matt5595 Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 Hi, Going to be doing a full alarm install for a farm, now I've noticed that the the Barnes will need some form of protection, my first instinct is to use door contacts to prevent false alarms. The only problem I'm having is to find a door contact with an IP rating that will prevent corrosion or any build up of dust etc. I was thinking I could maybe find some sort of cover to make a cheaper door contact Ip rated, or apply a silicone sealant around it? Anybody got any ideas? Matt

sixwheeledbeast Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 I'd use beams and shutter contacts with decent JB's.
SentryAlertSystems Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 if you're looking at protecting anything at long range in an open area, we use a range of wireless beams that are solar powered and have a range of 1000 meters to the controller. Work perfectly for farms/across the front of buildings.
norman Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 Do you have a link Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.
goncall Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 depending on the type of farm it is beams might not be suitable,for contacts I'd use roller shutter contacts glanded either into a conduit box or small ip rated jb,but I'd also look at installing all cables in heavy duty plastic conduit due to mice rats etc which will eat any exposed cable more so in a farm environment where they are plenty
9651 Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 Yup, we at least fit duct grade cable in any barns or what not
MrHappy Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 but I'd also look at installing all cables in heavy duty plastic conduit The King of Glav says plastic, OMG... Mr Veritas God
