!!..DIY Installers..!!

Looking for a separate Control Panel recommendation for Takex Quad Beam 50m and 127db Intruder Burglars Alarm Siren installation for a home.

I need a video/ telemetry wireless transmitter receiver for a 1080P speed dome (AHD)

My Texecom Premier Elite has thrown up a odd problem. I have one zone programmed as zone access it is the first active detector that is walked past when getting up in the morning the system being in part set mode. It should trigger the entry timer but most times it fails to do so and has no effect on the system. I have substituted the detector and resistors but with no improvement. I have tried it connected to a spare zone again no change. In all other ways operation is normal ie on full set it alarms instantly if tripped directly, it allows access on full set when entering through the entry door and on walk test it again operates normally. …

So I'm still getting an "entry fault" SMS message when I open my back door and allow the entry delay to time out and the panel to activate an alarm. Is this a normal message, or due to a real fault caused by e.g. bouncing contacts and not a single clean opening of the reed switch? Wiring is good. I get three messages, "Alarm", "Entry fault", "Unset". I only expect two of these. Sometimes I get the problem with my front door too. The door and jamb are stuck and I have to shake the door to get it open, so the reed switch would alternatively open and close multiple times. I think maybe this is just a not very appropriate choice of words for the message (it's not really …

Hi everyone, I am putting Hikvision CCTV on my timber frame bungalow conversion, I know I should have got the ethernet cables sorted when the electrician wired the place up but it got left out unfortunately. Some of the cameras will be going under the roof so can just go straight into the loft where my NVR will be, however some are going to be mounted lower down. Would it be ok to put those cables in trunking and run behind the guttering or along the outside of the house? Just wondering what you guys would do on a professional job, I can't see many people being happy with loads of holes cut internally around the house to run cables beh…

Hi can anyone tell me if you can use a wired bell box on the powermaster 10 or does it have to be wireless I know you can add a module on the 30 but can't seem to find one for the 10. Just did not know if they was a way round it. Thanks

Anybody able to advise? We currently have 2 entry/exits with 9930s but have a 3rd entrance where we'd like to fit another keypad and create a 3rd entry/exit. Is it possible? And is there a way of doing this 3rd entry/exit without cabling back to the 9651? Cheers, Steve

Its been 15 years + since I retired and I used fit and work on Gardtec and Honeywell Galaxy systems without trouble. However my brain box must have really slowed more than I realised because the Texecom Elite panel, expander and kp I have purchased to replace an old set up has me pulling my hair out. I have it operating on my bench only in a basic state I cannot find my way around the programming at all, I have the full installation manual. Is their anyone who lives in or around the Leeds Bradford area who is familiar with the Elite and would be kind enough to assist me in setting it up on the bench, then I can install the system myself in my home. It …

hi the key as broke inside the enable control. have called chubb but they do not supply spares . anyone know where i could buy one or similar to replace. thank you

Hi people, The title probably says it all. I have a Premier Elite which was set up a year ago, but I didn't quite get around to the final touch. On full arm I have all the zones on guard aside from the front door which is an entry/exit. On part arm, I have all zones on, but the landing sensor off (Part 1 omit) i.e. everything else left as is. In part arm, the front door still acts as an entry/exit meaning that if some miscreants broke the front door down, they'd have 15 seconds to find the keys and key fobs and theoretically disarm the system. Can I tell the front door switch to be entry/exit in the full arm, but guard in the part arm? Currently, every zone is on Area A, …

I installed an internal sounder last year which works fine. However I recently discovered that my external sounder isn't working. When I do a bell and light test 0#9, it checks out ok. I can't remember whether I disabled the sounder when I was working on the panel last year, is there a setting in the menu which enables external bell, internal sounder or both? I can't seem to find it. The external bell timer is set to the default 15 minutes.

Hi, 6 months ago I installed a Texecom Premier Elite with 6 Texecom Pirs, in my house. Everything worked fine until last week. All of the sudden when trying to arm I get a fault message for every zone: they're all active. But It worked fine until then... There were not other faults or problems I remember. Any ideas on how to solve this?

Hi I hope some one can help me.might sound really stupid.but i set my alarm. (enforcer) front door and back door as exit roots.ect but when I enter my house through the front door in dont time me. or anything or not even sets alarm off but my back door does time me to unset so I'm just puzzled. lol thanks in advance.

I have purchased a new unit and before full install in my home I have connected it up on the bench to familiarise myself. I have endstation one expander and one kp. I have followed the manual and programmed the system linked all 16 zones with 4.7k resisters quit engineering and gone back into standby mode and all is well kp display normal. However when I attempt to arm the display scrolls through the zones stating they are active and will not arm, turning all zones off the system it arms as it should, but even with just one zone on it will not arm. But in standby/unset mode everything is ok, disconnecting a zone resister causes a tamper as you wou…

Hi all, I was wondering if someone could help me. I have a Visonic PowerMaster 33 G2 alarm system installed at home without any expander. I also have Elmdene 7422-G3F external siren (ADT branded). I would like to use it with my alarm system. I have two questions: - What expander would I have to buy for my alarm - How do I wire the external siren to my alarm system I attached a photo of the siren. Any help would be much appreciated.
