If keypad is connected to a telephone socket, the system will then alert you via telephone when the alarm is triggered. Without this, the alarm would still function as a standard alarm without notifications.
The spec says you can deactivate this alarm via touch tone, does this include mobile phones?
Kelly, Londonderry
You will be able to activate or deactivate your alarm with your mobile phone by dialling the phone number associated with the control panel and entering your programmed pin code. Further details can be found on page 23 of the Yale Intruder Alarm User Guide.
I want to alarm my steel framed workshop as well as the house, will the wireless signal still work through the house walls to detectors in the workshop, approximately 10 metres away?
PAUL STOCK, CARDIGAN
Unfortunately the system would not work reliably with a steel-framed area due to reflection of the a radio signals.
Are range extenders available? I live in a large old house with thick walls. I have to use two wifi range extenders to get wifi in all the rooms and I am afraid that the RF signal from the IA-200 wont have enough reach.
Dr Neil Turley
Range extenders are not available as an accessory for the alarm kits, however the alarm components have up to 200 meters wireless connectivity range to the central hub.
On arming the hub, what is the exit time before the alarm is set and can the time be changed?
Ray, Reading
Entry and exit time gives you a delay to allow you time to enter or exit your premises and arm/disarm the system. Times can be set from 00 seconds (no delay) up to 70
seconds in 10 second increments.
20 seconds is the factory default.
What motion sensors are suitable for a large dog over 25kg?
Irene Foster, Horley
There are no Pet Friendly sensors that have threshold of larger than 25kg. Anything larger than this size would trigger both standard and Pet Friendly PIR motion sensors. You may prefer to use a Yale Intruder Door Contact on your doors and windows.
Part of my house is a WiFi dead spot. Is this going to affect any of the components that it would ideally locate in that area?
Rich M, Caldicot
This particular system does not require internet access, the system is connected to the mains and your landline phone socket and will contact each component via secure radio waves.
