    I have a C&K Securit 800L+ alarm system that I installed about 4 years ago. I need to relocate a sensor, and so want to completely power down the system.

I have contacted the company I purchased the system from (Alert Electrical) but they don't know why this is happening so have given me the phone number for the manufacturers tech support. C&K have been taken over by Honeywell, and when I spoke to someone in their tech support department he hadn't heard of the 800L and couldn't find any details on their database. Can an…

  5. I have fitted about 5 or 6 alarms in my life time and have never really had any problems, well that was until the last couple of days. I have a premier 24 panel with GSM module, 6 reed switchs 2 PIRs texecom bell box and LCD control panel. The mains is wired in correctly from a fused spur but someting doesnt seem right. The large green LED lights up a constant green regardless of if either just the battery or just the mains is connected, even though it says in the manual it should flash when running from the battery, and constsnt when running from the mains, although they may have updated the programming since they made the manual. Does any one have any experiance of it…

    I have recently moved into a house that has a Scantronic 9448 alarm. The alarm seems to work fine apart from the fact that two of the PIR sensors to do not light up nor sense movement when the alarn is fully set. I am not sure whether this is an electric problem or whether I should just replace the faulty PIRs. If it is a PIR problem then does anyone know if I can just buy standard PIR's and fit them?

    Hi, I'm just working out my best option for installing the bellboxes, 1 front and 1 rear to my property. Is there anyine in Stavely, Chesterfield, who would do this as I don't own any laders long enough and I'm not the best person at a height? How much for installing the 2 bellboxes? The wiring and panel will be in place, including wires into the loft ready to be drilled thro for the boxes? They just need mounting and connecting to the ends of the feed wires.

    Hi all, I have just installed an Aritech CS235 wired system to my house with an SABB External Sounder.
