Ness D8

[constructivearp]

Hi All,

we're moving soon and i want to re=configure my alarm for the new property.


I'll be installing an external wireless reed on the front gate, i want to set this up to chime when opened. I also want it to trigger an alarm in home and away mode. The chime mode confuses me. Because if for example its on zone 6, it beeps 6 LONG times, like 4 times.

I just want a simple few beeps to notify me


I'm also having issues with my wireless reeds showing open/closed status. I'm using the micro wireless reed switches and the Ness Navigator D8X Version 7.4


no matter HOW i program them, they will not show the open closed status of the switch.

any ideas?

Wouldn't an entry delay be more appropriate? How do you plan to come in via the gate without setting off your alarm? Also, how are you going to weatherproof it? I could be mistaken but I don't believe Ness (or anyone I can think of for that matter) make an external wireless reed transmitter.

The front gate will be on area 2 with a keyfob.

The front door reed will be on a normal entry delay.


I'm mounting the transmitter for the reed in a weatherproof box and using a HD roller door reed switch.
