IanP Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Hello, first post! I've got a Securit 700L system with zones 1, 2, 3 & 4 used with PIRs. Zone 1 is by default Entry / Exit. I'd like to make Zone 3 the same, so I can enter/leave via a door in that zone also. I've got the manuals but cannot see a way of doing it... Any clues would be welcome!!!! Thanks.

al-yeti Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Do you have engineer code? Do you have installation manual? Does the walk route from zone 3 go via any other zones apart from zone 1 ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Changing the wiring is not that hard, remove wires from zone three fit link, remove one wire from zone one join it to one of the wires removed from zone 3, put the other wire from zone three in the vacant hole of zone one. This will do what you want but, if you have a false alarm on zone one you will never know what detector caused it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterJames Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 A keypad outside the protected area is always a good idea, if you make sure that its well warn on the numbers that make up your code. Really it all depends on the risk, I am guessing you havent got anything worth protecting, otherwise you wouldnt be here you would be having a proper alarm installed. Which means the type of burglar that will target you would most likely be an opportunist and not someone that has spent time watching you come and go and planned the heist of the century. So yes putting a keypad outside the protected area will work for you, but keep it clean, and bear in mind its not recommended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
