tom25 Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 Hi,This might seen a very stupid question but here i go, I have been looking at install manuals found on the internet for the securit 800l and i have noticed on wiring diagrams that it has only 1 AUX Poweroutlet to all the detectors how can i then power all the detectors etc with only one aux outlet of + and - ? Sorry it must seen an extremely simple question to you Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antinode Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 Hi, You connect all the positive wires from your detectors together and wire them to the + terminal and all the negatives go together in the - terminal. Trade Member Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom25 Posted May 31, 2006 Author Share Posted May 31, 2006 so loads of wires should go into one + and one - terminal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Service Engineer Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 Alternatly place all the detector power cables into a terminal block, and then from the terminal to the AUX terminals using just 1 or 2 cores. ........................................................

antinode Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 so loads of wires should go into one + and one - terminal? That's not really how it works. If you count up how many powered detectors are on your system (a powered detector could be a PIR, or a shock sensor, or anything with an LED indicator on it). Each one of these devices would require a power supply, from the AUX terminals. You join the positives from each powered detector to the + terminal in parallel. You do the same for the - supply. If you don't understand this, you should consider getting in a pro to have a look for you! Not trying to be condescending, merely trying to stop you blowing anything up!!!

tom25 Posted May 31, 2006 Author Share Posted May 31, 2006 ah ok get it now, thanks, have you got a picture of a terminal block which has been wired into an alarm system, so that i can fully understand? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
