For my premier elite 24 plastic, I have also purchased a texecom USB-Com cable. Could I leave it plugged in when the panel is closed? i.e. route the cable from the back. That way I can easily connect it to my laptop without having to open the panel. This is in a domestic home, so I think it's unlikely a potential intruder would tamper with it. Would this be possible, and if it is is it a bad idea?

Thanks for your replies, i'm getting that it's a bad idea so I won't do that. The room is a garden office. The internal sounder idea is an afterthought, I figured that it would make it undesirable for a potential intruder to stick around if there's an internal sounder. I don't have the option of running any new cable to it, however I do have some CAT6 solid core cables also going to the room, could I use one of those for the sounder? Or is that still a bad idea? Mine is a plastic panel so it would be grade 2 at best, but i'm not a professional installer so I don't think grading counts for much. That said I would like to keep it as close to best practice/standards (despite my initial post!)

Noted it being not best practice, but presumably the approach I said would work? i.e. parallel power wires, then use the spare cables for the sounder. This is the one I was looking at: http://www.cqr.co.uk/m-sounders/piccolo-2/

Hi, I have a Texecom Premier Elite 24 which i'm just about to install. I've prewired my house with 8 core alarm cable. There's a room where I will be having a Texecom RKP and a PIR, so i've got 2 cables already in there. However i'm now thinking it would be a good idea to have an internal sounder in this room. The internal sounders i've looked at appear to have 5 connections, my PIR will be using 4 cores (FSL wiring). Is there any way I can "piggy back" off the PIR wiring for the sounder or is it a non-starter? I think I should be able to use the power wires in parallel to the sounder, then use the remaining cores. I'd be grateful for your help.
