andymac Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 Hi, i have to wire to panic buttons to one zone, i understand i have to wire them in series, is this correct? If so could someone explain exactly how to do this (stupid i know) a diagram would be a great help. Thanks in advance, Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buddyboy Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 its easier if you run a seperate cable to each pa button, wire both pa's as normal inside the buttons, then at the panel, (lets say you have used blue and yellow as your alarm pair) twist the blue from 1 pa with the yellow from the other pa and put it in some terminal block. then twist the other yellow and blue together and connect into the panel zone terminals. wire the tampers in the same way.

andymac Posted August 22, 2007 Author Share Posted August 22, 2007 pretty big, on the 816 i have 1 zone expander taking me 12 zones using the 4 wire method, did not fancy faffing around with resistors. and have a couple of fire detectors as well which eat away at my zones. i may have to ask a few more questions but tomorrow now as i connect the pro digi thingy!

Andy really is worth the " faffing around " to get the system working with EOL resistors , you sure its a prodigi ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andymac Posted August 22, 2007 Author Share Posted August 22, 2007 I know, EOL is more secure from what ive read, ive been installing this alarm part time for 4 months now, so maybe next year ill try eol, i just like messin around, but 4 wire was easier for beginners. yeah its a pro digi - see attached pic, any advice?
