ohhnoo Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 Hi, Need an alarm system asap as I've just had an attempted break in and it's given me the kick up the backside I needed. Complete novice at alarms but a competent diyer.Please recommend me an alarm system for a 3 bed semi, conservatory upvc patio doors to the rear, upvc side kitchen door and upvc front door plus 2 downstairs windows need protecting I think i will need 4 pirs for the down stairs rooms Kitchen, hallway,dinnig room and lounge and 3 surface mount door contacts. I would like to have a panel upstairs so the alarm can be armed at night. I think I will need an extra bell box for the rear of the property please advise. Please recommend wired or wireless which ever is the best and quote me for a complete kit with everything included , my budget is around £200 but can stretch a little more if required. Please get back to me asap. Regards Bryan walker Quote
Secware_Tech6 Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 Bryan. We only supply pro equipment. None of the equipment is designed for DIY use. I understand that the DIY type equipment is poor by comparison. Id advise you get it installed by someone competent in pro gear. But equipment wise id look at the honeywell accenta, honeywell is215 detectors. The only issue here is that the accenta is only an 8 zone panel. id only advise 1 detector per zone. You have 9 detectors. If you need more than 8 zones then look at the galaxy 2 series panel but this is a big jump from an accenta. Quote

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly much appreciated, I know it's pro gear I'll be dealing with but I'm an engineer by trade so I'm confident. I'll go for the honeywell as you suggested. I think I will get away with 8 zones so I thought this kit http://www.securitywarehouse.co.uk/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=1439 with 2 extra pirs and 3 extra surface door contacts. Please could you advise which model number pirs are in the kit as there are a few is215 and want to get the same and also which door contacts are they in the kit. Many thanks for your help Bryan Quote

ohhnoo Posted August 18, 2011 Author Posted August 18, 2011 First little problem, in the installation overview instruction number 5.Connect the BATT link on the AG6 what does this mean! Quote
ohhnoo Posted August 19, 2011 Author Posted August 19, 2011 Sorry forgot to mention I guess you know it's the external sounder I'm talking about. Quote
Secware_Tech6 Posted August 19, 2011 Posted August 19, 2011 you need to connect the battery link in the ag6 (external sounder) when everything is complete Quote
ohhnoo Posted August 21, 2011 Author Posted August 21, 2011 you need to connect the battery link in the ag6 (external sounder) when everything is complete Thanks, that's what the instructions say, confused me because it says Batt + &- so thought it meant connect up to a battery. So basically connect Batt + & - together via a link wire. Quote
