Master blaster alarm

What is the best way to trigger these alarms please? I don’t want them going off all the time.

I have mine wired up to a PIR inside the doors of my grain store & it just needed a bit of time to adjust the sensitivity & angle of sight so it didn't go off as the sun went into cloud cover & back into clear skies, the doors are south facing. Now I very very rarely get false alarms. They are very loud & distinctive & I can hear it from outside the farm house which is 1/2 mile as the crow flies away from the grain store. It turns itself off after a minute or so if there is nothing to reactivate it again.

Wire in beams or 2 pirs togther

Get a decent basic alarm system such as a Honeywell Galaxy Flex system - preferably with a GSM card so you get a text message if the alarm triggers.

Use decent quality dual tech PIR units that have both PIR & microwave detectors as these are far less prone to false triggering. If you want door contacts then buy good quality ones, otherwise you will get no end of false alarms.

I have wired in a secret switch which cuts the power from the 2 PIRs to the Siren, so PIRs are set to activate at all times but I can turn the noise off or on when I want to. Equally you could put a timer in the circuit

What do you mean by this please?

Worth looking at Ajax alarm systems, heard they are really configurable, and all controlled by your phone. Also easy to setup.

Beams as in if they get broken the alarm goes off.

x 2 PIR as in wire two in together so they both have to be activated to trigger the alarm, cuts out false alarms from a bird flying about
