Groups

[dwdave]

Once complete I intent to use my alarm day and night.

Complete set for when away from home and part set for perimeter / ground floor at night.

I will also have one zone that I want to be set all the time. It will cover a safe. But it will need to be disarmed for authorised entry. A 24hr zone function on the galaxy can't be disarmed. Probably on a contact / shock.

Is this where groups come in?

You could use groups for that, or you could use a link to disable. Either way is doable, I'd probably go down the link route for 1 circuit

Ive seen the "Links" menu but I have always skipped by it.

 

I will get the programming manual out in a while and read up on links (what they are, what they do)

 

Thanks.

[james.wilson]

its like a virtual link.

You have a source then a destination. Quite powerful when needed. In your case id say a link source would be a latching code, destination be the vibe on your safe

[dwdave]

I've just read up on links and is starting to make sense.

Could I set the vibe on the safe to have a custom output for a local siren.

ie, if for intruder I have 2 ext sirens, 1 internal siren and a master blaster as my outputs, could I have the vibe on the safe only output to say the one internal siren?

[james.wilson]

Only if you link the circuit to the output. If the sounders are on bell outputs then bells will fire in alarm

[dwdave]

Would you normally put all sounders on the bells output?

Could I use a safe limpet = are they any good?

[al-yeti]

Depends what you want the sounder to do , ie programme the output

[james.wilson]

safe limpet is yes, but id suggest if you need one then you shouldnt be doing it urself.

[dwdave]

I don't need one to satisfy anyone but myself. It's not a requirement , more a personal request.
