Not quite what I was thinking by a surge protected fused spur - good try though... ;-) Glad you said that 'cos it was the ACT stuff I fitted, though not exactly that in the link. Good news on the battery front, thanks both. Just starting to plan it all now - am I right in thinking that...

One question I forgot to ask was about batteries... Will this one be suitable and fit in the panel? http://www.securitywarehouse.co.uk/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&manufacturers_id=9&products_id=113 Thanks

If you can find one, please give me the link and I'll bow to your superior googling skills - I've tried and failed more than once, then resorted to aftermarket suppressors !!! :? I think mryoung might be correct about te stella - ostridges !?!?! lol Hopefully I'll get the stuff...

Fused spur already in to old panel thankfully, I put that in 6+ years ago (before any new regs came in - I hope !) Not sure if it counts as lights but it was a bug*er getting the cable from the lamppost outside.... :lol: Heres a question off on a tangent for you - why doesn't anyone make...

:lol: that about sums me up ! The M12 it is then, can't get a better recommendation. I'll see if I can split the orders to get the best prices and fall within the free delivery brackets. Midlands sorted ? Darn. I'm on the Staffs border, so... :wink: I know I'd said so before but I...

Great, I understand now. I'll probably still balls it up, but at least I'll understand what I'm ballsing up !! lol Capable ? me ? lol I've got you fooled then !! Funnily enough I'd shortlisted that detector. I'm thinking smoke would be preferable to heat, but then that did both so...

Only 2 pairs in a 6 core cable, all that wasted copper...! :wink: Never mind running whilst trying to walk, I'm up to a steady jog but I feel a sprint coming on !!! Thanks for the reality check. It made more sense as soon as I sketched it out on paper. Using more pairs than I need soon...

Thanks Alarm. Thinking a bit more about it, by using only two cores for the loop I would then need to connect the two (i.e tamper and trigger) in series in the device (PIR etc). Not that its a problem but just wondering is that the norm/best practice, or would you use 4 cores (excluding...

I told you I'd be back ! I'll ask this here for now anyway though it might be better in a new topic perhaps ? I have a question re End of Line wiring - this isn't supported in my old/current 800L panel so is new to me, blo*dy clever stuff though and I'm finding this really interesting ...

No problem I didn't take any offence ! I can see thie Texecom is one serious panel compared to the current one - installation manual of 112 A4 pages vs 15 A5 pages ! :shock: I'll be back...! Cheers :mrgreen:

And I very much appreciate the help, I never said I was set on having 2 panels ! I was however curious on the reasons why that isn't a good idea and now I understand a little more I can see that it will be worth the effort to switch panels. Even looking forward to it in a strange sort of way...

I understand the Texecom Premier 48 supports 'areas' - would this be suitable along with a couple of the basic keypads ??? And would this come complete with installation manual or am I going to struggle with that ? Final question (for now !) is any recommendations for suppliers to private...

Yes, currently only the one panel. Not sure I follow what you mean by it would disable the other one ? I thought that if the garage alarm went off and it opened the tamper on the house alarm, that would effectively set both off and could solve the problem ? Would mean having to reset 2...

Thanks yet again, will do some research. Out of interest though - or my fallback option - would that relay trick work ok or are there any major downsides I'm missing ???

Thanks, off the top of your head can you name a suitable panel I can look at ? It would be the neatest solution but I must admit I would have a couple of reservations about doing it - firstly disturbing an otherwise stable system (hope the install notes I made are sufficient to swap panels...

Thanks for the replies so far, the house panel is a Intellisense / Honeywell 800L and was thinking of getting the same for the garage if only to act as a future 'spare' if necessary. Another keypad would be possible but I presume the entry/exit tones would also sound on the 'house' keypad...

Hi Hope someone can advise with this one ? I fitted an alarm into the house a few years ago. The garage is attached to the house and the main garage door has a magnetic contact and a zone all to itself. I now wish to separately alarm the garage, basically so the garage can be entered...

Thanks for the reply. Got a reputable local company to come and give a quote for a complete removal of old wood fascias, asbestos soffits and guttering and replacement with installation of new Swish-made upvc stuff, front, back and gable end, £2100. Guess we'd need another quote for...

Hi The wooden fascia on my mom's semi-detached bungalow (built 1958) are in need of attention. One end is rotten, but the rest seems faily sound although has cracked/peeling layers of paint in places along most of the rest of the length (7m ish) I was thinking of cutting out and replacing...
