Guest Chewie Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 I think I will go for the odyssey 3, they dont seem to have the 4 on this website. I need 5 PIR's, should I go for all dual tech. Was looking at these. http://www.alertelectrical.com/product.asp...=14&prodID=3208 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antinode Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 Thanks for the heads up.Which is the odyssey to go for 1,2 or 3. There is very little in price difference between them. Is the only difference the shape ? Is the 109db range enough or should I go for 115db All these questions. 39933[/snapback] Go for the loudest you can if your panel can cope with the current draw. It should be able to, but double check. The Odyssey 1, 2 and 3 E (the single sounder versions) draw 300 mA in alarm, including the strobe and sounder, the Odyssey 1, 2, and 3 draw 425 mA in alarm. There is no difference apart from the shape between the 1, 2 and 3 but there differences between the economy ("E") and standard versions.

Guest Chewie Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 Thanks. The manual states that my panel can output 1 amp when supported by a fully charged battery. What would the approx. current draw of PIR's and RKP's be. I have not seen these figures stated in any of the literature I have read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
secboy Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 Hey guys i think we are in danger of taking things too seriously here if the system is a diy job it really does not matter if you put a contact on the door or not if something starts to make a noise when your neigbour starts to climb through your window when your out at work with the pretence of "needed to borrow a cup of suger" officer!! he is going to try and extricate himself immediately without removing his wedding tackle on the window handle or falling into the rubbish bin which has recently had the latest deposit from the pet dog put in it, how ever if like me you want to know if the draft on the back of your neck is from a door left ajar or from the large crack left by the dodgy builders then go ahead and fit door contacts. Or as my mate says doors need friends Contact them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Cstew Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 Can someone tell me why you should have a door contact if the area is covered with a PIR.I was just going to use PIR sensors as I hate seeing cables anywhere and that is obviously a problem with using door contacts. 38532[/snapback] the reason why you have a door contact also, is besides telling the system that someone has entered the area it alows that area to be proteced if someone came thru a side window or a panel in the door and give an alarm condition , instead of a timed entry.

amateurandy Posted February 12, 2005 Share Posted February 12, 2005 wot about part set at night then, that would start the entry timer on access route 40246[/snapback] Why? You would program the part set devices appropriately; not necessarily the same as daytime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Chewie Posted February 13, 2005 Share Posted February 13, 2005 I have got a a roller/shutter door contact for the garage. It has 2 cables for the switch, and 2 cables which are normally closed (presumably for the tamper). These cables are in an armoured sheath. I want to use this in series with some regular door contacts. Am I right in thinking that the roller shutter contact would have to be last in the line or there is no way of including the cables in the armoured sheath in the tamper circuit.

Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
