Pyronix Enforcer Range

[aissecur]

Hi all,

I have been asked to look into installing a wireless system to protect a garage that is approx. 60 - 65 metres away from the main property (down a back alley)  The logistics of getting a armoured cable to provide power to the garage is a no no.  The garage is not in perfect line of sight from the main property.

 

So i thought of maybe installing a Pyronix enforcer panel in the entrance hall of the customers main property  (as i can easily pick up a 230v supply from there)

Then install a wireless bell & wireless contact on the garage. The system could be armed / disarmed via a fob or main panel in the house.

 

My concern is the range and whether it is too much for the kit ...I know the pyronix detectors have a readout on them showing signal strength when they are learned so i could test them that way but i just wondered if anyone had undertaken a similar install or could advise if another manufacturers kit would be better suited?

 

Thanks in advance

Sounds a bit of a challenge. I wouldn't personally send one of our guys to do that.

Would a premier with ricochet be more suitable and install a wireless sounder at height to act as a repeater with clear line of sight?

Hi, thanks for your reply...

 

I thought it was a challenge...

 

I don’t think a perfect clear line of sight is achievable from the property itself.

The property is a little terraced cottage and the garage is located round a little corner. 

I’m thinking do Texecom do a repeater i could install in an adaptable box and mount on the customers neighbours property next door (at a suitable height) that way line of could be achieved. (not sure they would be happy with a bellbox on there wall acting as a repeater ) . I know it sounds a bit adhoc but i know the neighbours are family so providing the repeater was installed discreetly i don’t think it would be an issue... but would still be approx. 55 - 60mtrs from the garage.

Do  you still think there would be range issues at 55 - 60mtrs with Texecom ricochett?

I have personally used ricochet at that range without any issues.

I could try doing a little trial first...

Do you i will need line of sight (i know it’s always preferable)

no

Thanks, So the ricochet would be your first choice!

I have a few texecom radio plus detectors (im presuming the range on these would not suffice)?

They don't hop so you would be 'asking' for trouble IMHO.

[matthew.brough]

They are the old range so no, not ricochet compatible

I have done this with a Risco Agilty panel. Customers wee lodge at the bottom of his garden about 70mtrs away not line of sight. Not had a problem.

I'm sure the enforcer could do this.
