aissecur Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Pyronix enforcer panel in the house, fit one of their new wireless pirs (XDL12TT-WE) across the driveway (when set up correctly it can give you push notifications to your mobile phone) - probably not as good as IR beam but just making a suggestion...

Tom Delaney Posted July 31, 2019 Author Share Posted July 31, 2019 Al-yeti, yes that's exactly what I did 15 years ago! I simply put a washer inside the bell push that makes permanent contact, so as soon as the Takex sends an alarm output, power (12v using a transfomer, and ditching the internal battery) is sent through the bell push button and alerts the indoor chime. It has worked an absolute treat. We NEVER get a false alarm, either! However, this time I need to use the Optex, and unfortunately that has 3.6v rather than volt-free connections. Optex have told me to use a 'PCU-5'. I don't know what that is, but I assume it drops the voltage to 3.6v. That's no good as 3.6v won't operate a wireless door chime button. I will Google 'HKC alarm'. Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/42983-wireless-chimer/page/3/#findComment-487014 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Delaney Posted July 31, 2019 Author Share Posted July 31, 2019 Many thanks for the replies, by the way. I can't use the HKC (or any other control panel system) as both family members are elderly, and can't cope with a control panel. They just want an alert, like mine, that tells them someone is walking down their driveway. Even a Ring is pointless as the notification to the user is far too delayed in time (and sometimes non-existant!).

sixwheeledbeast Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Not a beam but Texecom KIT-0079, 12v buzzer in a 12v boxed PSU. An alarm panel option wouldn't have to be used you enable chime and leave it alone. If you "have to" use the Optex beam I suggest using the transmitter they recommend, normally they have a Inovonics one. 1 Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/42983-wireless-chimer/page/3/#findComment-487016 Share on other sites More sharing options...
