The serial number is for the standlone MAX reader only, not the Keyprox keypads. You'll need to add the fobs by pressing 1 and A together briefly when in the "Card No" menu for the user. Erase the existing serial number first.

Have you removed the end of line resistor links on the PIR? Take the PCB out, on the rear left hand edge there may be 4 black jumper links across some of the pins. You need to remove them all if you haven't already.

My preference would be high impact, rigid 20mm black PVC conduit if you need to run surface containment. Kopex is likely to start sagging and generally look a bit rubbish after a bit of time in the elements. You can run the conduit to the camera and then use a male conduit adaptor on the end of...

I would agree with the above, sounds like a power issue. Some of those stripped alarm cables look dangerously close to the mains terminal block. Please be careful!

Try again, my profile was setup to not allow direct messages for some reason!

No problem

I install Galaxy alarm panels as part of my job so I do have a bit of experience with groups. The "also affects" part of the group programming allows zones programmed as Final that are physically within a certain group (ie Group 1) to terminate the exit procedure for other groups. This would...

Yes, that's correct. All RIO outputs are voltage driven, either positive or negative switching. The most common application would be to connect an internal sounder (the voltage driven type) to the Bells output for audible notification of an alarm activation. Some other applications I have used...

I think realistically the only way to achieve this might be as follows: Place all contacts in Group 1 Place selection of PIRs in Group 2 Place the remaining PIRs in Group 3 Place glass break sensors in Group 4 The PA and smokes can go into any group as technically their programming makes them...

It's a RIO, not a ROI - Remote Input Output. You can't connect a standard 16 ohm loud speaker to the outputs on them. You'll have to either change them for voltage driven sounders or wire them back to output 3 on the main panel only. Loudspeaker volume is adjusted in menu 51, option 82. Again...

Leave the zone programming as it is, change area A exit mode to timed and double check that your detectors are wired correctly (do they walk test?) Even with the exit mode set to Entry/Exit, the system should still be arming even though this is not the correct arming mode when using a PIR as the...

Set the user level as 2.1

That's a 12 volt PIR for an intruder alarm system, not suitable for controlling lights. Toolstation product code 65562 would be more suitable if you can flush mount it. Quite unobtrusive too.

No real need for CAT6 as far as domestic CCTV goes just yet, however it certainly wont do any harm to use it. It's a bit trickier to work with but doesn't cost much more than CAT5e and will future proof the installation. Your choice really

Probably easier to change the SSID and password on the new router to the same one as the old router. All wifi devices should re-connect to the new router without any issues then.

You can't see the Smartcom IP from the keypad. Mine is just populated with "000.000.000.000" I just use the "connect via Smartcom" option in Wintex to connect to the panel, then I have the option of connecting locally or away from home if I need to.

From your photos, I'd say it's a safe bet that the system has been downpowered for some time. It should be safe to remove any parts of it that are in the way. The control panel will be hidden away in an airing cupboard, built in cupboard or perhaps in the loft. Garages are also a common place...

You might find that the Galaxy panel will be too slow to respond to fast button presses of a doorbell to be of any use.

Looks like an 808 if it's a small-ish system, can't see any pins on the board for the plug on expander or IDIS board. If you google an installer manual for that panel, you'll find the procedure for resetting the user and engineer codes to factory defaults on page 34.

That will be white noise from the audio inputs on the back of the DVR you're hearing when you enable the audio on the video channel.
