sparcktikus Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Hi all I know its not recommended but i need to double up 2 pir's onto 1 zone, no more zones in panel and these two sensors are literally back to back pointing either way of long corridor. The panel is accord xpc and activ8 pir's, using double end of line resistor circuitry for zones Is this possible to double up ? if so hows it wired thanks Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/33223-ademco-accord-xpc-2-x-pir-on-1-zone/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixwheeledbeast Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Upgrade the panel to a bigger one IMO Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/33223-ademco-accord-xpc-2-x-pir-on-1-zone/#findComment-287183 Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparcktikus Posted August 2, 2012 Author Share Posted August 2, 2012 think thats a bit overkill just for 1 additional zone ..

norman Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Yes your are right just crack on and double up, better still wire them in parallel to reduce fa's Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.

PeterJames Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 You may think its over kill but when you have a fa on that zone are you gonna replace both detectors. IIRC the XPC has a 9th zone on the RKP have you used that?

sparcktikus Posted August 2, 2012 Author Share Posted August 2, 2012 not interested whether its morally correct or incorrect or not the done thing. i just know how i would like my system to work and would like to know whether anyone can help achieve this with some helpful info, cos thats what forums are made for.. just want to use two pirs on one double end of line zone, ademco uses 2 x 1k resistors by the way. Can i achieve this? my ultimate goal. thanks Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/33223-ademco-accord-xpc-2-x-pir-on-1-zone/#findComment-287197 Share on other sites More sharing options...
james.wilson Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Its possible to make it work but it is really a bad idea. Its not a simple diagram either. But if your sure ill know up a diagram later securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.

sixwheeledbeast Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 not interested whether its morally correct or incorrect or not the done thing. Sorry to be harsh but why should we be interested. You have been told how to do it, politely and helpfully. Your best option is to use the keypad zone if available.
