Concerned about competence to do this with the questions your asking and also as it's the DIY section... From what you say I assume it's a PE48. You should do auxiliary equipment like this with isolators adjacent the control panel. So an output drives a transistorised relay for the "armed" and "primary" but go via an isolating keyswitch for testing. You don't explain what brand sensor you are using but I would have it drive a relay with the relay output connected to the "secondary". All of this stuff would have it's own 12v boxed supply and electrically isolated (galvanic) from the Texecom system.

Agreed use a relay to give you a clean switch

Invert the 2 negative output? Or Use relays from the neg outputs? Use a relay board on the Stu outputs if it's a 48? Add an expander with 8 outputs? Whatever works for you ?

In short; The 375 Smoke Protect System requires primary and secondary triggers. Both must be external 12v to trigger the smoke generation. I've taken the primary 12v from the bellbox (bell) trigger. The secondary should be from a PIR to detect motion in the room the smoke system is installed in before activating. I've attached manuals to both systems. Please note that OPT3-4 is not available on this system. I need to trigger the secondary on 375 smoke protect with 12v coming from the PIRs however the pirs I have are resistance based and do not output 12v on alarm/trigger. What can I do?

It a euro 46 with 76 zones as far as I'm the 46 did more than 46 zones ? It might have done 76 but I would have to look at the book... There is a plastic hybrid panel with built in radio coming... For the last couple of years Does the 280 do the app ?

Certainly going around the houses so to speak Think the previous one "76" was more under the Castle Brand before the buy out, not too hot on the old ptronix Castle 10-44 10-76 44 76 162 Pyronix 46S and L now 76S and L with the new firmware and the 280 New 280 LOL there can see why they've rebranded it but it does look a bit comical

We've launched a new panel - the EURO 76 James adds i thought it already existed. Was the euro 44 then the 76 then the 134 announced before my kids were born? i wait to be corrected.

good news how bad were the ones you had? or was it range etc? ie what did you have before and what do you have now

I bought some better quality contacts and wired them as in my pic and so far they are working fine thanks for everybody’s help in the matter

Yes its CAT5PE

ill keep doing my best.. to break ta

Never on mobile but nothing seems broken yet

I should of added a Mr happy

Cool dude , but I do also agree with what your saying , after all , you guys got much more experience than me in this industry Ask for a free connection to try it ? For your premises

Hopefully nobody noticed but there have been a few upgrades on tsi. Mainly aiming for speed improvement on mobile mainly if anyone has seen a speed increase.

Be interesting to know a little more about it. Maybe an actual reason to got to the nec

who's gonna be the guinea pig & have all the issues ?

i think we will have to agree to disagree Al

Encryption isn't the issue , it's product, industry has moved on and no one cares No but we talking alarm signals that no one is interested in ordering trying to intercept much

i wouldnt want to send anything over IP without encryption. Al it your password 1234 or P4ssw0rd?

Even insurance with no idea specify "Redcare or equivalent"... They were the market leader years ago and priorities change, there wasn't much they could do with the product the downsides were part of it's design. Agile/Secure mitigated that for years. Without Redcare Classic they are no longer tied to doing security, to people higher up its probably easier to fold at this point. I think you underestimate how much encryption you use on a daily basis...

So as said boasting it's encryption and continuous monitoring But they didn't get much bigger in recent years and not many need or want to pay for it So espionage and spies and the mission impossible bank robber , no one really needs this service , and Hatton gardens didn't push anyone to change much either These days as long as they have insurance they start to care less

Ive yet to meet anyone that didnt like redcare classic/gsm.

Really? Encryption is fundamental to any secure data that needs transmitting, this concept does back centuries to well before computers. Original Redcare was an amazing product back in the day, it would work over wet string, had continuous encrypted signalling and 30s polling with no data costs. Nothing will be able to copy it, it requires having the infrastructure. Obviously there were downsides to the product which will explain the wind down. Everyone is jumping on the massive strength of the Redcare brand to sell there new tat. The product name is known fairly well outside the industry.

if you have an additional 2 circuits where the 6 core goes back to (im assuming panel) then just use a pair for each contact (ie red/blk contact 1, blu/yell contact2 etc) and program the panel to the correct eol values. Wiring should be in the manual but if not just say and ill dig out an image. But also bear in mind how the contacts are installed. If there is an issue there however you wire them you will have problems. Post a picture of the 3 with the door closed please
