Honeywell Galaxy G2-20 Wireless Kit

[Matthew Copeland]

Hi Guys, 

 

We currently have a 10 year old, wired, Nexus 8 intruder alarm. Intending to change it and got a quote from a company for £1000. Anyway...seen this Galaxy G2-20 wireless pack online and it seemed good value for money.

 

Questions: 

 

1. Would it be easy enough to self install/replace the existing one with? 

2. I assume (from looking at online manual) that the only wiring that would be involved would be between the keypad, control panel and RF portal? 

3. How would I stop the bell box from going off outside if I was to change the panel about? 

 

Appreciate the tips guys.

£1000 would all be relative on what's included and what's needed for the property. Have you not had quotes from a few companies?

That's difficult to answer, it depends how competent you are? Also how much you value your time spending on working it out.

What about the bellbox? Is there something wrong with the existing kit?

You have to get up to it and hope you don't need to smash it to bits to open it. Unless the bell in question has a fancy engineers mode.
