How to wire a zone to your alarm system - magnetic door switch, passives and beam shown - tutorial

[@danieloraseanu]

Thank you for your time spent on this and the clear, detailed way you did it!

[@kenmorton2571]

Excellent, Thank you so much for showing this, it was easy to follow and you did not speak to fast !!

[@tonyfelix8655]

Thank you very much sir, i was able to connect my alarm system with your excellent explanations, thanks for your sharing

[@koolohinde]

Thank you south africa.

[@candymancam2390]

Excellent explanation! Congratulations !

[@RajabKasanga]

Excellent brother like the way you explained thank you

[@warrenpfo]

Fantastic. Your videos just keep getting better keep up the great work. Could you please do a video on how to wire and connect wireless accessories to panel.

[@micdev42]

Brilliantly explained. thanks for making the effort.

[@georgekaloudis170]

Excellent explanation! Nice job. Thank you for this well informing video!

[@kieranmurphy1091]

This subject is very well explained and thanks for that

[@samuellazarus1107]

Great video. Answered all my questions.

[@juliusmbugua6980]

Very helpful illustration

[@Jay-tr3px]

Hi. Thanks for the great video. What is the alarm panel that you are using and power supply is needed to operate? I need to hook a magnetic switch to this with a horn alarm. thanks again.

[@chchan2733]

Great tutorial.

[@MelinyanisoMapi]

Great video guide, you make this seem so easy, question...can i use Xwave 2 wireless indoor Detector with my Ids x64?, if so help would be appreciated on the how?

[@kaveshmaharaj533]

Thanks for sharing these videos. May I ask, I have an IDS x64 alarm panel. I want to install an outdoor PIR. The one I am keen on is the Takex wired 180 MX-12FAM. Is the Takex compatible with the IDS system. I have not been able to find an answer to this. My logic tells me that there is no reason it won't be compatible. I just need to make sure. Appreciate your advice.

[@brendonmurphy3591]

Thanks for the video, it was really informative. I own a IDS X64 alarm with 16 zones, and would like to add an additional keypad as well as another 8 zones. Can you please make a video on how to add an additional keypad, including setting it up. As well as how to add an additional zone expander. My current zone expander plugs straight onto the main board. Keep up the good work.

[@ecologicaltime]

will add to the list

[@danielburger1116]

Thank you for fantastic tutorial.. I am struggling with door open close that triggers after some time. Why does it do that? The contacts are not moving, they are also in a standard position which worked normally for nine years, now the door triggers after some time every time.

[@nicholasamiadamhen2563]

Thanks for the video ,,well explained

[@crazyethanyeahyeah]

Great video!

[@nosignal3831]

Thank you Mr Sir this one is the1

[@africanhistory]

finally the video I beam looking for.

[@UnknownMelodies0]

Thanks this was very helpful;)

[@alaamardawi5962]

clear and useful

[@novacaldera6181]

Brilliant video. What happens when you want to add a zone beyond 8?

[@kaveshmaharaj533]

You will need to get a zone expander card.

[@trevorcamm1906]

Your video helped me so much to understand and to check if my alarm was connected correctly. One question I have is that my infrared beams are connected as you described. I have three that have been connected to zones 6, 7 and 8 on and they work, but even when they are on, off or triggered they do not show on the keypad. I ask because I know people with the same beams that show on their alarm keypad unlike mine.

[@stevenweii]

Why don’t you replace your beam with a simple door contact to see if a triggered door sensor cause alarm on the zone, if it does then you have problems wiring the beam, if it doesn’t then you have problems programming your alarm panel.

[@juliangordon7567]

Do you have any videos on connecting the xwave wireless components?

[@alarmr1269]

Good video. Subscribed

[@456hihisense3]

How does one connect two pirs/beams in seies or parallel? What is the better option : parallel or series? I was amazed at the above video presentation.

[@ecologicaltime]

ill do a video to show. May take some time

[@456hihisense3]

@@ecologicaltime no problem. I can wait. Thank you.

[@456hihisense3]

Any luck with the video

[@456hihisense3]

I'm still awaiting your response.

[@alvinmari3162]

Do you have one on vibration sensors? Good video.

[@ecologicaltime]

none

[@africanhistory]

finally got my beams working

[@aliuibrahim638]

Nice one

[@Kimdalgomis]

your amazing

[@adil391]

Could you do one for the texecom premier version

[@moirakyle4759]

I have a problem with a door sensor. Can i permanently disarm it at the door end rather than at the control box?

[@nikolaspanagiotousecurity]

How you choose the oms of the resistors to use?

[@andyp9131]

hi i have 3/8 dor contacts with a veritas v8 alarm panel but can't see no wire in my door or door frame they cant be wireless can they thanks in advance andy

[@vishnugovender1401]

Top stuff

[@RajabKasanga]

Perfect

[@danielmeyer677]

I need help. My pir sensors work but the light doesn't come on indicating that the sensor has detected motion. I have a ids x64 alarm system plz help thanks

[@matsuz100]

why did you add a resistors? And the resistor what is it's impedance?

[@matsuz100]

You should explain not all panels require End of line resistors.

[@xcpointx]

The system actually has 3 states : open, closed, fault. Closed : resistance of x ohms Open: open circuit full resistance Fault: Between 0 and x ohms (this can happen if wires partially touch or become abraded and connect )

[@firos_khan]

please make a video AVS intrusion alarm system

remote control of the SP4000 paradox on and off of the RSU-KO1 / S remote control how to connect

[@Rayray-ox7ln]

ids 805 dont knw how to program. please help. i want to put delay on my zone 1 and 2. change password(pin) and use zone 8 as sensor. how to do ?

[@boneymaunduslim3838]

thanks

[@IconicFashionBarbie]

I don’t know how to configure on my dsc pannel

[@Kimdalgomis]

why we aadd resistors

[@ecologicaltime]

alarm panels often use resistors as it allows for more reliable voltage across the sensor. Small change in wire resistance does not impact the alarm.
