How to wire a zone to your alarm system - magnetic door switch, passives and beam shown - tutorial How tow ire a passive infra red (PIR) sensor to your alarm system.
Fantastic. Your videos just keep getting better keep up the great work. Could you please do a video on how to wire and connect wireless accessories to panel.
Thank you for fantastic tutorial.. I am struggling with door open close that triggers after some time. Why does it do that? The contacts are not moving, they are also in a standard position which worked normally for nine years, now the door triggers after some time every time.
Thanks for the video, it was really informative. I own a IDS X64 alarm with 16 zones, and would like to add an additional keypad as well as another 8 zones. Can you please make a video on how to add an additional keypad, including setting it up. As well as how to add an additional zone expander. My current zone expander plugs straight onto the main board. Keep up the good work.
Great video guide, you make this seem so easy, question...can i use Xwave 2 wireless indoor Detector with my Ids x64?, if so help would be appreciated on the how?
Your video helped me so much to understand and to check if my alarm was connected correctly. One question I have is that my infrared beams are connected as you described. I have three that have been connected to zones 6, 7 and 8 on and they work, but even when they are on, off or triggered they do not show on the keypad. I ask because I know people with the same beams that show on their alarm keypad unlike mine.
Why don’t you replace your beam with a simple door contact to see if a triggered door sensor cause alarm on the zone, if it does then you have problems wiring the beam, if it doesn’t then you have problems programming your alarm panel.
Thanks for sharing these videos. May I ask, I have an IDS x64 alarm panel. I want to install an outdoor PIR. The one I am keen on is the Takex wired 180 MX-12FAM. Is the Takex compatible with the IDS system. I have not been able to find an answer to this. My logic tells me that there is no reason it won't be compatible. I just need to make sure. Appreciate your advice.
hi i have 3/8 dor contacts with a veritas v8 alarm panel but can't see no wire in my door or door frame they cant be wireless can they thanks in advance andy
How does one connect two pirs/beams in seies or parallel? What is the better option : parallel or series? I was amazed at the above video presentation.
The system actually has 3 states : open, closed, fault. Closed : resistance of x ohms Open: open circuit full resistance Fault: Between 0 and x ohms (this can happen if wires partially touch or become abraded and connect )
I need help. My pir sensors work but the light doesn't come on indicating that the sensor has detected motion. I have a ids x64 alarm system plz help thanks
