Guest anguscanplay Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 Yeah poor topic title.As has been previously said just power down the AUX side depends on the panel if it's got a fuse or not, 1 range of panels I know of doesn't but does have overload / short circuit protection - Scantronic. so from your list of 1 to 6 5 Disconnect the just the +ve aux supply to the PIR's you`ll still blow a fuse - better to disc all power Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hpotter Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 you`ll still blow a fuse - better to disc all power What fuse? (not that i'm suggesting Gopher 's way is best, personally I'd run the cables fit detector, power down panel after telling neighbours then connect n sod the noise, If I was DIY) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arfur mo Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 HHmmm. OK. Apologies. Can I ask the following question: If a professional installer is called to add an additional PIR to an existing system, would he/she do the following: 1. Put panel in service mode 2. Remove mains power 3. Open the panel 4. Leave the battery connected 5. Connect the additional wiring 6. Close up, restore mains and test Ken hmmm!, 20 year old kit installed by a diy installer, most likely (with respect) even unregistered like me installer would advise best to upgrade with modern kit to modern standards. regs alan If you think education is difficult, try being stupid!!!!

Guest anguscanplay Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 I have bought a new panel (with remote keypad), a siren (ext bell), sounder, several PIRs and a drum of 6-wire cable. He`s already got that far ............ but I second Mr Potter - forget the neighbours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
