Wireless alarm system
Our wireless alarm system has given up  changed all the batteries inc the 6v 1.2ah in the bell box and nothing seems to be working, well the box doesn't.
Looking for a recommended decent replacement for less than £100, looking at the HSA6200 standard alarm from Yale ATM.
All we require is 2xPIR 2xWindow\door + keypad and external bell box all wireless. Dont need 24\7 monitoring or extra's but it would be nice to have expandability.

Coincidence.
I have just bought one of those to replace the old wired system I had. The kit has 2 PIR and 2 Door sensors, one siren and a dummy siren. I set it up yesterday on a table to learn all the sensors etc, I should hopefully be fitting it this afternoon. (I alsogot 2 extra PIRs and an extra door/window sensor)
It was very easy to set-up and has the added facility of up to 4 phone numbers that it will dial. need to remember to take my number off when I am out of the country. 
PS. The kit was £168.98 from B&Q although the price on the shelf was £199

I guess you are correct, I have just looked a the receipt. I think the extra PIR sensors I got were on the shelf marked £19.99 (Not 100% sure) but my receipt says £16.88, the window contact are priced £15.19 on the receipt.
They are odd amounts, so I guess it must be the discount.
I got to the checkout expecting to hand over a few pence short of £260 after adding it up in my hed, and it actually cost me £217.93

You'll have to let me know how it goes with that Escapee, we've got 20% discount vouchers for B&Q that run from 17th nov for 2 weeks so that's when we'll be making our purchase I reckon

I fitted it all except the outside alarm box and door sensors, unfortunately due to the spar on the outside wall I had no flat surface to mount it, so It's inside the house at present on the window sill. (There is a spring for the ant-tamper that needs to contact against a flat surface)
I fitted one PIRs in the Hall on entry delay circuit, Living room, Kitchen and Workshop, I will probably get another PIR for upstairs. I wired up the phone line and set my mobile as the number to dial, I was away last night and out at work today and there were no false alarms. (one of the reasons I have left fitting the outside alarm box until next weekend)
I am very happy with it and it was easy to fit. The onlt problem I had was one PIR didn't work because one battery was fitted the wrong way.
