RE: Security Alarm

Mine came form Gardiner Security who are a large security wholesalers in Kent. They do seem to only want to deal with trade people though. That said placing the order by phone, and paying by personal cheque and picking it up seemed no problem to them - go figure !!!

 

You need the XM10U also called a TW7223 - I used a standard modem cable to interface PowerMax to the XM10U.

 

Yes I have an external siren. I am by no means a burglar alarm expert, but from what I can see there are basically two types of external siren. There is the regular type of siren which is powered off the PowerMax directly, and the SCB type which additionally contains its own NiCad battery so that even if all the wires are cut it still sounds. Depending on the type of siren you need to adjust how it is connected to the PowerMax.  This is however all very well documented.

Thanks for the info Mark, I am probably going to go this unit.

Could you let me know where you bought your system. I have found it online at http://www.ttsfire.co.uk/diy_security.htm but your system would work out at > £800 from there. Definitely be interested in the software, I have downloaded the manuals already.

A couple of other questions if you don't mind;

Does the powersupply plug into a 13A socket (is it just a wall wart)?

Do you have an external siren - it looks look there might be problems powering one.

 

Thanks again,

Mark Hopley

I have recently installed the Visonic PowerMax at home, and have been very happy with it, and found it simple and inexpensive.  Whilst the PowerMax is not nearly as advanced as comfort PowerMax does almost everything I needed it to. The main points for me were:
