Olly Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 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? , Ol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
