antinode Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 Nope, no Apex so my guess is the loft which brings me onto antoher question for you pro's.If the wire is in the loft, how would you bring it out to the bell box so that it is invisible, bearing in mind the alarm will be around 4 -6 bricks below the guttering? There are no barge boards, soffits or fascia boards here, just the guttering screwed to the wall directly. Tricks of the trade Invloves the use of a decent drill and some long drill bits.

kka Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 Nope, its an unused spur situated next to the wire bundle. good, test it, pop in a 3 amp fuse. mark it as such ( alarm 3 amp )..........get it certified (for the hip).. hook in a feed to your panel and away you go..(min 0.75mm cable, it use to be, not checked for any changes recently.. use 1.0mm t/e myself ) Kevin Scott.

rushal Posted May 10, 2008 Author Share Posted May 10, 2008 Angus I presume you mean are they really brand new and boxed, to which I reply 'Yes', jut old stock. I understand what you mean about the parts are never the most expensive bit, but when you consider I was looking at complete alarm kits from the likes of Argos, B&Q etc etc which none seemed to come with a seperate control panel, then I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are no barge boards, soffits or fascia boards here, just the guttering screwed to the wall directly. Hard to be specific without seeing the house but generally you would use a long 6-8mm masonary bit (600mm long), drill from outside at an angle calcualted to come out in the attic. Shove a load of six core through from outside, go in the attic and fish it out with a staightened out coat hanger (nearest available wardrobe). Carefully tape the exisitng alarm cable to your improvised draw wire then gently pull it through. It's dead easy, ask anybody who has done it for twenty odd years! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alarm Protection Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 You could alsod drill a small hole in th soffit and feed the cable trough there. ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james.wilson Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 but if you do that the sounder would have to be fitted up against it and the nova 6 has a hinged lid that needs clearance above. Also and its just my opinion bells look daft right up against the soffit. 2 courses down IMO unless the soffit is angled then more so that the bell isnt half obscured by the roof securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.
