Aritech supplier

Lex Luthor

anyone know where I can buy an Aritech CS350 & kepypad with sensors, etc?

I've tried my 2 local suppliers (TO'Reilly, Newbridge & Kellihers, Tougher Business Pk) and they both don't do Aritech anymore, just HKC, but I'd rather stick to what I know.

Thanks, any idea where in Lucan they are? I'm only up the road in Leixlip at work

Lex,
I'm nearly sure MEW in Leixlip do Aritech syatems. There up by Intel in the small business park there at the side of Lidl.

Ya, I know the place, I'm in Intel all this week and have bought a few small things from him myself. He'll be my last choice as he's a complete to$$er and I'd rather not give him the business

They are in Hills industrial estate which is on the right before CPI Chadwicks, around 100 mtrs past the lights
Ring before you go down to confirm they have some

one question about PIR's...I've never wired one in before...do they need 2 wires or 4? Looking inside the PIR its got 6 terminal (12V supply, pair for alarm, pair for tamper). I'm guessing 4

Lex Luthor

just told it was 4....leaves me with a bit of a problem as the house was only pre-wired with cable with 4 cores. I was planning on trying to make the PIR a separate zone, but now it looks like I'll have to incorporate it into one of the window zones. I'll have to use the 2nd pair of wires (blue/yellow) as the 12V supply to the PIR, include the PIR in the window zone and install a switch across the PIR so that at night I can disable it while being able to arm the windows.

Depending on how many windows, PIR's and your desire to run some new alarm cable, you could buy a zone expander for the CS350 to give you an additional 8 zones. You could then wire them separatley.

Alternatively, you could buy a wireless zone expander (I think the 350 can take one, the 250 defo can) and then make all of the PIR's wireless!

I really dont think I would recomend having a switch on the PIR to enable/disable it for part-guard. Really, really woundn't!

I don't want to run any cables inside as its a log cabin and it will look $hite. I had enquired on here about wireless PIR's and they seemed to be costing a few hundred euros just for one.

You can wire up a contact/shock and pir with 4 core and still have them on seperate zones without loosing out on tampers. The 12v negative terminal is a common terminal shared with every other common terminal on the panel. The proof being if you put one lead of your meter on the 12 v + and place the other lead on one of the alarm inputs you will get 12v on your meter. Using this along with dual eol will solve your problem. It would be easier to explain in a drawing

The cs350 is a 6 zone panel and can't be expanded

This could be the way to go....I'm not sure if I fully follow what you are trying to explain....I'll dig out the CS350 manual later and see if there are any worked examples of it showing this set up. Otherwise, if you get a chance and could sketch me up a quick drawing, I'd appreciate it.

Or else, try to explain it to me in laymans terms...

I'll be using the red & black for the window zones. Blue & yellow wires are free to be used. Then I was going to take a 4 core cable and run it from the last window zone in the bathroom along the wall up high and to the PIR in the hall. What next?

Thanks,

It goes something like this. You will need to use your meter to find the common.

Thanks....I've located the commons with the meter. What is the reasoning behind the 2 different configurations?

get a cs 250 its same as 350 more or less
