If you will need to get a line from the UPC to the alarm system.
It goes into the panel on the AB then back out to other phones on the CD.
This is to give the system line priority over other phones.
In the zone names did you set up the zone audio for each zone?

It sounds more complicated than it is
The line that you have coming out of the UPC needs to go direct into the AB terminals of the Quantum panel. Then a line out on the CD needs to go to any phones you have. It is handy if you have a phone point as the CD cable from the panel can be wired direct in there. Just make sure you disconnect the Eircom line first. Then plug your phone in there.

In the zone menu you will see zone names, select and scroll to zone audio to set up the zone audio there.

That is the terminals in the control panel, bottom right as you look at it.
Line in on the A/B
Line out on the C/D

Turn off "Int bell chime " this is why it alarms

You need turn the chime on in the options menu for the zone.
Then press 0*6 on the keypad to turn on the chime, to turn off press 0*6 on the keypad also.

Do not turn off the chime for the internal bell as this is where you will hear it

Hi, sorry to hijack this thread.

I'm going to install a similar system in my parents account.

How much dies the HKC kit cost and who sells the kit without installation?

Thanks in advance!

€420 for the kit 2
Rf external bell
Quantum with DMTV
2x rf Pir ( hall, kitchen )
1x rf reed ( front door)
1x rf shock (back door)
1x rf fob

You could ask for another shock instead of a reed and wire a sensor to the front door .
