Hi Everyone, I've previously setup an alarm system with honeywell 8ir103 PIRs with the resisters etc. I'm installing another G2 system and the PIRs are end of life so now using IS312 PIRs. Can someone just clarify which terminals on the PIR i use for each of the 2 data cables, and I presume i'll...

I want to install a 12v dc smart doorbell and run the cabling under floorboards along the joist cable clipped, along with all the twin and earth etc cables. However, am i correct that I cannot run the standard bell wire alongside/near the main 240v twin and earth lighting/socket cables? I might...

I have a galaxy panel which currently has a keypad linked straight to the panel in the loft using all on board zones and an RF portal next to the keypad daisy chained off the keypad. My question is how many data lines can be run off the main pcb from the A B data line if I wanted to add another...

Hi. I purchased 2 x BG Doorbell Transformers both of which I am unable to get any DC output out of any of the terminals. I took them back for another and the same issue. I can't believe that I have 3 faulty transformers but can't see I'm doing anything daft. I can check with multimeter and get...

Hi, I've currently got installed a G2 panel with ethernet self-mon module (all self installed) which has been fault free for 6 years. I'll be installing an alarm system at another property, and wondered if I should still go for the G2 panels, or whether to opt for the flex panel. Is the wiring...

I've currently got a wired galaxy g2 system which has been great over the last 6 years with no false alarms or issues, and only just changed the backup battery this year. On another property i'm looking to install a Galaxy Flex system but thinking of going fully wireless on all PIR's etc to ease...

If i wanted to change my Alarm Panel (self installed) from a G2-12 to G2-48 panel, whats the easiest way to move the bell box connections with making the least amount of noise? I'm assuming that as soon as i remove the current cable connections from the board, the sounder is going to sound until...

I have a honeywell G2 system with majority of sensors wired, but i have 1 wireless PIR DT8M. For some random reason i walked into the room with the wireless PIR sensor and noticed on movement that the red LED was no longer lighting up. I went into zone walk test and set active, however one...

I have a laser printer which is in the corner of a room. the room has a PIR sensor in the opposite corner but on the same side of the wall. I remotely print to the printer whilst away from home so they are there on the printer waiting for when I return home. however on most but not all times...

Hi If i want to add protection to my gate and add it to my intruder alarm system whats the best way to do this? I do not think Honeywell make an external weather proof connector for the G2 range? Can i use normal door contacts or photocells? I bought a wireless door contact with external input...

I've had a Galaxy G2 Panel in place for several years and always had it set to be a 15 second countdown timer before the system full sets. I have a door contact set as FINAL. However, is it possible whereby when i'm exiting the house and full set, that the system can interrupt that the countdown...

I've purchased a P026 rio and for some reason when i connect a keypad to the 12V+1 and 0v connection the keypad works but when it's connected to the 12V+2 second set of power connections it doesn't get any power. Am i missing something or is the panel faulty?

When would use choose the Honeywell POWER rio over just the normal RIO? I'm assuming the powered rio would allow you to run an additional bell box easier (by programming the outputs?), but are there any other benefits? Thanks

On my intruder alarm system I have some smoke detectors set up as a fire zone which assume means they are monitored 24 7 and will alert me if activated. However if I were to test them using a paperclip will it just test the smoke detector sounder or will it also signal back to the panel and...

I've tried to hook up an alarm door contact to my NVR to switch to full screen on a particular channel in the event of a door being open. It kind of half works.... I've got everything set up, but can only get it to switch to full screen using the door contact tamper switch. Whether i set the...

I'm looking for some clarification regarding the groups feature of the honeywell galaxy g2 range. Is it right that it means if ihad a keypad in both the main house, and one in an outbuilding, by using groups, i can unset the main house leaving the outbuilding set, then I can go into the...

I've currently got a honeywell g2-12 panel and got my hands on a g2-44 panel to expand my zone capability, but within the docs and the banner on the screen its an ADT version. - yes it was an ebay job as a left over from an install and didnt mention it was and ADT version. Can anyone advise...

I have a Hikvison NVR, Model DS-7608NI-E2/8P that has some alarm inputs/outputs on the back that I want to use. However, i can't work out how to connect the cables. It didn't come with a green connecting block that plugs in to then connect the cables. Where do i get them from to be able to use...

Hi I have a C079-2 RF portal that doesnt have the metal antennae sticking out from the side of the board that normally points vertically. I previously had the first gen c079 portal which did have the antennae, but c079-2 didn't. I have been looking at getting a second RF portal of which one is...
