Do people mix and match panels and pirs ?

[markyuk]

Hi decided on a euro 46 app panel,
is there preferred accessories ie PIR,door sensors, lcd pads do people stick to the same make as the panel or by other makes.
Is there a best make ?
what do people fit mostly

many thanks

With your euro 46 control panel you have to use the same manufacturers keypads.
The door contact and pir can be any make or a mixture of manufacturers.
I would choose pir and contacts that already have the EOL fitted otherwise you would have to fit the resistors to the devices,which is not difficult.
Have you got pets ?
Have you got open fire/log stove or conservatory?
You can purchase pet enabled pir if you have pets and dual technology sensors for areas with stoves or a conservatory.

Hi thanks for reply
understand on the keypads,
Yer have a small cat but that's it no fires,conservatory etc
so do the pet PIRs really work.
Assume with the EOL pirs most Panels use the same resistor values/ or set to ?
why ask about the Fires , conservatory's ?

thanks very much

Pet sensor do work when sited correctly
Pir do not like heat sources like open fires and stoves,also conservatories have heat build up during warm weather.
I would always fit dual technology sensor near stove,conservatories and in garages,sheds.
