Secware Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Hello, I have some question about the alarm system.We have two cats. Now I'm looking for the right alarm system for our house. I have 26 wired motion sensors and still need 4 wireless door and 7 wireless motion sensors. Which alarm is the better and the more modern, the Honeywell Galaxy Dimension GD-48 or the Galaxy Flex 50. Second question, I have the wired motion sensor “Active8 PIR with Pet Immunity”,( I bought them last year in England), are they compatible with Galaxy Dimension or Galaxy Flex. Or do I need other new wired motion sensors. The last question, what is the meaning of "Links" in the alarm system. Because the Honeywell Galaxy Dimension GD-48 have 64-Links and the Galaxy Flex 50 only 5-Links. What is the difference? (And what is the difference of Grade 3 and Grade 2.) Thanks in advance.

Secware_Tech6 Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Grade 3 is a higher security level Links are for custom programming of functions The gd is the better panel Yes the pirs will be fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuart_mcg Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 I would go for the Dimension over the Flex every time. I use links on my own system to do the following: - Turn three external lighting circuits on when a zone input signal is fired with a light sensor OR when I enter a code to override on the virtual or physical keypad. The circuits are in different places on the panel and power RIO's, but the links join them all together. - I have another code that is used to open and close the garage door - A door contact on the garage door also turns all the garage strip lights on when the garage door opens I am easily over 5 links... The only thing that lets the Dimension down over the Flex is that there's no decent GPRS/GSM option. The only one that's sold for the Dimension is a third party IRIS device that isn't compatible with anything. You can always go down the more reliable Ethernet module route for connectivity though.

chrisdclarke Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 Hi Stuart_mcg, I am very much interested in how to set-up links like what you have achieved. I would like to program my Honeywell Galaxy Dimension alarm panel to turn lighting circuit on with a lightsensor. Please may you share how to do this ? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Secware_Tech6 Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 Use links with the link source as the circuit and the destination as the output type you have programmed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
