Brands and Compatibility Guidance

Stocked brands include Paradox, Nemtek, Texecom, DSC, Optex, and a variety of widely compatible unbranded options. Compatibility notes:

• Magnetic contacts and PIR detectors generally operate on 12V DC and have NO/NC relay outputs-check product datasheets for alarm panel compatibility.
• Most sirens (piezo, horn, or self-powered) use standard 12V triggers but may require series diodes or protection circuits.
• Alarm cable is typically stranded, 6 core (0.2-0.22mm2), designed for both signal and low power distribution.

Example Application Scenario

Suppose you're outfitting a small business with a new alarm system. After selecting a control panel and main keypad, your checklist might include:

• 4 x PIR motion sensors (9-16V DC)
• 8 x mag contacts for doors/windows
• 1 x outdoor siren, 1 x indoor sounder
• 1 x strobe light for visual deterrence
• 50m of 6-core alarm cable
• 12V, 7Ah backup battery
• Assorted: adhesive warning stickers, tamper switches

These essentials are typically available at Communica's Samrand warehouse or via branch network, backed by technical advice for compatibility and installation.

Tips for Selection and Troubleshooting

• Voltage Matching: Confirm all sensors and sirens are suitable for your alarm panel's power output (typically 12V DC).
• Wiring Integrity: Use stranded alarm cable for flexible routing; test continuity and insulation before powering up.
• Sensitivity Adjustments: Most quality PIRs offer trimpots for range or pulse count adjustment to reduce false alarms.
• Tamper Monitoring: Connect tamper circuits in series for early notification of physical interference.
• Backup Sizing: Calculate total standby load (sum of all sensors and sounders); add a safety margin when selecting your backup battery (see product datasheets for amp-hour calculations).
