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.
Can you use the door contact on a garage door? The garage is directly next to the wall that the main unit will be connected to so it will be easily within range.
Mr Martin Taylor, YEOVIL
A door contact may be suitable to place on a garage door providing each side of the door contact can be fitted flush and within a 2mm width of each other. An alternative option would be to place a Yale Intruder PIR Motion Detector inside the garage instead.
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.
