virdi Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Wiring a PIR to a Scantronic 9651 I understand that every PIR (for example) needs 6 wires 2 - For Power 2 - For Tamper 2 - For the Sensor / Switch .....now I understand what to do with the tamper and power wires when they come back to the panel. What I'm not sure is - How do I wire the Switch/Sensor wires to the panel. As - looking at the panel - there are 3 screw holes for 2 zones? (CCT1 and CCT2) I would have thought that each sesnor or contact would have it's own 2 screw holes or zone? I know I'm missing something here - lol So if someone could just explain how I wire these cables that would be great! Thanks!

Rulland Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 One wire from each zone goes in the middle terminal-other from zone 1 goes to LH, other from zone 2 goes RH or in this case Z1 and Z2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
virdi Posted February 11, 2009 Author Share Posted February 11, 2009 and here is the panel showing the CCT1 and CCT etc... One wire from each zone goes in the middle terminal-other from zone 1 goes to LH, other from zone 2 goes RH ok cool . But which wire goes in the middle? - or can it be any one - As long as I do the same for all the sensors and contacts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rulland Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Any zone works on resistance-that don't change whichever way you swap the wires around-so it don't matter. Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
virdi Posted February 11, 2009 Author Share Posted February 11, 2009 ok - I think I get that Would it be the same for door contacts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rulland Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Yep-just try to standardise what colours you use,tends to make it easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hpotter Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Any other tips! Yes. Use the resistors that came with the panel. Bypassing your system the way you are wiring it is a doddle. (look on amazon - more books on defeating an alarm than fitting one!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(look on amazon - more books on defeating an alarm than fitting one!) You mean FSL wiring? That seems even more complicated - lol Surely - any expert who is going to try and bypass an alarm knows FSL wiring as well?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Point I'm making is that kids at school learn enough basics to know a "loop". A pro knows to keep all wiring "within the protected area" for example whereas DIY, I've seen cables run up the fence to the garage on CC wiring & many other basic mistakes (but this is a public arena - so limited to explain). Using a fully supervised loop is not as easy to overcome. not by a long shot. AND, the parts are provided so why not fit them. Easier to cable, easier, quicker to connect, less wiring involved, so why not? (on a 9651 you can get 4 PIR's on a single 8core with FSL, youve only got 8 zones max!)
