Guest slick Posted February 22, 2006 Posted February 22, 2006 Hi, I could appreciate your advice. My friends company had an ADE alarm fitted and there was a burglary there yesterday. The thief ripped the panel of the wall and smashed it beyond use. My question is if they install a new texecom panel with a remote keypad, if the burglar was to smash the keypad (when the alarm has activated) and short the wires on the keypad would this affect the main unit. Has anyone had any experience of this or know what effect this would have on the panel. Also he had a dialler connected to the alarm but this just deactivated when the panel was rendered useless. Is there any way of having a seperate power supply for the dialler. Your advice is really appreciated on these matters. Slick
FASTCAR Posted February 22, 2006 Posted February 22, 2006 Hi , Removing the keypad will cause a tamper , shorting the supply will blow the rkp fuse. It may be best for your friends company to review its security arrangements. Regards.

norman Posted February 22, 2006 Posted February 22, 2006 Hello and welcome slick, in answer to your question if the RKP or control is damaged then if wired correctly the external siren will still function for it's 15 minute period. The dialler can be housed totally separate from the controls and with it's own power supply. Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.
Guest slick Posted February 22, 2006 Posted February 22, 2006 Thanks guys. I wanted to know if anyone has had any experience and if this is the case with all remote keypads wether it is a texecom or scantronic etc. We are just interested to know the consequenses of someone tampering with the keypad in an extreme way. Also what external power supply would you recommend for the standard dialler (its called sd1+) and would this be connected permanantly to the mains? Thankyou very much. Slick
Guest Posted February 22, 2006 Posted February 22, 2006 If an alarm is fitted to a standard, you can belt any of the controls, keypad's & sensors off the wall, put the wiring out /short it together & the external bell will ring for a maxium off 20 mins. Nobody responding to the alarm? Get a monitored alarm with police / patrol & keyholder response.

dpaengineer Posted February 22, 2006 Posted February 22, 2006 We've all seen this situation happen before. If there is any short on the keypad, it should simply blow a fuse in the main control that only fuses the keypads. Therefore, the detection equipment and the bell / dialler should still operate. Obvioulsy, if the main control panel is damaged then fuses are irrelevant. Even if the entire system is killed inside, the bell outside should still sound out using its own backup battery. If this didn't happen then chances are its not been serviced properly. As the others have suggested, by the sounds of it, this sort of site should have a monitored system installed by an approved installer. Trade Member
