  1. No a non filtered line could not cause this. Id suggest you have a faulty panel. If you havnt done so please contact technical and they will authorise an RMA number so we can swap this panel for you. Tech Support
  2. Jane Im sorry we cannot send manauls out or provide defaulting info for obvious reasons. You have a 9448 control panel it appears, and if it was ordered from us, please send an email to technical quoting your order ref and account name and we will send you the manual. Alternativly id recommend you contant a local installer. You might want to post a request for one of the installers that frequent to forum to contact you. Tech
  3. Geoff If you send a request to technical we will send the data sheet. Alternativly if you update your version of acrobat reader this is a known problem with older versions of the reader and new pdf's, ie if you have version 6 or 7 upgrade to 8.x
  4. There is a few points to consider. You need to decide on a recorder or dvr. You can use a geovision card and add it to a pc, or use standalone dvr. Camera choice will depend on budget and image quality expected. Obviously you cannot compare directly the budget cameras to panasonic etc branded cameras. If you select a camera that is a true day night or mono it will function with infra red lighting. Some of the budget cameras include built in infra red leds, this work over a limited range and depend on your site. A camera such as http://www.securitywarehouse.co.uk/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_2_20&products_id=1483 will provide colour images during the day and mono images during the night. It also has an array of IR emitters to provide some lighting. The LED's will provide a dull red glow, but provide no visible light. I have attached a document from pembroke council that outlines a few operational requirements
  5. Steve Id advise upgrading to the newest version of acrobat reader here http://www.adobe.com/?ogn=EN_US-gn_home
  6. Walt All of our batteries are designed for standby use in security systems. They are not designed for cyclic use, and I would recommend a cyclic battery for your scooter. A standby Battery will work but its life will be reduced. Tech Support
  7. 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 Pole as a wiring configuration. More advanced panels offer EOL wiring. This utilises a minimum of 2 resistors at the End Of the Line, ie the detector. Using detectors with built in resistors simplifies commissioning as the resistors are built into the sensor. This option is now available with the higher end door contacts. The resistor values vary from manufacturer to manufacturer. For example Honeywell use a 1k - 1k set, whereas Risco / gardtec use a 4K7 - 6K8 set. Other manufacturers use other values. Some panels allow the programming of the values, to facilitate takeovers etc, ie the Galaxy 2-20 / 2-44 allow the programming of any value from 1k to 9.9k. Some panels also offer zone doubling. This allows 2 detectors to be connected to a zone and still receive individual indication of the detector alarm. EOL also offers individual tamper identification allowing for easier fault finding.
  8. Hi You will need a keypad fro programming etc, but yes the easy set is compatible with the old G3 optima/accenta. If you have a look on the store you will find a accenta/optima g3 user manual. Im afraid that engineer manuals are not available on the forum, if you purchased from us and have your order number, you can email technical and they will send the correct manual.
  9. When designing an intruder alarm systems some basic information needs to be gathered. Apart from the specialist regulations (BS 4737 has been withdrawn) of BS EN 50131, PD6662, DD243 etc, BS 7671 and Part P is still relevant for cable sizing, methods of fixing recording voltages etc. But lets start with some basics 1, Domestic Installations Probably one of the most common systems. This would usually be a Grade 1 or 2x (both audible only). A risk assessment must be carried out and this will decide grade. Also the insurance company may have some input on a minimum grade they will accept. Look for things like easy access points, flat roofs, weak doors etc. These areas need special attention and may require additional protection such as vibration sensors or door contacts. Consider how you would gain entry yourself, this will highlight potential weak points. But generally a system design will consist of door contacts on the front and possibly rear doors, movement detection in the hallway, lounge, kitchen and landing. The idea of just doing the landing upstairs is any intruder will have to cross the landing when changing rooms. There may be a case for additional protection ie landing window due to flat roof, master bedroom PIR or Panic button, or high tech equipment in a study. Also garages may need some protection. The keypad is usually fitted in a convenient position in the hallway. Some keypads have on-board PA features, so the keypad should always be accessible if need in an emergency. You should also fit an internal sounder so that exit tones can be heard throughout the exit route, and will also function as an internal sounder. External sounders should be fitted as high as practicable, and the cable should not be visible. You may also consider smoke or gas detection, these are getting more popular along with 'fobs' for ease of use. Once you have a basic design then you can quote the system based on the amount of equipment needed. As a rough guide a professional install of a grade 2x system with 4 - 5 PIR's should take 2 man days. There are companies that can do it in 1 or even a few hours but to do the install properly you should allow 2 days at your labour rate. Cables should be routed under boards, away from any existing cabling and fixed where necessary. Care should be taken when running a new cable through holes with existing cables (i.e. an upgrade) as pulling the cables through too quickly will burn the existing cables. Once you have all your cables in place from all your points to the control location, you will be ready for the Second Fix. Second Fix All equipment must be securely fixed. Normally on a plaster wall, wall plugs and screws of the correct size for the weight of the device will be used. The only exception to this is the sounder where you must use screws of a No. 10 in size and must protrude through the back plate at least 2 Inches. Connections See the manuals for detailed wiring instructions such as tamper series loops, or eol wiring. Most grade 1 and 2x systems will use a 'double pole' topology. i.e. the alarm contacts will be wired in to 1 pair of wires and the tamer will be on a 2nd pair. So there will be 2 'poles' at the detector. EOL wiring usually consists of 2 End Of Line resistors (value depends on manufacturer galaxy 1k and 1k), this allows for the alarm and tamper to be on the same pair and the panel can calculate what is in alarm by measuring the resistance of the circuit. The higher security grade 3 systems utilise anti-mask and an additional resistor is used to monitor the mask detector. PA devices usually only have an alarm pair. Testing Once your system is fully connected you need to perform various performance tests, ie walk tests etc as detailed in the manual of the control equipment you are fitting. Follow these steps tp check the operational performance. You should also record the system record checks, ie the 'readings'. These consist of the battery charging voltage, disconnect the battery and meter between +ve and -ve the reading obtained should be approx 13.6 - 13.9v. AC input voltage which should be around 220-240v. The voltage at each detector, and the resistance of the cable to each device. Alarm cable should be around 9 Ohms per 100m. Handover Show the customer how to use the system fully, change any default manager and user codes. Usually you will have your own engineer code that you will program up. While some panels allow you to 'lock' the engineer code to prevent takeover, many engineers consider this bad practice so be sure you understand the implications of you intend to use this feature. Sign the completion paperwork and obviously collect payment. We would advise your service contact details are clearly marked on the control equipment. 2, Commercial Installations As with a domestic install but will probably be a higher risk, so additional protection will be required. As most commercial sites have few people to hear an alarm some sort of remote signalling is preferred, be that a voice/speech dialler or monitoring via an alarm receiving centre.
