Alarm For Garden Office? Design Help!

[garnayrob]

Hi all,

I'm looking for some advice on alarm system design for my 10x8 garden office (timber) with 2 glass opening windows and an opening door (also with glass). I know a bit about alarms and happy to install, just want some clarification.

Looking to install 1 x dual tech PIR (to cope with heat imbalance when sun is on windows). How would this work being the only zone? I'm not intending on adding any other sensors as I beleive the PIR will provide all the protection needed.

Can you have a 1 zone PIR alarm system? Not quite sure what systems would support this - I guess I'd need a short entry delay. Ideally would be great to disarm remotely, but want a fairly professional solution and not a Yale style DIY kit.

Budget of up to £200 - also want internal and external sounder.

What is the best kit for the job?

Personally I'd put a contact on the entry door. Then you can delay the dual tec only after door opening

Disarming from a remote will need a high end panel which you really don't need

As its diy I'd use

Control panel honeywell optima compact

Dualtech honeywell dt 7550 or 7450

Door contact knight or cqr grade 1 surface

Sounder whatever you want

That's perfect thanks James!

Another one perhaps for your James! Just need some guidance on wiring the DT7550 to the ADE Gen 4 panel before I power up. On the PIR I have wired up as follows to the panel - please correct me if wrong.

TBL = n/a

TBL = n/a

T1 = TAMP

T2 = TAMP

EOL = n/a

C = Zone 2

Test = n/a

NC = Zone 2

V- = 0V

V+ = +13v

Is this correct? Also do any of the jumper or dip switch settings need changing from default?

Currently:

FAULT (RF) = F (EOL 3K)

TAMPER (RT) = A (EOL 1K)

ALARM (RA) = A (EOL 1K)

Dip Switch 1 = ON (High Sensitivity)

Dip Switch 2 = ON (LED Enabled)

Dip Switch 3 = ON (Anti-mask Reset 1 Alarm).

Thanks for your help

Rob.

Wiring looks correct.

The dip switches can be left.

The jumpers will need setting for double pole (no resistors).

I haven't got information handy but this will probably be no jumpers installed.

Not sure I'd leave it on high sens, needs walk testing first to ensure correct coverage

[james.wilson]

As above I wouldn't put it on high and you need the jumpers set for double pole mode

[garnayrob]

guys, much appreciated. Disabiling the integrated EOL resistors is all jumpers off - so I shall remove them.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend and wishing you a good start to the week

Guys, quick help if possible - I've wired everything up however the external siren keeps sounding even with cover on (tamper switch active) and control panel powered up.

I've wired up as follows from siren to panel, is anything wrong?

STROBE+ on panel = n/a on siren

STROBE- on panel = ST on siren

SCT(T) on panel = R on siren

SCB(A) on panel = V- on siren

BEK+ on panel = V+ on siren

Bell - on panel = SW on siren
