cheapest option scantronic 9448 +
hi there,
is there a reason you only want to use sensors and no contacts?
happy to recommend some systems to you but quite often there are other option.

It's not for me but a friend has requested one. Not something I normally get involved in.hi there,

All they want is some alarm security on the front and back doors, can be sensors or contacts. But no other zones require security.

its worth keeping in mind the main entry exit route will have a time delay before setting of the alarm.
if you use only contacts, you are reliant on someone breaking in the door. if the come through a window they can freely walk around.

Point noted and I did mention this with regards to the windows, but for some reason they are intent on having door contacts only.its worth keeping in mind the main entry exit route will have a time delay before setting of the alarm.

Hi,
Good to hear from someone in my homeland. Each of the above are valid comments from wise people. You haven't mentioned what you are protecting and I am therefore assuming that it is not hard goods. Have you considered what type of warning you want. External sounder or internal sounder ? I am going to recommend that you go for the cheapest ADE panel you can find, google it, they are a few quid. Try somewhere like security warehouse, again type it in and search. You can use the cheapest door contacts, about a quid each which are universal and fit all control panels. You also have the option of extending the system at a later date since you shall only be using one or two zones of a six zone panel. As far as the delay on exit is concerned, consider a final exit push button. Once again, all the above posts have their merits, but I don't really think you want to go much further than say about thirty odd.

The property is a domestic dwelling, semi-detached 3 door house.
The home owner only wants security on the front and back door, the aim would be to inform her of intruders and to be a deterrent.

Contacts on the doors connected in series with the coil of a small relay and a ELV power source ( use the door bell transformer if there is one ).
Use the relay to switch the ELV power to a bell. Fit a switch in series with the bell to turn the "alarm" off when not needed.
Use magnet reed switches that close when the magnet is removed and there is no need for the relay ( contacts in parallel ) though switching the ELV to the bell may be too much for the reed contacts and a relay would prolong the life of the contacts.

There's 45 minutes to go and it's at £26 but they are selling for brand new at £33, so I don't know whether to carry on bidding.
