MrHappy Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 your alarm is old tat, just use the your customer code remove the lid of the controls, the internal sounder sounds, enter code & it stops remove the 12v + wire from the terminal marked aux power, remove & replace your sensors, put 12v + back in the panel, put panel lid back on, enter code & press reset there is mains power within the panel, either don't touch the live terminals, or isolate before opening Mr Veritas God Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeithS Posted June 23, 2012 Author Share Posted June 23, 2012 Thanks. What does 'put 12v + back in the panel'? Is it merely 'reconnect Aux wire? Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itesecurity Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 And if those cats are jumping onto seat backs and window sills etc like you have said you could be in trouble with regards to pet immune PIR's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeithS Posted June 23, 2012 Author Share Posted June 23, 2012 That's a pity as I think they only do what normal cats do - not so much jumping, more climbing from one item to another. What good are these PIRs if they don't work in this situation. Have you had experience of Honeywell or Bosch letting you down?

Alarm Protection Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 I would go with perimeter protection with any animal in the house unless it's old and ready to pop it's clogs. ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norman Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 a bullet for each cat would be preferential. Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Understanding how they work and installing in correct location is key to trouble free operation. Pet immune PIR's are more "Pet Friendly" than total immunity, especially when it comes to cats. As for extending your cable you can use a tampered junction box, like CQR JB707. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james.wilson Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 i dont like pet sensors period. A movement sensor is designed to detect movement. I find it amusing that people expect such a cheap device (less than 20 quid) to be able in tech terms to tell the differencve between a person and a dog etc. They cant really. They are just slugged down normal pirs. The animal has a smaller IR output than a person. But if they get close to the sensor etc and move vertically then the sensor sees a larger IR trace. There is NO sensor that has passed 3rd party testing WHEN in any pet mode. There may be a reason for that! Best way to achieve alarm protection with an animal is to use perimeter protection, ie all external doors and windows where the pets are located when the alarm is armed. Normal sensors everywhere else securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.
