jezf Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 I have self installed a Galaxy G3 with the following components: 4x PIR detectors (IS-215T) 4x Dual Tech detectors (DT-7550C) 6x Vibration detectors (Impaq Plus) 3x Smoke detectors (OH4W) 1x Personal Attack button 1x magnetic door contact 2x Remote keypads (both with keyprox) 1x internal sounder (sound bomb twin piezo) 1x external bell box, strobe and sounder 1x rio (regular) 1x 7ah battery All working fine, programmed, and is an excellent unit. Thanks to those members who helped me out. However, the metal panel does seem to be slightly warm above the area of the mains transformer. Is this normal based on the above components?

Hi jezf If your interpritation of slightly warm is the same as mine then it is normal. I would keep an eye on it to see if the temperature remains constant and if you are knowingly competant take a current reading to see if it is what is expected. There is always some heat loss from transformers even under no load conditions, if it, that is, the temperature gets to hot to touch then I would suggest getting it checked out by a pro. Best wishes Vince Practice in the morning, practice at night. Practice in the evening, until you get it right. Only make sure you are practising in the right way at the right time for it.

End station is not fitted in an airing cupboard / boiler room I hope Someone told me I was ignorant and apathetic, I don't know what that means, nor do I care.

Best wishes Vince it is not hot, just ever so slightly warm. i only mentioned it, as there is a distance of a couple cm between the steel casing and the transformer itself, so if the heat is travelling across that distance, i guess the transformer must be much hotter, which prompted me to post. unfortunately, although i wired it from an existing fused spur, i would not know how to take a reading. furthermore, i am not sure how many amps my components should be pulling through the panel. i listed all my components in the hope that someone more experienced could say, "well that amount of components may be overloading the panel without a smart rio" or not. End station is not fitted in an airing cupboard / boiler room I hope no panel is fitted in cloakroom, which as yet does not have anything stored in it!

Woosh Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 If you do a search on here there is a spreadsheet with most manafacturers equipment and the current demand you can then add them up. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buddyboy Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 it can be normal for the panel to get slightly warm, with all the devices you have got on it i would suggest you get a psu though. Trade Intruder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morgan306 Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 I would get a PSU aswell, spread the load out a bit. Don't forget to common your negatives up though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
