Popular Alarm Accessory Types and Specs

Whether you're an installer preparing for a residential retrofit, a student experimenting with DIY security, or a business extending your coverage, Communica's range means fewer supplier delays and more project flexibility.

Compatibility Tips and Buying Considerations

• Always double-check voltage (12V vs 24V) and sensor output type to match your alarm panel.
• Look for pet-immunity on PIRs if you have animals under 20kg; this helps reduce false triggers.
• Select reed contacts with robust housings for high-traffic or exposed locations.
• Choose outdoor-rated sirens for perimeter solutions; confirm with IP spec or housing details on the product page.
• For batteries, consider local temperature and regular load-shedding intervals. Larger 7Ah-18Ah are common for extended backup in SA environments.

Example: Sizing Your Backup Battery

Calculate backup time using:

Backup Time (hrs) = Battery capacity (Ah) x 12V / Total system load (W)

Suppose you have a 12V 7Ah battery supporting a 16W system (panel, sensors, siren):
Backup Time = 7 x 12 / 16 = 5.25 hours (actual time varies with battery age and ambient temperature.)
