Where this kit fits in
The TXi-D v2 has replaced the TXi Plus and the first TXi-D at many UK shops. Delkim says the v2 adds multi-colour LEDs on each alarm head, a first for the brand.
How it actually works on the bank
From Delkim's listing: each alarm has vibration response and beep speed adjustment, a mute function, multi-colour LEDs with day and night modes, 32 tone settings, 8 LED brightness levels, a stealth mode, an anti-theft alert to the receiver and a low battery check. The receiver syncs to each alarm's colour, pairs with up to 12 alarms, has a quick torch function, a Do Not Disturb setting so heavy showers do not set it off, adjustable vibration and a battery monitor. The alarms take a 9V PP3 battery; Delkim advises against rechargeable batteries.
The full picture
The set contains three TXi-D v2 alarms, an Rx-D v2 receiver, three Safe-D carbon snag bars, three black alarm hard cases and a clear receiver case. Delkim's vibration response function controls how the alarm senses line movement and vibration.
What we like
- Vibration sensing with adjustable response
- Receiver pairs with up to 12 alarms
- Snag bars and hard cases included
- Rain (DND) mode on the receiver
What we don't
- About £580 for three rods: a big outlay
- 9V batteries, rechargeables not advised
- No IP rating in the sources we found
- No published range figure for the v2

Problems reported by long-term users, plus the practical fixes.
