What's everyone's opinion on these? I just got hold of a bunch of equipment with one of these included, so I decided I may aswell put it to use, by replacing a 10 year old Visonic Coral Plus with it. It seems pretty well built, and I like the concealed screw-on cover (I can't stand most clip on covers myself!) So what do you reckon? Is it a decent detector, performance-wise? If it is, I'm gonna pick up a couple more to add to the kitchen and dining room, which only have door and window contacts at present (all on the same zone aswell )

Well you certainly couldnt get any worse than the Coral Plus, possibly the cheapest and nastiest 'PIR' ever to be manufactured. A company i used to work for fitted them by the pallet load, then replaced them by the pallet load, only for them to be replaced by our supplier. It was a horrific vicious circle, have not a good word to say about them.

Worse than the cheapo Intellisense thing? I agree with you though. It's not the best!

Aritech is a top notch manufacturer of security equipment. High Street Banks have their detectors fitted as standard - so they must have a good rep. The EV105 is the lower end of the Aritech PIR range but it's the same technology that goes into all of them so I would suggest they are as good as you can get for a PIR. As usual it's the siting that is important.

the EV105 are nice pirs. Look quite smart and give good coverage.

The are also mirrored, giving 7 curtains set at 12m range

The DD100 range dualtechs look the same and r just as realiable.

Ive noticed my company using the 105s a lot more now. Personally I like them as dont seem to suffer from f/a`s as much as others (especially the EV125 range).No need to use resistors if put on the right setting. Saves a lot of time.
