Hi, I wish to upgrade an old wired intruder system in a 4 bed detached house. I am looking for a simple to operate basic system so that next door neighbours can monitor it when I am away and gain access easily. I have chosen the components below which look suitable but am not sure about the pir sensors (no pets to worry about) or the sounders (would the basic sounder be adequate in a residential situation or should I go for the louder twin piezo unit?. There are other existing door switches that I shall re-use.

 

Honeywell Logic 6 + additional fobs

Yuasa NP2.1-12 battery

Honeywel IS215T (or TCE?) (or Quest?) sensors

Honeywell AG6 (or AG8?) sounder

 

Can you please advise on compatability and suitability of these components.

Yes , all of your chosen components are compatible , I prefere the Texecom bells myself , but Ag6/8 are fine.Most single piezos are loud enough.

I always go for the TCE. Just think it's better to avoid any false alarms if for only a couple of pounds more. Never had a problem with them.

 

If you're in a culdesac, or have houses opposite, then the single piezo is okay. I usually go for 115dB twin piezo's and a decent internal siren.

 

Cheers,
