Intrusion Alarm System

The Basic Components will include:

Control Panel Unit (CPU)

Takes AC voltage from your house supply and converts it to 13.2v to operate the security system devices & detectors. This is the brain of the system. It controls how the security system operates after it has been configured by the installer to meet your requirements. All devices wire into/or communicate with the control panel.

Keypad (Remote Keypad)

Used to access all user functions of the intruder alarm system such as arming and disarming the system, Silencing and resetting the alarm after activation, and adding/altering/configuring user access.

Door Contact

Used to protect doors and windows, Contacts come in numerous shapes and sizes and can be either surface mounted or recessed.

Passive Infra-red (PIR)

Detects space intrusion. A pir detector splits it's protected area up into numerous zones, so a single room for example may be seen by the detector as 30 separate sections, and will report any changes across those sections to the CPU.

Siren

A local alarm outside and/or inside the premises. Usually referred to as a alarm when mounted outside the premises and will usually incorporate both a visual (by means of a strobe light) and audible means of alerting an intrusion. Internal units are usually much smaller and will mimic the alarm but usually only audibly.

Battery

A 12v backup battery is used to allow the alarm system to carry on working for a minimum period of 8 hours should the premises suffer a mains failure. It is continually trickle charged by your CPU.
