All Activity

your own alarm that you fitted yourself ?

I have a similar issue with premier elite 88. When system goes into full alarm active takes 3/4 attempts to disarm the systems from keypad via code or fob. Did replacing the panel resolve your issue

QFA Thats a bit like saying how long is a piece of string. There are millions of variations, lets start with basic questions: What sort of facility, office, factory, warehouse, garage,shop? Budget? What do you need the CCTV for: Surveillance, Observation, Theft Deterrent, Monitoring with detection, or just to view if something happens. What sort of quality you need, what sort of area do you need to cover, is there adequate lighting or do you need cameras with onboard lighting. These are just a few of the basic questions you need to answer before we can even start advising what kit to buy.

Hi If you started already , what did you install so far ?what did you choose ?

Hello, everyone! I recently started installing a security system at a facility. I am interested in advice on choosing equipment for effective video surveillance. I would appreciate any recommendations!

sensors have no reverse polarity protection, a short while with the battery the wrong way break them, IIRC they light up but won't learn on

The sensors are risco original. The models are 1PCT72X00000H.

Pictures , makes and models and what does log say

I have tested all the sensors, i have 10 different Door sensors. But only two have the tamper problem. I have also removed the sensors from the radio list. Now the problem is that without tamper communication i am unable to re-add the removed sensors.

I have a board lightsys (i do not know the right version, if the First model or the second one) with written the code 1PC432M00000E. I get this board with firmware 5.21. now i have updated the board and the firmware now is 6.09. On this board I have to install an ip module. The module I have is the RP512IP. It has the firmware version 0.58. is the ip module compatible with my lightsys? Which Is the version of my lightsys ? I tried to install the module on the board and throught the bus i can see the module, but in the CS i am unable to see mac and ip. Someone can help me to undestrand better my situation? Thanks

Well if you use supervised loop then you will save two cores at each detector Currently you might have a global tamper , but you won't need that

I feel confident to give it ago, just trying to understand wiring compatibility between units and if I can add wireless to hardwire, which I now believe I can.

Probably not the keypad thinking about it!

Am I right in thinking I could just change the control box and the existing sensors, keypad and bell box would all just wire in??

There's always taxing problems lol They still do the free cloud I believe but for DIY it's not bad if you can get your head round it

Thinking DIY if not too taxing, and correct wireless for the extra keypad, the rest using existing wiring assuming its the same. I'll have a look at the Scantronics ion 40. Thanks

Your going to DIY it? Scantronics ion 40 if that's the case If not then hkc and others will say texecom? You said no to wireless then said WiFi keypad , so you mean yes to wireless where needed , most panels these days will offer hybrid options

Hi I'd be grateful for any advice from anyone with system upgrade knowledge/experience. I have an installed ADE Optima Compact that is around 24yrs old and needs replacing. I do not want to go down the wireless route but I'm not sure if I'm restricted in alarm system choice that I could upgrade to using all the current original wiring?? I would also like to add an additional key pad at the back door without running an additional wire, I have read some hardwired systems also have wi-fi functionality, is this possible?? Any system recommendations to upgrade to?? Thanks

Here’s the solution. Make sure the battery is disconnected. Disconnect the tamper switch and bridge it out. LEDs alternating back and forth. Screenshot 2025-12-03 at 16.31.33.pdf

Thanks all. We'll try moving the expander.

If you can't move the bell move the expander ? Supervision faults are normally signal strength issues

For testing purposes why not? Surely your not relying on the bell for protection?

Thanks James and Al-Yeti, unfortunately the bell cannot be moved from its present position.

Agreed move the bell and see

So 12v connected to Bell + and hold off?
