    Cheers. Have wired my last two Magnetic Contact sensors!!!. This should the end of the wiring part for me

    While working on this install I disconnected the intenal battery of the SABB. Can I leave this disconnected permanently? The SABB is really high up on a two storey A big deal to get up to it. Will a fault be registered on the keypad if I leave it disconnected? I am installing a HKC securewave alarm.

    Cheers guys


    ps Thanks for all the help

    You can and it will not show a fault but if an intruder was to down power your alarm system then the outside bell would go dead too. I would reconnect it.

    Hi there,

    I have a PIR in a sitting room with a much used fireplace. The PIR is picking up the heat source and is always being triggered. It is a Pyronix PIR. I have reduced the sensitivity by removing the bridging contact in the PIR itself but still is too sensitive. Any ideas?

    Other than moving the detector you could install a Dual Tech PIR.

    How about blocking half the sensor with a piece of insulation tape (from the inside)? Will give it a shot tomorrow and see what happens

    It may work but its really hit & miss. A duel tec is the correct solution.

    That is ok in theory but never really works. The PIR works by picking up on temperature rises in an area. You will still have the same issue as hot air rises. You best bet is to replace with a dual tech.

    Yes, that is correct. You will need to set up the voice option for the zones to get a description of what has activated.
    Hi altor, sorry for coming back to this, I have just installed this panel and wondering if it will also text me if my UPC conected phone can send text. Another words doing the job of a GSM unit without the price.

    You can not send text over a UPC line.

    Hi Conor,

    The 10/70 using the DTV wont send text but you can use voice with the UPC. What this means is any audio zone programmed will tell you of the activation's.

    Another option is to use the GSM-Q which plugs direct onto the board.
    Half the price of the GSM-P.

    Nice and neat as its a plug on. You can also control the outputs on the board of the 10/70 to control lights/heat, any device you can turn on and off.

    Try my best Conor :D
