It's not marketing any more it's Cambridge Analytica style brain washing....

It's a Visonic Powermax Express they are now discontinued

Delay 1 and 2 are likely two different delay timers but yes they are the "entry/exit" zones. Instant is what it says instant alarm. So yes you would have this external sensor on Delay if you wanted time to leave. As I say you would normally have delay on as minimal as possible circuits, just enough to get to the keypad for example a front door.

Adding an exit delay to something that you need to trigger instantly defeats the object of having the sensor. It's going to need the entry delay to expire before the system triggers you should consider other options like resiting or masking the PIR if you have to. It's a bit of an odd setup we wouldn't protect stuff like this in the UK

Exit delay isn't really the best option here can you not reposition the sensor

Don't fit Pyronix never rated it TBH, so not sure about the specific issue. If it's not fit for purpose use something else.

PCU5 is to make a wireless beam powered with a 12v conection

Not a beam but Texecom KIT-0079, 12v buzzer in a 12v boxed PSU. An alarm panel option wouldn't have to be used you enable chime and leave it alone. If you "have to" use the Optex beam I suggest using the transmitter they recommend, normally they have a Inovonics one.

I didn't recommend the beam it's a good product but just explaining the costs. Maybe the Takex is the right product if you know how to put it together. Anyone can throw an alarm panel at it. I have used Ricochet contacts to send signals back for example. Again this all goes back to X Y Problem.

Takex and Optex are similar quality kit. The Takex unit and the Optex with it's separate C form compatible transmitter unit will likely be similar cost wise. The idea with the Optex unit is you can choose any 3.6V C Form compatible transmitter or series a few beams on the same pole onto one transmitter. It also means you can select a radio frequency best suited to the country and application. Again we are talking professional grade perimeter protection here.

Well yes EN50131 refers back to BS4737 in a lot of cases.

We are talking professional grade kit designed to work in all weathers and through dense fog, not a £12 doorbell. Maybe ebay or online electrical retailers have something less pro that will suit your door bell scenario, if your not worried too much about reliability.

Everything gets old eventually

More items are using 868 now as 433 was congested. 868 is now very close to 4G mobile too. Your better to safe your money than fit DIY tat I would normally fit wires where possible but that doesn't mean a professional grade two way security system wouldn't be stable.

Minimum, maximum can be about four years if never activated. The is an option in the Master User Menu it gives you a period of time to replace batteries, TBH I have seen the option but never tried it, not had time to flash the test panel recently. It has to be enabled in the engineers for the option to be enabled to the master user only.

I agree there is XY Problem here. Is it just for chime? Can it be connected to an alarm? If you can only do radio you need some type of receiver house end.

Lets hope the charging circuit isn't knackered this time then.

*Sequences Shortened

If the PIR's don't trigger the lights everytime they will be on Auto, so sleep on activation. Batteries in the PIR's are Lithium CR123. Wireless smokes are AAA's. Texecom come with Duracell as standard. Smokes and PIR's should definitely get a year. Shocks and Contacts normally 2 years. There is a user battery replacement option on the Texe but it depends which firmware version. They are replacing like for like then, you'll have to see how you go but I would look at another option or resite myself.

Zone 2 - 7=0 8=0 9=1

It's a table of options you switch on and off. So toggle 7 on or off then refer to the appropriate tables for keys 8 and 9 Default 7/8/9 option is Normal night Circuit so it depends what you want.

To me it seems a case of using wireless for ease over considering the potential false alarms. If there wasn't an issue you wouldn't be concerned how they work. The devices themselves are pretty decent in the correct environment, they are manufactured in partnership with Apollo. I have only seen one failure and that was a week after someone had all there internal doors off to sand and paint them.

If they are the wireless ones there is only a multisensor option and I wouldn't call them suitable for a kitchen.

Looks good or maybe this https://www.loxone.com/enen/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2017/07/EN_Datasheet_200112_outdoor-motion-sensor.pdf

Plenty of 12VDC options. Was thinking LX-402 initially. What are you trying to achieve? Dual Tech/False alarm/pet immune is a bit vague? You have not mentioned anything about switching current and voltage. Sounds like something a IR beam may do a better job at.
