Humbly Asking For Your Esteemed Advice

like i said, KING i am the 595 takes 2.

yup your right (for a change )!

according to the brochure, it handles 16 radio devices, so assume like you say (2 x 8) but i'm darned shure sales told me only 1 Rx . might be the Rx don't go direct onto the panel without an interface board or from another board mounted expander.

i was quoting on a large house alarm recently and checked it out, but i decide to go with hard wired as just too many egg's in one basket for my liking.

i don't mind small systems or as an add on for larger wired system to save awkward wiring, but to have over 8 radio devices is not for me just yet, old fashion caution cuts in, or am i chicken? .

i only respond to trade members

lol, only kidding matey, i'm always right ask arf

apparently I`m never right

Wireless DTs are available, but not for risco panels.

But no doubt most manufactures will be making them soon.

Does no one read any trade press?

So if I understand the pro's opinions, I should try and keep the wireless bits below 8 and hardwire as much as I can. (Stay with the 595 or drop to CPX?).

Without the manual (until I buy the panel), I'll would position the panel in the cupboard below the stairs (pantry) where the consumer unit is. There is a window in there too, so I could hardwire a digi shock detector on that window - short cable run and no need for discreet wiring.

I take it the cables for all the sensors and RKP and alarm box come FROM the control panel (I bet that's a really stupid question!).

For wireless mag door contacts (doors to house only - not conservatory), would you back those up with a hardwire PIR monitoring the area - just in case. I do like the idea of knowing someone is trying to get in BEFORE they are in!

opinions are just that, and heavily laced with experience also many personal prejudices born of bad call outs.

panel location should be fine, just don't place it under the coat hangers or panel ventilation could be affected. no harm wiring up the window either, its easy so why not?

correct you need to hard wire the siren and keypad/s, if you've got to get upstairs with wires anyway to do that many engineers feel they might as well hard wire the pir's and save on the unit costs, then again having got to the landing floor might as well run the cable's around and drop through to ground room pirs.

so depends on your personal situation, you might have very easy runs under the boards or built in furniture or hard wood floors in the way

regarding 'early warning' detection, these are more prone to false alarms, especially from birds colliding with the windows, window cleaners and the nutty relations/callers who bang on every window they can reach, when you don't answer the door bell with 5 seconds - usually shouting coooey! .

even when well placed, early warning will only be a few seconds more before an internal sensor is triggered by an intruder, but this is to be considered carefully in line with the risks and value involved to be protected.

no crown jewels in my house, that's for sure, except the family! I think I'll try and hardwire most of it then and see how I go.

Is it worth putting an extra key pad upstairs so I can see where the alarm has been triggered. If I buy the G595, what additional panel would I buy that will tell me what I want to know?
