DSC Power 1832

The DSC Power 1832 is a top of the range hybrid intruder alarm security system that features 8 Hardwired Zones that can be expanded (using zone expansion boards) to 32 zones. You could alternatively install up to the maximum 32 zones in wireless detection devices if you have a RFK Keypad or PC5132 Wireless Receiver connected. Another option is to have a combination of hard wired and wireless devices on the one alarm (up to the maximum of 32 devices in total) - the choice is yours!

In addition to the systems incredible flexibility, the system features possibly the largest selection of control and detection device options (see below) of any system in the world. This gives you exactly what you need to protect your premises with stunning user interface options.

If required, the system can be divided in to 4 distinct areas (often called partitions or wards) that can each be independently operated. Ideal for  offices with several tenants - or homes that wish to protect the house and garage separately.

The 1864 incorporates all of the features of the 1832, with the added benefit of being able to install up to 64 zones that if required, can be spread over 8 areas. Please note that although the system will accept up to 64 zones, we can only connect a maximum of 32 wireless detectors as this is the maximum capacity of the wireless receivers.

** NEW ** Touch Screen Keypad

** Awaiting Stock - Advanced Orders Only **

The ultimate security system keypad.

We are expecting our first batch any day of what is literally the most elegant security system keypad in the world today!

** NEW ** PK5500 English Text Keypads

The latest keypads feature an ultra clear screen that shows user information via a 2 line English text display.

Large backlight buttons aid simple operation. You also have 3 purpose built panic buttons (Fire, Police and Medical) that will let you intentionally trigger your system to summons assistance.

You will also have 5 function buttons that can be configured to "short cut" to commonly used operations. For example, the first function button is normally configured for Stay Arming (commonly called 'Part Set' or 'Night Set') that allows you to set the system by pressing only one button. How much simpler could operation be?

Status lights to the right of the screen will allow you to immediately see important system information - system ready to set, system is armed, if a trouble or fault exists and if the mains power is connected.

** NEW ** RFK5500 English Text Keypad with Integral Wireless Receiver

Basically, the RFK5500 is a PK5500 English Text Keypad with a built in PC5132 (below) Wireless Receiver. The integral receivers range is slightly less than a conventional 5132, however keypads tend to be installed in a more central location (rather than hidden in cupboards or under the stairs etc) that offers superior reception placement. *This Keypad is Exclusive to C.S. Solutions*

DSC PC5132 Wireless Receiver

The 5132 is a wireless receiver interface that allows us to integrate wireless detection devices and fobs with your security system.

Multiple Wireless Receiver Interface

Extend the range of your systems wireless coverage by adding extra PC5132 receivers. However this has a habit of overlapping coverage areas and so duplicating alarm activations. This module is required to prevent such duplication of signals.

Escort Telephone Access Module

I bet you have used services such as telephone banking at some stage - well the Escort is just like it. When connected it turns all your home phones (connected to the same line as the alarm) in to fully functional keypads. For that matter, you can also call your alarm from anywhere in the world to access the system or check status.

The Escort provides simple pre recorded voice commands that guides you through system operation. Many customers prefer to use the Escort to control the alarm compared to keypads - and for the visually impaired this is the solution you have been looking for!

** NEW - limited stock availability! ** TL150 IP Communicator & Web Browser

The TL150 provides two features - an IP communication system for monitoring and a web browser to allow you to use the system from a computer. Using your PC, PDA or Mobile Phone you can connect to the alarm, check status on zones and operate the system. *The TL150 is presently Exclusive to C.S. Solutions*

Check at a glance the status of your alarm system with the new Status Module. A tri coloured LED will inform you if the system is ready to operate, armed status and if an activation has taken place.

Perfect for installation in bedrooms, garages or rear entrances where you do not wish the extra expense of additional keypads - but still want to see if the system is operating correctly. A perfect partner for keyfobs (below) where you will not have a screen informing you of the systems status. *This Module is Exclusive to C.S. Solutions*

Output Module

If you wish to switch or trigger external devices, an output board will be required. For example if you wish to have a Speech/Text Dialler or RedCare STU connected to your DSC alarm system, then we will need to trigger the communicator in response to the event - and that is what the output board is used for (not needed for digital communicator monitoring as this is a feature built into the DSC alarm).

Zone Expansion Module

The DSC control panel features 8 hardwire inputs. If you require more than 8 hardwired devices on your system then you will require a zone expansion board(s). Each board increases your systems capacity by 8 inputs (to a maximum of 32 inputs on the 1832 - 64 on the 1864).

