I've just purchased a new home and have inherited a wired alarm system with the typical selection of PIR's, a door contact and panic buttons. It's the Scantronic 9651.
I'm at the planning stage at the moment with what I would like to like to do with the Idratek system and due to my limited capabilities I think there is going to be a steep learning curve.
Ideally as a first step I would like to connect the alarm panel in such a way that I can utilise the PIR's to act as occupancy sensors for Cortex. I also want the alarm system to act independantly when armed.
I believe other forum users have had some success using the Texecom Premier panel, does anyone have any experience with my Panel?
Reading the installers manual, it appears to have "3 programmable outputs" but I can't understand if they are suitable for the purpose I would require.
I would prefer to keep my existing alarm, but I guess it wouldn't be too difficult to replace the panel with the Texecom if necessary.
As a side note, the new Idratek multi function display panels have really caught my eye and look so much better than the old syle.
Any news on when they will be available?
