TTmjp Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 Hi I recently upgraded my PIR's to iWise Quadsec anti mask, there are 7 installed in total. I would like to provide the detectors with a +12v on the set terminal when my gardtec 595 is armed (to disable AM when set), I think I can use PGM1 for this but don't know which setting to use on PGM1 and whether or not I can supply all the detectors from this terminal or if I need to fit a relay? Many thanks in advance for any help offered, Matt
fozzies Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 Depends what grade the alarm is being installed to. if you are a diyer, then i doubt you need it at all, it can only cause trouble unless you choose the site for the detectors carefully, and your insurance company wont accept a diy installed alarm as a graded alarm anyways
TTmjp Posted December 5, 2011 Author Posted December 5, 2011 Thanks for your advice, the system is DIY but all components are grade 3 and panel is setup as grade 3 with 2 wire eol on ELF1 wiring. I have enjoyed doing this system and although it won't provide any insurance backing I wanted to do a system that was more challenging than the run of the mill DIY systems. I have also installed a GSM dialler for instance! I have been researching the use of the PGM1/2 outputs on the Gardtec but can't verify whether they provide a current source or just a open collector output, thus is why I need help.
fozzies Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 Tis not a panel i deal with, sorry, so i'll keep quiet so otjers can step in. have fun
PeterJames Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 My advice would be if you dont need it then dont install it, AM is a PITA to those that have to install it
RichL Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 PGM 1 & 2 are open collector outputs. Originally said by Charles Babbage On two occasions I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question.
TTmjp Posted December 5, 2011 Author Posted December 5, 2011 My advice would be if you dont need it then dont install it, AM is a PITA to those that have to install it I didn't realise that they could be problematic, I guess if I can sort the +12v inhibit for the anti mask when the panel is set I can minimise any false alarms if they are an issue.
PeterJames Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 You may find inhibiting when set adds to the problems, if you dont have to use it (And I cant think of a good instance in most diy domestic applications as to why you would need to, unless you often invite really dodgy people into your house) then dont use it
