CONTROL PANEL
The “Brains” of an alarm system. All peripheral components connect to “zones” on the panel. TRANSFORMER
Continuously charges the battery BATTERY
Provides temporary back-up power to the system. TELE-COMMUNICATOR
Provides a primary communications link between the alarm system & a central control room RADIO TRANSMITTER
Provides a secondary backup communications link between the alarm system & a central monitoring communications centre room KEYPAD
Serves as an interface with the control panel. Allows user to Arm, Disarm, Bypass zones etc. SIREN
Audible warning device. MAGNETIC SENSOR
2 Piece Magnetic contacts. Form a closed circuit when in close proximity, triggers an alarm condition when the magnets are separated. Mounted on doors and windows etc. GLASS BREAK DETECTOR
Sensitive to the sound frequency of breaking glass. Positioned indoors facing windows. Triggers an alarm condition when a pre-defined sound frequency is detected. PANIC BUTTONS
Allows user to manually trigger an alarm condition. Can be hard wired to the control panel or activated via a remote transmitter. REMOTE TRANSMITTERS & RECEIVERS
Allows user to activate panic, arm or disarm alarm, open automated gates & doors etc. Receiver is wired to the Control Panel, transmitter is portable and can be carried on keys etc. Should be considered for if user is often outdoors or for the elderly or infirm. PASSIVE INFRARED DETECTORS (P.I.R.)
Monitors background temperatures to detect any dramatic temperature change, (i.e. the infrared body heat aura of intruders.) INFRARED BEAMS
Infrared beams trigger an alarm condition if an object passes between them. Can be mounted on perimeter walls etc as a first line of security, adjustable sensitivity to prevent false alarms. MOTION DETECTORS
Utilises Microwave Technology. Often used in conjunction with P.I.R’s (Dual Tech) to prevent false alarms in unstable areas (ceilings etc where heat builds up). An alarm condition requires the Microwave and P.I.R to be triggered simultaneously. SMOKE DETECTORS
Trigger an alarm condition when smoke is detected, should be considered where homes are fully burglar guarded. STROBE LIGHT
Alerts the user that an alarm activation has taken place, assists armed reaction in identifying property when responding to an alarm. ARMED STATUS LIGHT
Also knows as a "Ravi Light". The armed status light is an LED light that is typically positioned outdoors to indicate whether the alarm system is armed or not. This is particularly useful when outdoor beams are in operation as it prevents accidental activation of the alarm. SEISMIC / VIBRATION SENSORS
Detects vibration on the surface on which it is installed, such as banging on windows or doors etc.
