steveyd2010 Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Hi, I have just purchased a new house (which is going to be a rental) and am installing an alarm system in it. One question I have it for the conservatory. Is there a particular detector that you would fit in this room or would you just use a standard PIR? Any advice would be appreciated.

sixwheeledbeast Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Hi, I have just purchased a new house (which is going to be a rental) and am installing an alarm system in it. One question I have it for the conservatory. Is there a particular detector that you would fit in this room or would you just use a standard PIR? Any advice would be appreciated. I would definately get a better sensor than a standard PIR, due to the temperature changes in conservatories. I would personally use a Optex FX50SQ (Super-Quad) it is designed for environments like this. Product Info Sheet Ensure it's a SQ model for the "Patented Double Conductive Shielding" Other manufacturers make "harsh environment quad pirs" Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/30528-conservatory-detectors/#findComment-263445 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Oxo Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 As above a good quad or DT. Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/30528-conservatory-detectors/#findComment-263446 Share on other sites More sharing options...
james.wilson Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Agreed and if so dt (which is what I would use) use a k band one. And position it for best microwave leakage securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.

sixwheeledbeast Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 As above a good quad or DT. The only problem I have with a Dual-Tech in a conservatory is it's pointless unless the microwave range can be set perfectly. Why pay more money for two technologies, if one of them is looking into next doors conservatory or sensing a cat on the window ledge outside?

james.wilson Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 A piece of any type will struggle to detect or false alarms IF the area starts getting close to body heat. Plus k band has less leakage so has been the way we have done it for years. securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.

steveyd2010 Posted December 28, 2010 Author Share Posted December 28, 2010 Thanks guys, other option is just not to alarm to conservatory but tbh im of the opinion that if a jobs worth doing ect..........would you normally alarm a conservatory or just alarm the adjoining room in the main house?

Guest Oxo Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 My first answer was to lock off the conservatory from the house and forget it. However I do not know the layout. And there could be some decent TV/Sound system in there anyway. Use a DT and set it up as per manufacturer instructions.

Depends on the house but it's the thing to put a 42 inch tv in the conservatory. And it's possibly the most vulnerable part of the house. Also there maybe no need for the adjoining room to need a sensor if there is no external point of access, if a conservatory sensor is fitted. I would fit one.
