The Galaxy G2 series with low cost IP module enables remote control and low cost IP based monitoring. You're looking at ~£50 for a G2-20 (12 hardwired zones + another 8 wireless zones via RF portal) ~ £35 for a prox keypad ~ £35 for the RF portal £50 for the IP module £30 for a Texecom...

It's a pity your requirements are for a wireless bell, as the Galaxy G2 range are excellent value for money.

Different failure modes. One had gone open circuit which would be a typical failure mode of any transformer. The other was probably being overloaded with an old battery or faulty circuit. You're suggesting that yours has some sort of fault that's switching the whole house power off and on...

No issues seen on the very simple transformer in the Galaxy series. I would put my money on a loose connection in your mains setup and vibration while working in the area is causing problems. I would consider getting an electrician in to give it a check over.

Only really the transformer in the G2 unit would give earth leakage. I wouldn't suspect that to cause the whole house to switch off. The battery was probably at the end of its life, so changing was the best thing to do. Normally any electrical fault condition results in a throw of the...

Yes, you need to use a single 1k resistor if you want to do that. The Galaxy panels default zone resistance settings are 1k closed and 2k open.

More than likely will be standard 6 or 8 core alarm signal cable and will be fine.

The 44+ supports the old ecp bus and the g2 gsm modem which is no longer made. The only way to tell the difference between the non '+' models is by the label or by powering on and displaying system details. There's still a lot of life in the g2 series yet. You can add low cost ethernet and...

It is an ADT G2-44 firmware version 1.41. The manual shows the PCB for the G2-44+ which is why it looks different. The G2-12, G2-20 and G2-44 all have the same layout PCB. The panel is 6 years old. The latest G2 firmware is now 1.55 Still a brilliant panel though!

As per Alan, the IP module enables three separate things- 1. Programming settings with Honeywell RSS software direct to the panel 2. Android or iPhone app control direct to the panel 3. SelfMon monitoring for SMS/Voice/Email events and line path checking - £1 a month The on-board dialer...

For a new build it's best to get a wired system. Wireless systems have battery maintenance. Also, you're tied to the vendors sensors and cannot just select any sensor like you can with hard wired. £1200 sounds very expensive for what you are getting (based on your description). Hardware...

Just add your own switch. Place it between the S terminal and the wires you removed. A small toggle switch could probably be placed unobtrusively in the side of the backplate. Something like...

A quick look at the wiring diagram shows terminal 'S' connected to the external push switch on the entry system. Try disconnecting the wires connected to 'S'. Insulate them and keep them out of the way. I've not played much with intercoms, but if the diagram is correct the switch is normally...

No, not out of the box. The SIA based protocol will send to a receiver, who would then need to talk to an email server.

Enter your code, 'ent', menu 23 -Sys Version

You need to connect to power and the A/B data bus. After that, you need to 'esc' from engineering mode for the panel to pick up the module. Panel menu then programmed for IP address and your routers IP address. Firmware needs to be 1.40 or above on the G2.

Only required if you are siting the box at low height. The metal case does have twin Piezo's though, so is louder 115db. The 3E is cheaper as it is the economy version with only 1 Piezo 108db. The standard 3 is non metal with twin Piezo 115db.

Go for a Texecom Odyssey 3E. Decent low cost sounders. The Honeywell are okay, but not as good as the Texecom Oddy. The round TCC8M fobs are best. The older TCB800M are too big.

Honeywell support are crap anyway. The OP doesn't need them. The hardware is well proven and I know hundreds of self installers who have installed with no issues at all. In fact, the Galaxy panels are much easier to install than many DIY panels. I'm not sure why so many installers say they...