  10. Im afraid the 9800 is now long obsolete and parts are no longer available. The 9651 or 9751 are both suitable replacements
  11. Martin All the modern Wireless equipment is 868 and yes the 920 listed is an 868 part.
  12. Im afraid the old xm based accenta is long obsolete. The new keypad is not supported. Id advise you contact a local approved installer to see if they can help as they may have old stock, or you may be in need of an upgrade.
  13. Rashid We have various User Manuals Available for free download from the store. The 9448 is currently listed. If you need additional manuals not listed please either note it in the forum as a request or email us at technical. Tech Support
  14. Hi Baxall have now ceased trading but the baxall zt4 is a long obsolete part. What is it your controlling? It might be better to look at a bbv part as this should work (depending on your telemetry reciever) or a DM digital sprite. Your options are fairly limited due to using an up the coax FSK telemetry. If you can provide more details we will probably be able to suggest an alternative. Tech Support
  15. Yes we can do that but you need to email sales and give them your vat number. Once this is verified to match your account we will then issue you a unique code to enter during checkout that will rate all your orders at 0% vat. Tech Support
  16. Martin Yes we can supply to sweden, if you continue through the process as normal the system will calculate your shipping costs depending upon the items ordered.
  17. Yes as above if used ona fire door it must have a fail safe means of opening the door in the event of a fire. This could be a breakglass or the 'yale' if fitted
  18. Geoff While changing VCR's is not a difficult task Id still advise you contact an engineer or your installer. There were a few digital vcr replacements (ie the vista solo etc) but these have been phased out now due to lack of demand, as most vhs based systems have either been replaced with digital, or continuing for whatever reason with analogue. Also the cost now of multi input dvr's has dropped considerably. DVD's were never really used for security due to the very short recording time and the technology not being as flexible as tape. Hard disk based Digital Video Recorders have taken over now. Id advise you have a look at the DM or DM ECO range of recorders.
  19. Helmut. Risco keep very tight control of the software for their control panels and as such its only available to registered installers direct form risco. Scantronic have a similar policy. Texecom lead the way in software availabilty and you might want to consider using wintex and texecom wireless equipment instead. Im sure this position will change in the future but currently we can only provide software to registered installers for the above control panels.
  20. Scantronic are a manufacturer not an installer. If you currently dont have a contract on your system then id advise you find a local nsi gold approved company in your area. www.nsi.org.uk Alternatively one of our installers in your area may reply to your post.
  21. The 9427 is a keypad that usually connects to a 9448 control panel. The 9448 is a basic Scantronic Intruder Alarm Panel. It may have smoke detectors etc wired into it but it is not a fire alarm. We have User manuals for all popular control panels on the site, currently available as a free download. If the manual you require isnt there then drop an email to technical@securitywarehouse.co.uk and we will endeavour to add it. The user manual will provide basic operation notes etc. I have attached a brief explanation of the Icons / images on the keypad below.
  22. Micheal we have various installers in london that may be able to help and they will reply here or pm you. Alternativly have a look at nsi.org.uk and find a local NSI Gold installer in your area.
  23. Pringles The multispeech can run any 16Ohm speaker, so yes it can be used in an internal environment with conventional speakers, but it can also be connected to horn speakers and they can be used outside. If using a few speaker / horns you will need a seperate amplifier to run these and connect the putput from the multispeech to the amplifier. Most external speakers are designed for '100v' line pa amplifiers if connecting a horn directly to the multispeech ensure that you have one that has a 16 or 8 ohm setting.
  24. Vishal The panel is reporting that it has 'exit faults' during setting. This means that detectors are activating as you leave the protected area and is normal. The panel is letting you know for example that a door is open and not all ok. It should then change back to normal as you vacate the area, You then know the alarm is setting fine.
