True, the PIR's in kits tend to be the lowest spec ones...........any personal experience with poor texecom wireless ones?

thanks sparkymarka, Kit looks good value, looks like id just need a battery and cover for the sounder (+another contact)?? I love the texecom prem PIRS, have always fitted the DT's or TD's and have never had any problems regarding false alarms, even when placing in garages/sheds with rodents...

Hi guys Am after a recomendation for a wireless alarm. Im an industrial sparks so dont generally do alarms but i have done a dozen or so in the past, Accenta or Texecom prem 24 usually. They have all been wired systems programmed with wintex. I am wanting to fit a wireless alarm to a...

Cheers Relative has decided to go with the prem elite 24 which im happy about as im familiar with the panel. On the subject of the PIR's, i have used the prem elite TD and DT before but never used the high immunity IR or Quad element versions. How good are the IR and Quad versions for the...

Looks like veritas might be the way to go as i will need a bit of room inside as some of the wires will need extending. Either that or convince them to have the prem elite and have a keypad mounted at the side of it. Does the veritas except eol? and do the prem elite pir’s work with it?

Those are the ones yep, have a look at the different types, they do a few different versions which you could decide on depending on where they are being fitted (i.e, garage, conservatory). They have resistors built in and you can alter ‘jumper’ clips inside for different resistance values...

Veritas is cheap so appeals, any difference between this and the veritas r8? They both easy to program? I take it the veritas cant utilise EOL wiring? But i guess they take the texecom premier elite pir’s like the td or dt? Cheers

I believe so yes aslong as the panel hasnt been set up to prevent this. You need to get hold of the manual from the internet for the prem elite panels, it looks daunting but its really a straight forward read..... have a go at wiring your system as EOL. Get some prem elite sensors with built...

Thats exactly what i have at my house. Prem elite 24 panel hidden away, keypad at entry door and one on upstairs landing so can set at night. Works very well. You could do with the wintex software and usbcom cable to program it on your laptop and transfer to panel.....makes everything a million...

Looking for a recommendation for a panel swap i am going to be doing for a family member. Existing system is a basic stand alone panel with onboard keypad located by the front entrance door. The system only has 3 PIR's and a mag on the front door. I have installed several premier elite's with...

Thanks guys, ill go with that then.

I installed a premier elite panel in my house 18 month back, eol wired. All running ok no issues. I am wanting to add a PIR to my garage as i feel its needed. Can anyone shed any light on if its wise to PIR the garage (which is not attached to house). I have a spare Texecom prem elite DT sensor...

Hi guys After some advice on how great PIR's are in garages. Premier elite panel that i installed and programmed myself going on a year now done as EOL wiring. Just getting around to alarming the garage up and pondering best way to do it. Garage has a side UPVC door and a garage door with no...

To be honest, any shower i do these days i strongly recommend a 10mm cable, makes sense for the modest price difference. I think seperate shower consumer will be the way i will go as atleast i can be happy with it.

yeah ive used the 60898 new plug in ones plenty of times. Customer has already bought a 10.5Kw shower :LOL:. A couple of years ago i got called to a CU that was smoking and smelling. The 63A main switch was burnt up which looked like it started internally (not a loose tails connection) which...

I did wonder about the supply fuse size but luckily there is a Rec isolator after the meter so i wouldnt have to pull it, appreciatively that doesnt help if the additional load was too much for it. A 60A fuse would 'protect' the RCCB but id be worried if it blew one day and a network guy just...

Hi guys, would appreciate some comments on what others would consider best option in the following circumstance..... Customer wants a shower circuit running from existing CU.......the circuit itself isnt the problem, its how best to suplly it. Currently installed is an old (80's??) wylex...

Hi guys, i would appreciate any advice if someone has come across this problem before. Hikvision turbo dvr running 3 cameras, dvr set for motion detection with sensitivity set fairly high. Ive noticed that 2 of the camera's dont pick me up/record me at night walking up the drive way. They pick...

Hi Just moved into a new house and it has a condensing boiler system. The actual boiler is a Baxi in the kithchen with a flu to the outside and the water tank and expansion tank is upstairs in a seperate cupboard. I have a few questions regarding this system as there are certain things that...

Yeah my thoughts exactly lads, never really thought about it to be honest before.
