. However the finish of the branded cables is better and its wound less tight so when clipping direct its easier to achieve a nice finish. Hopefully that helps?

im in tech support. If it gets to me then i can. However id expect this one will go stright to returns for action. James

no it shouldnt do that. Id advise getting it swapped if your not happy with it.

Adam As we spoke on the phone ill add some additional info. If im right you want to protect the house and a garage which is approx 10m from the house. We discussed the galaxy unit and the visonic. If you go for the galaxy unit you will need a http://www.securitywarehouse.co.uk/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=1632 for the garage you will need a wireless Dualtec http://www.securitywarehouse.co.uk/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2162 As far as i know honeywell are the only manufacturer offering a wireless dualtec

if you use a conventional video system then yes. All you need to do is feed the 2nd monitor from the first unit, ie cable it as below Outside Unit ------ HAndset 1------- Handset 2

1) Yes it has 8 zone inputs (which can be 'doubled' to 16) for conventional sensors 2) Most of the risco wireless devices ie http://www.securitywarehouse.co.uk/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=36_60&products_id=750 3) No they are manufacturer specific 4) ok 5) anytime ps the wireless reciever is http://www.securitywarehouse.co.uk/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=36_60&products_id=1149 Control panel is http://www.securitywarehouse.co.uk/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=579 you could also look at http://www.securitywarehouse.co.uk/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=1632 thats a G2 wireless galaxy kit, but only has digital coms built in (ie not a speech dialler)

as ravi has suggested is say thats a data comms issue. Cables ok and or wired correctly? Also was the panel powered up with keypad connected?

the homelink wont do remote connections without an arc. so you would need to add a speech dialler to most panels. the risco / eurosec cpx has a wireless reciever option (making it hybrid) built in speech dialler etc so would probably be better suited to your application.

stability, blown regulators, fuse failure.

most vibration detectors are 12v devices as you note like pir's you can get 2 wire non powered vibration devices such as http://www.securitywarehouse.co.uk/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&manufacturers_id=59&products_id=737 but these require an analyser (some panels have built in analysed zone inputs) An analyser allows connection of these vibration units to a conventional alarm panel. http://www.securitywarehouse.co.uk/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&manufacturers_id=59&products_id=2125 You can also series connect addional vibration units on the same cable. One point to remeber is as tyhe intelligence is at the analyser all devices will be set to the same sensitivity on an input.
