Anybody care to get in to a discussion about shocks?
I was hoping to use the Litton SP3237 with Ademco's 5819 but am not too
thrilled with the results.
I'm trying them on wood frame sliders and although there are response time
and count settings on the transmitter, I'm finding I can't use a setting
that satisfies BOTH windows. I've tried the tx and shock on the mullion (?,
left side of right hand window so I can stick a magnet on the left side
window (it opens as well). Even with both settings at least sensitive, it'll
go off if I thump the window with my hand. Sooooo, I move the apparatus to
the left side of the opening and frame mount it and there's an improvement
but adjusting for the right window makes the left one too sensitive....
vice-versa when I move to the right side of the opening. Now I'm thinking
two shocks, perhaps another magnet too. There'll be a lot of wire on a
wireless window and labour intensive to boot. I'm wondering if I've stumbled
on the reason when the friggin things are so little used... now I'm thinking
contacts and space area glass breaks...
How are you guys handling retrofit perimetre windows?
