Does it have to be connected to a phone line?
Andrew Shipley, Selby
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.

I wanted to know if the 200m range beam is directional. Or is it dependant which way the control panel is facing. Thanks

The 200 metre extended range secures all of your home in a circular radius not just where the hub is facing.

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?

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.

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?