** NEW - limited stock availability! ** 2 Button Keyfob

Lets keep things simple! The 2 button keyfob allows you to full set the alarm and unset it when you return.

And if both buttons are held down for 3 seconds the fob becomes a mobile panic facility. *This Keyfob is Exclusive to C.S. Solutions*

4 Button Keyfob

Most commonly used to full set, part set & unset your system along with a mobile panic facility. However we can program the buttons to follow practically any command, such as opening an electric garage door or switching lighting on.

Recently several customers got us to install door lock releases that are triggered by one of the buttons. Imagine the benefit that unlocking your front door when approaching at the touch of a button would give you. No fumbling with keys in the lock when it is pouring down with rain - and how often have you had your arms full of shopping etc that you have to put down to get the key in the door?

The standard keyfob comes in a matt blue/black finish.

Keyfob Coloured Designer Cases

Add colour and style to your systems keyfob. Choose from one of these designer cases to coordinate with you existing possessions, such as the wood finish of some vehicle interiors or the case of your mobile phone. And if you have several fobs on different sets of keys, the designer covers can help you identify your set immediately. 4 button fob only. *These Cases are Exclusive to C.S. Solutions*

** NEW - limited stock availability! ** 12 Function Keyfob

Perfect for multi area systems! Using the central shift button, this keyfob can be used to operate up to 12 different functions - such as individual operation of multiple areas or the activation of equipment such as lights and appliances. *This Keyfob is Exclusive to C.S. Solutions*

** NEW - limited stock availability! ** Wireless Vibration Detector with built in Door Contact

We have been waiting for the release of the DSC wireless vibration detector for such a long time - and now it is finally here! The detector is so new that we have had to photo it for this page, due to the present lack of official material.

Vibration detectors are generally located on doors and windows at the optimum position for fast and reliable detection of forced attack - with the obvious advantage of being wireless for a minimum fuss or disruption of decor installation. And the built in contact can then be used to monitor the normal opening of the door or window you wish to protect.

These detectors now provide the opportunity of perimeter protected system for you at an affordable price. The contact signals on a separate zones identification allowing you to get a confirmed alarm (for monitored systems) from a single device. * See note at the bottom.

Vibration detectors offer an obvious advantage over other forms of detection device in the way they activate your system while the intruder is still on the outside. The intruder must then decide if he or she should continue whilst the system is sounding (and possibly signalling for assistance) or depart before apprehended - and this is generally what happens! *The Vibration Detector is Exclusive to C.S. Solutions*

Wireless Passive Infra Red Motion Detectors

These detectors react to moving body heat within a protected area. We always fit pet immune models to reduce the possibility of false activations caused by rodents or insects entering a protected area - and if you happen to have a pet such as a cat or small dog, then this is an added bonus!

These detectors are possibly the most reliable Wireless PIR available worldwide!

Hard Wired Passive Infra Red Motion Detectors

Identical to the wireless PIR above - but the hardwired version.

These detectors have a built in PIR motion detector (as above) that reacts to moving body heat. However they have a second detection device (a microwave detector) that needs to be active at the same time as the PIR to generate an alarm.

As a result  of requiring both elements to operate, Dual Technology Detectors are a very reliable detection device.

Wireless Standard Door or Window Contact

This contact can be placed on any door or window you wish to monitor.

Possibly the smallest wire free contact in existence! This contact is a microscopic 4 cm in length by 2.5cm width. The case conceals all the tamper and alarm detection circuitry along with battery power supply (5-year average life) and radio transmitter! "Why were these not about when I installed my alarm" is all that I can say! Click here to compare its size to other contacts (models shown form  left to right - other manufacturer wire free contact, standard DSC wire free contact, standard hard wired contact and the new DSC Mini Contact). *The Mini Contact is Exclusive to C.S. Solutions*

** NEW ** The Wireless Vanishing PVC Door or Window Contact

At only 4.8mm thick this contact literally melts into PVC door or window frames. It has a far slimmer profile to the Mini contact above, but the length and width a slightly larger.

A 18mm wide hole is drilled into your door or windows frame to a depth of 65mm. The contact is then inserted into the hole completely out of view. Supplied with white and brown end caps to blend with most wood and pvc frames. This is definitely the most discrete security contact available today! When installed, you would have no idea that a security device is fitted to the protected door or window.

