It would need an annual monitoring charge. Its not a one off fee

Ideally ypu need a hi lo sounder

Have a look at the nsi website for nsi installers in your area and get 3 quotes. Then post back etc

They were magnetic sensitive so had to be away from that. Also weren't supposed to extend the white leg so shutters, sealed stuff etc 'could' be an issue

There was a replacement called oip never adopted by anyone but gjd iirc

If its not doing anything and it has 12v at the keypad terminals I'd say you have either blown it or its doa

Check there is data getting to the keypad. Disconnect all keypad connections and test it on the cp on a short temp wire

It is worrying how cctv seems to be the ideal for all, but when something happens it rarely is. Hopefully people will ask a security professional their opinion just before the hot place freezes over. Then we will all be tarred with the same brush as nest and ring. Isn't it brilliant marketing

Eng manuals are only on the trade side. Batts depend on device the contacts are different to the passives to the bell etc

Use an output programmed as ee horn. Or a proper speaker. Hate those twin alert things

Hi there

also in EN a circuit has to perform certain actions within a set time. 10 seconds or twice wouldn't meet that requirement so technically any insurance, certification and claims to compliance could be void

But it's still a recognised brand. It's assumed im assuming that makes it better than the professional stuff. As Pete has said previously 'wonder why b&q etc don't have a yale bell on them' good job they have a decent system protecting all that yale stock....

Everything should be tested once a month on the user walk test anyway?

Used to be back in the day

Good unit though, what you thinking instead?

Yes but those outputs can't drive anything they are pretty much logic states. You need to add a wireless transmitter for the system it is to be used on to relay to the house

I would stop looking at yale too

X y problem? They are designed to be connected to a wireless transmitter. Then use the contacts on the receiver to drive your wired sounder unit

Yes it's possible to change your own batteries but possible and a good idea are 2 different things. I wouldnt get involved in that especially if your insisting on annual changes

I would leave it to the maintainer but batteries should last more than 2years. Manufacture spec may say much higher but I'd still go every other year. If its failing before that I'd replace the device. Also as your 7 years into device design its close

It would fit but I've never tried

maybe this? https://www.securitywarehouse.co.uk/catalog/intruder-alarm-c-36/movement-detectors-c-36_116/all-c-36_116_37/takex-dualzone-12m-180-degrees-pet-external-detector-p-3865.html

180 degree will be hard on anything decent. All decent sensors I know of are 90 deg max
