Dear Friends,

My current alarm panel is over 20 years old and I have decided enough is enough

I have decided to go for a veritas R8.

The panel is located in the hallway about 3 meters from the front entry, shoulder height in clear view.

Since relocation will cost alot more instead I wish to mount the R8 main box high enough so that a ladder is needed

MY QUESTION:

To do this I would need to extended some wires to reach the raised box, how would I go about hiding the Terminal blocks

which are at shoulder level?

Is there a smaller alternative to using terminal blocks?

Thanks is advance!

Not wishing to put you off upgrading, but I'd be inclined to start again.

New panel, detectors & wiring (as you wish to resite the panel). Additional cost would be minimal - click the sponsor link above for prices.

If you must do junctions I'd solder joint & heatshrink sleaving.
