al-yeti Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Where does it say preAlarm? I thought prealarm was only on smokes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justin Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Must be 20 years since I was last latching PIR's. Good days though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JB_ Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 I'm having a guess at the 'pre-alarm' feature is a short LED flash for each pulse/beam before full alarm. Which is pointless as there'll be no one to see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arf-Gef Posted May 4, 2015 Author Share Posted May 4, 2015 @Yeti: see second post, click the upper link then on the site here is a list of fetures. The third mentioned feture is pre alarm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al-yeti Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 I still think this is satel breaking into u.k market they do try and sell here I believe, if it isn't , it's not a bad way to keep the satel links up instead of being blatant lol why not just ask the rep from satel? They seem to have a tech support manuals etc etc Could be wrong of course I am tsi affected Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arf-Gef Posted May 4, 2015 Author Share Posted May 4, 2015 I thought about that and did ask the sales rep a couple of stupid newb questions, but they have a dim view on DIY setups and keep recommending me that I should consult an installer.Which of course isn't helpful because I don't want it to be installed anywhere apart from a big thick plywood board in the shed.

al-yeti Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Ok so why not setup a company and go on training g course and then apply for an account and course with them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arf-Gef Posted May 5, 2015 Author Share Posted May 5, 2015 (edited) 1. this is a side interest I do on top of studying at uni, working and private life.2. setting up a company is costly and cumbersome here and even after setting up I would have to do a lot of bureaucratic paperwork every year. (tax papers even if I have no income, commerce chamber charges etc.)and all of this, while I have 0 intention to ever do this professionally or commercially, just to satisfy my curiosity.On top of all that I think in order to be registered as a company setting up alarms I would have to make a course 1.5 years long, costing around 800 quid and taking up 3 days every week. I looked it up that is the training for alarm technicians.At least that is the straight way to setting up company related to alarms. Probably there are other ways but I'm not aware of them.I don't have so much money for it and I don't have so much time for it.

Arf-Gef Posted May 5, 2015 Author Share Posted May 5, 2015 (but I still don't know what alarm latch and pre alarm fetures mean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james.wilson Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Alarm latch makes the led remain lit after an event. It was designed when controls were small and you couldn't always have only 1 device per circuit. So if for example you had 2 detectors you could identify which one caused the activation. Not really used anymore 1 Quote securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.