Please note, these contacts can be installed in wood, PVC or alloy doors - but this totally depends on the space available within the frame. Please call or email for further details. *The Hidden Contact is Exclusive to C.S. Solutions*

** NEW - limited stock availability! ** The New Wireless Tilt Switch Door/Window Detector (Optional External Door/Window Contact)

This is a great detector for monitoring openings that need to tilt to allow entry (e.g. up-and-over garage doors, tilting windows, etc).

The detector is in a normal state when vertical. As soon as a predefined angle is reached (this is adjustable), the device will signal an alarm condition.

The detector is also equipped with hard wire terminals that are ideal to link to a standard door or window contact. If used, the contact will signal on a separate zones identification allowing you to get a confirmed alarm (for monitored systems) from a single device. * See note at the bottom. *This Device is Exclusive to C.S. Solutions*

Hardwired Standard Door or Window Contact

This contact can be placed on any door or window you wish to monitor.

Hardwired Roller Shutter / Garage Door Contact

This contact is designed to be placed on a Roller Shutter or Garage Door and is environmentally sealed to protect the detection circuit from moisture and temperature variations common in such locations. Includes alloy cable protection and junction box.

As the name suggests, this detector reacts to the sound of shattering glass. The great advantage this detector offers is to protect multiple windows in a room with a single detector. However, should an intruder enter without breaking the glass - the system will not activate.

Hard Wired Break Glass Detector

As the name suggests, this detector reacts to the sound of shattering glass. The great advantage this detector offers is to protect multiple windows in a room with a single detector. Breaking glass is in the majority of cases one of the first detectable indicators of an attempted intrusion However, should an intruder enter without breaking the glass - the system will not activate.

Add fire detection to your system to protect your life as well as your property! I cannot emphasise how important this type of detector is. Note - this detector does not operate on heat alone. Heat detection is designed to increase the sensitivity of the smoke detector.

Hard Wired Combined Smoke Heat Detector

Nearly identical to the wireless smoke detector above - but in this case it is the hardwired version.

Please note the wireless smoke detector has an integral sounder but the hard wired version does not relying on the security systems sounder. We can install an optional sounder in the detector for added protection if required.

Wireless Low Temperature Detector

Every year, thousands of properties suffer water damage from pipes that have split when frozen in winter. The low temperature detector can instantly notify you of a drop to below 2C and even reactivate heating (depending on what equipment is fitted).

Speech & Text Dialler

Speech/Text Diallers can send recorded voice or text messages to a maximum of 10 different telephone numbers in the event of an alarm activation, fire, panic, low temperature or other event. Requires an output board (see control above) to operate individual messages. If you only want a single message transmitted regardless of the event then no outboard board will be needed.

Central Monitoring

GSM Alarm Communications Module

Protect your systems communications from cut, damaged or out-of-order telephone lines.

The GSM module can provide all your communications needs, however is primarily designed to back-up land line communications. Requires a SIM card and mobile subscription - please contact us for further details.

** NEW - limited stock availability! ** TL150 IP Communicator & Web Browser

The TL150 provides two features - an IP communication system for monitoring and a web browser to allow you to use the system from a computer. Using your PC, PDA or Mobile Phone you can connect to the alarm, check status on zones and operate the system. *The TL150 is presently Exclusive to C.S. Solutions*

Audio Verification Module

For clients that have central monitoring of alarm activations the audio verification module is a superb way of reducing false activations whilst at the same time scaring off any would be intruders. Speakers and microphones (see below) are located within your premises, and in the event of an activation the monitoring station can listen to activity from your property and challenge anyone to confirm their identity or leave.

Consider this from the intruders perspective, they are in the process of breaking in to a property when a voice starts calling at them and announcing the police are on their way.

Speaker/Microphone Units for the Audio Verification Module

Each speaker/microphone is located in a strategic position to maximise microphone pick-up (so that operators can clearly hear activity) and allow anyone to hear challenges from the monitoring station staff.

Extra Live or Decoy Bell Boxes

Add more deterrent to your property with additional bell boxes. Give the impression outbuildings are protected (even if they are not!) with a decoy box. Or possibly have an extra sounder installed at the side or rear of your building.

X10

Add X10 Appliance/Lighting Control and Automation to your DSC Security System (requires Escort module above to be installed). Click on the picture to view some of the X10 products available.

Vibration Detector & Tilt Door/Window Detector - If we use the integral or optional contact etc, the separate zone identification will take up one zone from the system (i.e. one zone for the vibration/tilt detector and a second for the contact) - so a total of two zones can potentially get allocated to the one device.
