sennajc Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 Hi there, I am in the process of installing a Texecom Premier 24 and using texecom PIRs. Have read lots about end-of-line resistors etc. but not sure of the benefits. I am planning to use 6 cores (have run 8 core cable) and wire direct back to terminal...is there a problem with that? Any support appreciated... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
breff Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 No problem at all as long as you know how to series up the tampers at the control panel. The opinions I express are mine and are usually correct! (Except when I'm wrong)(which I'm not) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sennajc Posted August 11, 2007 Author Share Posted August 11, 2007 No problem at all as long as you know how to series up the tampers at the control panel. Can't say I do...unfortunately! Having looked further, I am thinking of using only 4 wires for now (want to get up&running) power & alarm. I can come back and 'upgrade' in a few weeks! How bad is that?

Thanks...for now that's what I need...I have longer term plans to upgrade a number of areas - add dialler, add garage etc... I will study-up on tamper & resistors before then! Any recommended reading or websites for this? Thanks again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest anguscanplay Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 if your doing it 4wire its as easy as doing it 6wire - do it right from the start , just make a big loop ( like joining daisies ) from one tamper terminal through all the devices to the second tamper terminal in the c/u Angus ( it really is as simple as that ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tamper is one huge loop up and down every cable. And in case you wondered how to join all the tamper wires inside the control unit - use a "choc-bloc" terminal strip. Have a search round, there's quite a few posts on why EOL is better if you can do it. If I recall correctly the main reasons are: 1. You know which circuit has been tampered, so finding it is a lot easier. 2. The monitoring is much more specific. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have just noticed that on my PIRs (texecom) they have headers where I can select resistance values - across tamper and alarm. I can certainly set these easily. Is that all I need to do? thansk again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that all I need to do? thansk again... With a global tamper you would just terminate the 2 tamper cores on a spare/unused terminal in the device to make the circuit. There's usually some provided. I presume the resistance values relate to when using EOL, but someone else can comment on that as it's wired quite differently. (For a start I don't think you need the 2 separate tamper cores with EOL.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
