  1. It is worrying how cctv seems to be the ideal for all, but when something happens it rarely is. Hopefully people will ask a security professional their opinion just before the hot place freezes over. Then we will all be tarred with the same brush as nest and ring. Isn't it brilliant marketing
  2. Eng manuals are only on the trade side. Batts depend on device the contacts are different to the passives to the bell etc
  3. Use an output programmed as ee horn. Or a proper speaker. Hate those twin alert things
  4. also in EN a circuit has to perform certain actions within a set time. 10 seconds or twice wouldn't meet that requirement so technically any insurance, certification and claims to compliance could be void
  5. But it's still a recognised brand. It's assumed im assuming that makes it better than the professional stuff. As Pete has said previously 'wonder why b&q etc don't have a yale bell on them' good job they have a decent system protecting all that yale stock....
  6. Everything should be tested once a month on the user walk test anyway?
  7. Good unit though, what you thinking instead?
  8. Yes but those outputs can't drive anything they are pretty much logic states. You need to add a wireless transmitter for the system it is to be used on to relay to the house
  9. X y problem? They are designed to be connected to a wireless transmitter. Then use the contacts on the receiver to drive your wired sounder unit
  10. Yes it's possible to change your own batteries but possible and a good idea are 2 different things. I wouldnt get involved in that especially if your insisting on annual changes
  11. I would leave it to the maintainer but batteries should last more than 2years. Manufacture spec may say much higher but I'd still go every other year. If its failing before that I'd replace the device. Also as your 7 years into device design its close
  12. It would fit but I've never tried
  13. maybe this? https://www.securitywarehouse.co.uk/catalog/intruder-alarm-c-36/movement-detectors-c-36_116/all-c-36_116_37/takex-dualzone-12m-180-degrees-pet-external-detector-p-3865.html
  14. 180 degree will be hard on anything decent. All decent sensors I know of are 90 deg max
  15. Fair enough I didnt think it was permitted only bs5839 compliant could. Ive never put an intruder alarm with smokes on brigade calling
  16. Out of interest how is a Premier on brigade response?
  17. Yes especially if your pushing more day mode current
  18. G2 is still available But I'd check everything before condemning it
  19. You can as long as they arnt i&has components
