Craig 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

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.

Barry 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. Tech

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. Tech

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. Tech

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.

Daan If your using a geovision system for your recording then an upgrade and an ANPR option might be ideal. http://www.securitywarehouse.co.uk/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=1359
