I have a new garden shed which I will use for a hobby room. I plan to have some 13 amp twin sockets installed and lighting. The garage is served by an armoured cable which exits the house via a wall box not too far from the shed. It's a modern install (<1 yr old) and has an isolating wall...

Can anyone in the forum advise which suppliers of Scantronic also supply an install manual. I will be fitting a Homelink 55, and Scan PIR's and door sensors, and will need the install documents. Thanks

The homelink 55 is advertised with a 9940 RKP and Prox and accepts extra RKP's either 9930 or 9940 according to the blurb. I can't find any 9930 or 9940 RKP's for sale. Can newer RKP models with prox be used with the supplied panel in the homelink 55? I also assume it can support any...

I'm about to bite the bullet and buy my new alarm. I need a hybrid as I cannot do wired contacts on front and rear doors. Here are my thoughts... Scantronic 9751EN-40 8 to 24 Zone with 9943 rkp with prox 1 X extra Scantronic 9943En LCD Remote Keypad with Proximity Tag for...

I have to use PIR's in my hall and kitchen as I cannot fit door contacts. The RKP will be in the hall but I will need to enter/exit from the back door in the kitchen or front door in the hall. How do I do this with PIR's as I also want to protect the kitchen if someone comes through a...

I am going to buy a Texecom system but want to add 2 X RKP's with proximity readers. I can't seem to find which panels support RKP's with prox :? Is it possible to buy a Texecom panel with 1 prox RKP and add another? Most I have seen advertised include a standard one only? I just need...

I have a Potterton Promax with a honeywell ST9100 and a DT90 Stat. It's all new but the DT90 is very annoyingly loud and I am concerned that it might be arcing. I'm not an electrician so please bear with me. whether the St9100 is off or on the stat constantly clicks every few minutes...

I have a new house with a Potterton Promax boiler. Is there a thermostat on this boiler and if so where is it located and what should the setting be? All I have found so far is the reset switch behind the drop down front panel. Also should the hot pipes from the boiler to the storage tank...

As a newbie installing my own alarm I have asked my builder to run in wiring for the system. He told me that with a lot of modern doors being metal framed most installers now use PIR's in place of contacts on front and rear doors? Is that true? I don't have problem using PIR's for that...

My new house is currently being pre-wired for an alarm that I will fit when I move in. The front and rear doors are metal framed with PVC skin. Will this present problems for door sensors? If so would I be better using PIR at the front door/hall and the same for the back door/kitchen...

I'm moving into a new house soon. It's brand new and on inspecting a similar house I found that in the roof space they now have the insulation not only level with the joists but at least another 150 mm above them. That's good news from an Eco point of view and saving on heating costs but...

I'm having a new house built at present and the builder will run in the wiring for my alarm, sensors and bell box if I give him the details. I'm confident enough to fit a wired alarm but have no idea what type to buy and more importantly where I need to site the PIR's and door sensors...

My first post so please be gentle :wink: I'm buying a new house, currently being built. Every week I pay a visit and take some photos, unfortunately I can't get too close because of the screens. My queston concerns the cavity wall insulation. I have attached a zoomed picture of the...
