datadiffusion Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 (edited) In the last dying gasps of this Ex-WSM Gold (hmmm... who could that be??) they did this bells only as a G2X. Full paperwork not a homer or cash job etc... To be honest I'm now (possibly) changing the panel just over a year later so haven't thoroughly investigated this little setup; as its going to be changed for a DT and, hey, might just put a contact on at least one of the 2 external doors to the area. It's either wired as a 2 zones to get a confirm, or wouldn't be at all surprised if wired in series to cut down on FAs.... Remember the same brains behind it are still trading..... If we get the job I'll let you know how it was wired.

matthew.brough Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 It was allowed in a bygone day to have 2 detectors so close together. I remember seeing it at an install and I complained to SSAIB only to be told DD243:2002 allowed it but in the 2004 version onwards it isn't. www.securitywarehouse.co.uk/catalog/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
datadiffusion Posted September 28, 2013 Author Share Posted September 28, 2013 Yeah I have seen it in shops etc... This was 2012 though. The panel is just about still in warranty probably!

james.wilson Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 dont see a major issue as its 2x if in series. Not great if in parralel. Might have been done afterwards after a false alarm issue? securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.
