Wireless Systems
Wirefree alarms have grown in popularity as they are simple to install and are ideal for
properties where running cable would be either impossible or disruptive to existing
décor. The advantages of wirefree alarms include:
• No wiring is necessary - simply place the system where required.
• Many wirefree systems are dual powered, i.e. they operate from solar power but are
backed up by battery power on overcast days.
• Wirefree systems can easily be expanded to suit larger properties by adding extra
PIR sensors (movement detectors) and door/window contacts.
• Sensors can be fitted to outbuildings such as sheds, garages and caravans.
The control panel requires a 240v supply with 12v rechargeable battery and a 6 core cable needs to be run to an external bell, but all other detectors and PA alarms are by remote signal from the control panel to each detector. The operation of the system works in much the same way as a hard wire system but offers less variety and is not capable of offering the same level of protection in larger properties and commercial premises.
