    Veritas 8 alarm

    Most multimeters have a continuity function , touch the leads and it beeps .. so , if power is red + black , then yellow and blue will be alarm , so you either need to power the detectors and activate them one by one , or place a temp link across the alarm contacts , whilst touching your meter...

    Upgrading Bellbox for an Itec Meridian Control Panel

    Hi , Try the connections from panel to bell using a short length of 6 core cable , it will work. On some older panels the internal siren output carries on after the external bell timeout , so can be used for the strobe.

    Alarm recomendations

    Just to add... I would recommend the R8+ over the R8 , as for the extra few quid you get 8 user codes , 250 event memory , you can add an LCD display later if required , comms interface if required ,plus all the features of the veritas R8.

    OLD OPTIMA XL - BACKUP BATTERY

    Take out the wire from 12v+ , then measure the leads again , same for bellbox ( D ) , just incase one of the other powered devices has a fault , otherwise you will swap the panel , and still have a fault on your wiring.

    OLD OPTIMA XL - BACKUP BATTERY

    Just ensure nothing else is dragging the voltage down first , remove one leg of the 12v aux , then one from the SAB ( D ). Optima compact will do as a replacement.

    Did you measure the voltage with the battery still connected ?, if so , disconnect it and measure the voltage at end of the leads.If its still 9v , swap the panel.

    New Alarm System

    Yes , eol will give individual tamper indication , but it can be confusing for the first timer (especially when fault finding ).Another option would be to use to the 2 spare zones as tamper circuits giving 3 separate tamper circuits ( contacts , pirs , microwave). Why not set the kit out on a...

    New Alarm System

    Hi , The R8 comes with a detachable speaker.I always mount this separately , to give better sound dispersion throughout the property , and it won't give away the location of the end station (panel) to incoming scumbags.

    New Alarm System

    Hi , The Texecom system is better that the ADE . Have a look at the Optex range of detectors (Security Warehouse). The extension speaker is used for exit / entry tones and full alarm tone, and is helpful if you put the main panel in a cupboard upstairs , but you want the warning tones...
