[9427 operation]

I have recently moved to this property which employs a 9427eur-80 rkp grade 1 fire alarm. Unfortunately there are no instructions on how to operate this alarm and I am wondering if you could possibly supply some information regarding it's operation etc. I understand that the house was built about 4 years ago.

Thankyou in advance and wishing you all a happy new year.

 

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.

[Speaking / Talking External Sounder]

Hi all

Id like to add a speaking sounder to a lighting system (GJD) and want to warn anyone entering the protected area witha custom message, ie ' Warning beware of the dog etc etc' or 'GET OF MY LAAANND' lol

 

Ideally id like to have the option of changing it as the requirement change.

I have looked at the GJD http://www.securitywarehouse.co.uk/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=650 Multispecch but this looks like its designed for intruder alarms and internal speakers.

 

Any Suggestions?

 

Thanks

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.

[Accenta Gen4 Setting Faults]

I bought a complete system from you towards the end of September (orders 12995 and 13006) and have recently installed the alarm in our new house.

All is well except that I get I am getting SETTING FAULTS showing on the LCD keypad from the zones that are on the exit route.  System sets and unsets correctly despite this.  Have I made a mistake somewhere?  I have checked the manual and searched the internet but can find no mention of setting faults anywhere.

 

Hope you can help or point me in the right direction.

 

Many thanks.

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.

[Battery for Accenta Compact]

Reading the tecnical specification for the honeywell Accenta compact it says its maximum battery size is 2.1 A/h. As 2.1 A/h are getting harder to find, (ie they are now 2.2 or 2.3 A/h) is the size critical or is there a slight tolerance?

 

The restriction on battery size on this panel and the optima is due to the physical size restriction as its a 'compact' enclosure. The charging circuit is capreble of using a bigger battery but this will not fit in the case. Any 1.9-2.4 A/h battery should have the same physical dimensions and so will fit.

[Opening In the new year?]

Hi just wondering when you are open for business again? Thanks

Tech Support is open throughout the break but the warehouse is running on minimal staff during the shutdown period. Orders are being taken and are being processed but normal service will resume on the 3rd of January

[Wiring Multiple EOL Devices on a single zone]

The best way is not to wire multiple devices per zone but dedicate each device to its own zone. Zones can then be 'grouped' into separate areas for part setting etc. But if required for double doors etc then see the attached diagram.

I assume you have checked there is good signal in the area you have fitted the dialler and it is not located inside a metal panel?

 

If not then it sounds like you might have a faulty unit. If you believe you have a faulty one please contact us at technical@securitywarehouse.co.uk, we will then authorise an rma number and returns will contact you to swap it.

[Door Swipe system required for Gym]

I have a requirement to install an access control system on the door to a Gym. I need to be able to open the door from 10am to 4pm but at all other times the card would be required. I have looked at the ACT prox 5 and the paxton compact vandal resistant but cant see how i can open the door for the required times. I plan on using a yale lock and a release and wonder if i need to use an exit button when my members can just open the lock? Am i missing something here?

 

I dont want to spend a fortune but i need something reliable and easy to manage

 

Thanks

Geoff

 

Geoff, I would recommend the ACT prox keypads for your application. The compact is programmed using shadow cards and you need to keep a duplicate of every card / tag that is issued. The act system uses the keypad for programming so deleting a lost card is a simple as entering the user number to be deleted. This will also save in the long term as you dont need to buy 2 cards (user and shadow) for every user. The act 5 system has a limit of 50 users though, if this isnt enough have a look at the smart2 1080. The 1080 has the advantage of being able to network with upto 8 other doors and connect to a pc at a later date.

[Wireless Drive Beeper]

Id like to have a sensor on my gate at the end of my drive but do not have power or a means of getting a cable from my house to the gate.

Id like to detect movement near the gate and activate a buzzer / beeper in the house and activate my lights. I have found the following products and what to check the will work as i require

Id also like to add further fittings rather than just one is this possible?

Thanks in advance

Paul

Yes those units are compatible, and you can add additional floodlights to the system as required. The buzzer will activate at all times but the lights will not come on if its daylight if the night sensor has been adjusted.

[PIR placement]

Hi

Im looking to install an alarm in a house and im unsure the best place to mount the sensors, and what areas i should cover.

Dave

The recommended placement for sensors does depend on the sensor, but generalising a fair bit, you shouldnt have detectors pointed towards windows or above heat sources. Real fires should also be avoided. Id advise mounting your sensors looking into the room.

 

Sensor placement can only be decided during the risk assesment, ie the designer needs to assess the risk of all rooms, if the study is 3 stories up and has no external access then its unlikly it requires a sensor, but the groundfloor study most probably will. Depending upon ease of access and value in the room will decide if that area requires a sensor.

 

Its usual in a house for example that you would protect the all ground floor rooms, and all 1st floor rooms + with easy access (ie flat roofs). That usually means all downstairs rooms and the landing.

[ANPR Software]

Has anyone used ANPR via standard cameras? It seems to work ok with enough light and stationary or slow moving cars.

 

I've seen it used at petrol stations and such like but can't seem to find much info on the web.

 

Your thoughts would be appreciated.

 

Regards,

If your using a geovision system for your recording then an upgrade and an ANPR option might be ideal.
