Guest rjenkins Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 Hi, I'm planning to replace the alarm system at a house I just moved to and would appreciate some advice on the type & location of sensors to use in the garage. It is a detached double garage roughly 6m square, one piece up & over door, medium sized window at the back (south facing) plus an entry door & window in one side wall (door against back wall). The door is fiberglass. The back window will get full sun, & through tree branches later in the day. Is there any type of area sensor that I can use in the garage that wouldn't be subject to false triggering? Any ideas appreciated, Robert Jenkins.

ian.cant Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 Is there any type of area sensor that I can use in the garage that wouldn't be subject to false triggering Simple answer to that question is a no, if you could design one you would be a very rich person. There are thankfully some which are more unlikley to trigger than others and the type you need would known as a dual technology sensor (dualtec for short). Many manufactures make them and many different engineers will have theyre own favorite. I am sure within 24hrs you will have a fine list to choose from as the guyz come in from work and post theyre choice.

Guest Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 C&K dualtechs seem fine if you set the microwave part of it just high enough to trigger from internal movement and no more. Texecom premier DT is also a good piece of kit.
