Hi All,

Apologies if my first post isn't particularly inspiring! - I've got a quick question on alarm wiring:

Q: Is there a standard colour coding for wiring PIR's and the like?

I realise that there are some obvious choices (e.g. red & black for the +/-VE power) and there are various options with respect to the number of conductors - I'm using 6 core - but I just wondered if there was a "best practice" or is it up to the installer?

take your pick matey.......

Every engineer will have their own colour code...Only thing is it has to match at both ends...so as mr happy said...take your pick,also you would normally use one core for one connection,so a 6 core would be ample for a pir

Thanks guys - much appreciated!
