alarm

Hi, I'm having a problem with one of my keyprox modules (address 1), when I went out earlier on I used it to full set via pin number, when I came home again it wouldn't respond to a fob to unset or accept a pin, subsequently the alarm triggered and had to be unset from a second keypad (address...

Hello friends. Recently I installed the HSA6400 for a customer and everything went great. He recorded the message we did a test call on both the numbers and they both dialled out. However the customer decided to do an alarm test and said when the dialler dials out it only calls one number and...

Hi all, First post here, I'm new to alarms but I've been reading up on these forums for the past week or so and I'm wondering if someone could help me a little bit. I'm about to move into a new property and I would like to install an alarm, it has to be wireless as there is zero chance of a...

Hi, I'm hoping that someone out there might be able to offer some advice? I've recently moved into a new house and had an ADT Smart Home alarm fitted. I discussed with the sales chap that we would be replacing the front door shortly and asked about moving the sensor when the time came to which...

Hi all. I've just installed a burglar alarm in the understairs cupboard. The manual calls for a 2A FCU to supply the power. Next to the panel, there's a single socket which appears to be a spur from another socket on the ring main as only one surface mounted cable goes into it. The single...

I've done a search for "PIR" and there are no recommendation threads for the last 2 years, so perhaps it's time to ask again. Technology changes so rapidly... Is there a common internal wired PIR detector that is recommended? I'd like to exclude pet tolerant varieties. Other than that...

hi this morning my alarm went off while my house was heating up in the morning. The downstairs zone was active and we where in bed. Has anyone had issues with timed heating causing the alarm to go off. I checked the logs, it was the lounge senor that was triggered. To add to the mix my wife...

Saw this in a super market the other week and thought it was a bit odd, two "Fire Alarm" manual call points next to a double emergency exit door. Don't think there was a magnetic door lock, but can't be 100% sure. Maybe one of them is for something else or that one is not within the required...

Hi all, After some help with the connections from a lightsys to a Novaguad bell.. I assume that the lightsys is not a NovActive compatible system? And that I will need to make the connections via standard wiring.. I set the DIP switches to set the box up as a SCB. I made the connections as...

I have had my Pyronix enforcer HomeControl+ system for about 14 months now and am just wondering how often do you professional people change the battery's in the PIR's/Door sensors? I have the PIR's LED's disabled, although would not expect that to make any significant difference to the battery...

I've recently taken the challenge of setting up the alarm properly and came across a few issues. Firstly the kitchen PIR (Zone 04) is apparently always open, everything works normally as in it flashes when you walk in front of it but I can't set the alarm unless I omit the zone. I changed the...

Hi all. Some kids broke the steering lock on my moped through the night (probably sat on the seat and kicked the steering) so today I've been wondering about a project I had in mind for a while, for a simple microwave proximity sensor alarm. I see the microwave module can be bought here for...

Hi, I've very basically installed this system but still need to set it up properly. The booklets I find confusing. It seems to have areas ABCD rather than zones and areas don't apear to be the same thing as zones. In this case I have four PIRs and one magnetic contact. Because of the house...

SO i have installed my alarm, and wireless PIRs and Door contact. with the exception of a faulty delta bell. My setup I have :- 3 PIRs 1 DOOR Contact 1 Wireless Keypad (Arming Station) - in the entrance hall 2 Wireless Key-fobs MY main unit is in the utility room. my issue is "I want...

Hi, I have a cat so don't want PIRs but I intend just to fit several door/window contacts, a bell box and a control panel. Something simple that makes a noise on site is all because my neighbours are good and would respond, plus I'm likely to be in if it's night time anyway. What would you...

Since recently dwelling on surface contacts, I came across this suggestion on a web site called Ultra Secure Direct. I had always thought that the contacts went as far as possible away from the hinge, so on the left in the above diagrams. They suggest a 1/3rd of the way from the hinge so that...

Hi, I'm very new to all of this and recently acquired this system of a friend of mine. I have: Honeywell Galaxy 2-20 Honeywell CP038 keyboard panel Honeywell C079-2 RF portal I got it all powered up and have the password and engineer passwords both are default. Although it's showing me...

hello I have had an easy fit telephone alarm system fitted for a year now. This week I added a new device....a keypad. Now when I come home and disarm it, the external siren sounds. Internally the alarm doesn't go off and there is no indication on the screen display to note that the alarm has...

Hi Have had Texecom Premier Elite fitted for a month now, all working fine with app telling me when system is armed, disarmed and remote UDL started BUT Today I had a false alarm while out and did NOT get an indication on the app - only realised when I got home and external sounder was...

Hi all, I recently posted a question asking about a 24h contact with override key switch (http://tinyurl.com/jdtyw6f) I have installed the zone with the key switch to shunt the contact with so the gate can be opened without the alarm activating, however I am now getting an open signal from the...
