Thank you both for the replies. JB, that MCR-304 receiver is really what I was looking for. The MCR-308 Wireless Interface for Hard-Wire Control Panels will also do. For wireless GB I really meant a Glass Break detector. Is it that easy to jam wireless devices as I read on the net? The MCR-304 Installation Instructions themselves say that "Receivers may be blocked by radio signals occurring on or near their operating frequencies." A bit scary, no? As posted here http://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/37410-outdoor-dt-and-indoor-glassbreak/, can you confirm if GB are any good on double glazing windows (I think this is what I meant, according to the reply I got; anyway it's a window with 2 sheets of glass with air ou vacuum between them)? Regarding the PA activation button on the MK3 keypad you are right. The *2 is the only one that I can trace in the MK3 log. The *0 doesn't even leave any register. Anyway the *2 also doesn't work. It must have something to do with Outputs programming. It´s a bit hard for me to understand that since I only have an english manual with bugs after all, as I just found out (my manual says it's *0 and it should be PA, not Silent PA) but I will try again.

Thanks. It must be double glazing actually (a window with 2 sheets of glass with air ou vacuum between them).

Hi, there. I have an Ademco-Microtech Galaxy 16plus. 1) Can I install an expansion wireless module connected to one of the free zones and use wireless GB? Does that work like that? 2) Galaxy has a personal attack (PA) function in the keypads, pressing *0, but mine doesn't work. I have 2 keypads and it doesn't work in either. The programming is OK and enabling that function. Any hints why it doesn't work? Thank you all.

Hi, everybody. I have several doubts, some very technically specific, about my home intrusion alarm. I appreciate any help, even if not in all questions. Thank you all. I have an Ademco-Microtech Galaxy 16plus 8 zones control panel and a RIO expansion, 8 more zones. 12 zones are occupied with Dual Technology detectors (DT). 1) In the 4 available zones I want to install pet immune outdoor detectors (2 german shepherd dogs). Any recommended reliable, with big dogs? I'm considering the RISCO Rokonet WatchOut Extreme DT. Is it good? I would buy it from a british seller (I'm from Portugal) and the detectors there work in the frequency of 10.588GHz and in Portugal they work in 10.525GHz. Is there any practical implication of the different frequencies? 2) Can I use the same wires that go to each of the 12 DT that I have to install 12 glass break detectors (GB), in series, side by side? The cable that goes to the DT is a 2x0,50+4x0,22 millimeters (ml) and the farthest DT must be 30 meters away from the control panel. I think the 0,50 ml section wires are those that carry the electricity. Will the wires handle the one extra GB? Or will I have to use a second cable to the new GB? If so, can I connect the two cables (the existing one plus the new to the GB) in the same zone of the control panel? 3) I read somewhere that the GB don't work with all glass types. Do they work with double glass windows?

Hi there. I want to upgrade my intrusion alarm myself and need some help, if possible. I will post that request. Thanks.
