FBI XL 2T Disarm/arm remotely

Jul 30, 2007 17 Replies

Hi Alarm Guru,



I have just recently diyed an FBI xl 2t alarm for my house. Every thing is working fine, except that I cannot disarm / arm remotely in the event that it is triggers the alarm when lightning strike or kids play foot ball at the back lane.



Any advice ? Thanks in advance for the help.



Note : The house is a terrace house and system not connected to central monitoring service.



How would disarming remotely help? --- "someone" somewhere will call you wherever and you'll remotely disarm it?

Just program a 4 minute bell time and forget trying to be fancy with an old alarm panel.

Yea, next time get a panel that allows remote control, that FBI panel is ancient and doesn't support that feature

May be with a StreetSmart remote keyfob ?

Thanks for the advice. Any suggestion / recommendation of the panel of the same features as xl 2t?

XL2T had features?

Huh?

What do you mean disarm remotely? With a handheld or from across the country?

Bob,

As no one is in the house during the daytime, I am working quite far away and in the event that the alarm is set off / triggered by lightning I need to disarm and then arm it again. I might have to try that a few times to ensure whether the alarm is malfunction / triggered by lightning.

At the moment the alarm will call my handphone if it is triggerd off.

To reiterate what I said before...just program 4 minute bell time. Why do you have to disarm it and arm it again?...it's not gonna disarm itself you know.

And what does your alarm say to you when it calls?

I don't quite think thats what he's looking for :)

It wasn't bad...for its time

Honeywell Vista-15P with 4286 voice module

GE Concord 4 with 60-777 phone interface

Honeywell LynxR-I

GE Simon 3

Thanks for the recommendation. Can I get the control panel and reuse the keypads ( FBII - no display type ) and all the magnetic , vibration and PIR sensors ?

Keypads will have to be changed. Switches and pir's are interchangable, you may have to change resistors. Vibration sensors? Really? What kind?
