Burglar Alarm Positions

[r.b]

Its common sense to put all sensors downstairs isnt it otherwise they would go off if you put them upstairs.As far as window contacts yes downstairs, suppose you could do upstairs on the whole its a downstairs job I suppose?

Are you asking or making a statement? My opinion is you cover all access points, whether you use contacts or pirs it's upto customer and installer, most access points will be downstairs obviously but there are occasions when for example an attached garage gives easy access to upstairs windows so this should be covered too, maybe an adjoined roof gives access upstairs, some terraced property's have open or partially open roof voids so in that case the loft access point should be monitored too. Also if you are covering upstairs you would need to consider how nighttime alarm setting can be maintained whilst allowing people to walk around for toilet use and the like without triggering the alarm, common sense stuff really

The word missing in this thread is "zones" isn't it? It's quite common to separate upstairs and down as betty says for night time. Think about easily accessible panics too.

Its all to do with zones R.B  

You could do upstairs on another zone , omit it when the house is occupied and activate it when it's unoccupied.

 

[Robin Spark]

This is where full set and part set programming comes into play as I think having to manually omit a zone each day would be pain, therefore easy option would be to have the  " Full set " option to include all zones when no occupants are in the building and then have a "part set" option which would be programmed to automatically omit lets say any upstairs pir's ie on the landing.
