Dandle Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 Hi everyone and sorry for dragging this topic back up. Im a newbie on here but have been reading the forum for about a month. I'm about to self fit a Texecom Premier 24 system to my house which is also home to two cats. After reading this thread im stuck on which pet immune detectors to buy, the two choices are K9-85 or the Texecom Prestige PW(Or is there a newer detector thats even better?). Which one is the preferred detector or they both much of a much? My other question is that the K9-85 is a grade 2 detector is it right that all pet immune detectors are grade 2? As i can't find any info for grade 3 Pet detectors or if the Prestige PW is a grade 2 or 3. Before anyone mentions it I know the system will not conform to grade 3 because of the fact I fitted it but I want to wire it up the same as a grade 3 system would be wired. Many thanks for any help guys, its much appreciated. Dan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

breff Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 Watch the maximum mounting height on prestige petwise detectors, IIRC its a maximum of about 6ft. Go for the k985s, I've got K980's and they work perfect when set up correctly, and this is coming from a Texecom fan. The opinions I express are mine and are usually correct!

It will make no difference to yourself at all if like most of us you live in a typical 3 bed semi in the suburbs. Grade 3 doesn't automatically make the system a better as such... With regards to pet sensors, I'm not sure if there are any grade 3 ones. I've had some success with the Rokonet Zodiacs and Optex RX40PT's. They seem to work OK without reducing the protection too much. Also fitted some Bosch Blueline Pet PIRs that were quite good, but they were only really suitable for cats and very small dogs (<10kg) Trade Member Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
