Hi Mark, You'll be fine. Ok, I understand why you've gone for the Activ8's fair enough. Any device with alarm and tamper loops can be converted to EOL, as I understand it the panel should come with 16 1K resistors. like this except I have NO idea why they've soldered it, just use the terminals! I know nothing about the flex so someone else will be along shortly to explain which expander(s) you need. You can do the same for the contact as above BUT I recommend you spend an extra £6 and buy an EOL contact with them built in, trust me doing it with resistors (unless you have the kind of contact with proper terminals rather than screw heads) is asking for trouble later! Going back to the bell you'll need to add up the current consumption of all the PIRS (will be in the manuals) and the two bells in standby. Then add the current for both of them sounding, compare it with available panel current (so a 1A panel will NOT have 1A available) etc... Have a look at the very recent thread started by zerozero (skip to the last couple of posts) for a better explanation! EDIT - as above but I don't know the panel, but suspect it will be too much as standard...

Screech of brakes on unbridled criticism..... (joke) OK Mark all sounds reasonable, you'll need an expander as James said, its a shame you didn't ask before you bought as although SW are a great place to buy I would personally have bought from their extensive range of PIRs with EOL built in, such as Siemens, ditto for the contacts unless they are already EOL type, i.e. Knight or Elmdene with built in 1k/1k resistors. I'm not that familiar with the flex but be careful with the bells re: current draw; what I've done in the past is had one bell on SAB mode and the other on SCB, assuming the AG6 supports this; if it does it will be very clear on the instructions. Hope this helps!

I'm sure last time I asked I had a direct account too. Looks like online ordering is out the question

U got one in stock?

Bump.... Had this today, was convinced before I even saw this thread or the gates it would be the sensors but turned out the relay board. Basically if you tapped the relay(s), whichever had the sticky coil would move and all would be fine! However, Oxo mentioned the hooj capacitors so wondered if anyone else had experience? @ PSE where can I get a new ZA4 board for £45? Did have a direct CAME account once, was there where it was that price?

BS approved Bell transformer is exempt AFAIK, if wired direct to 5A or 6A? Might be making that up

We did an alarm in a shop that had been a jewellers in the 1970s and then an estate agents ever since. Unbelievably, the stairs to the 2nd and 3rd floors were lightly boarded up and had never been visited in years! Sadly nothing of value but a nearly fully kitted 1960s workshop complete with Bakelite Lucas batteries to run some sort of electric brazing iron and a retro stock room with period packaging etc... Sadly before the days of camera phones.

Found a coin (US dime) unde the floor which the householder was happy for me to keep. Later sold it for $400 on ebay US (rare mark) Same street years later (last year in fact) found a large grotty envelope underfloor marked '2004 - £15,000 cash'... Have you seen my new motorbike? Not really, obviously I gave it to the customer - who then confessed he'd forgotten it was there!!
