charlie6 Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 No one mentioned latching doors, and agreed "..Good advice is one cable, one device per zone..." However, if you read my post again, the intention is to get away from the 'easy route' in order to resolve a very basic problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norman Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 His new property needs, so I guess he's fitting from scratch. Advising to latch detection is poor advice. Quote Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie6 Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 "...Advising to latch detection is poor advice..." Why ? We can now use six core everyone, because the latching facility on a pir is bad... is that what you're saying ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james.wilson Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 It's certainly not best practice. Definitely go for a bigger panel.

al-yeti Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 The current panel I think is a basic Texacom (?) There are NO magnetics on any of the external doors, just a few internal PIRs. I might consider glass break etc, and possibly the speech dialler at a later date, this is why I'm considering a higher specification panel so I can extent/upgrade in the future.... Whilst I'm no expert installer I just want to be sure that I can set-up a Galaxy panel in the typical residential configuration (doors and PIR's only) thanks Read up on eol wiring , and perhaps get a galaxy g2-20 with cp38 prox keypad, as said above cheap to buy and will give you more upgrade options if you decide you need to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldguy Posted August 26, 2015 Author Share Posted August 26, 2015 The house isn't a mansion, and yes 1 zone per device. Why magnetic on all doors......so i can have chime function on each door, so I can't therefore have PIR on same zone as any door, hence I need 10 zones : Z1 - Kitchen entry door and Front entry door (main panel in kitchen cupboard and remote keypad adjacent to kitchen door) Z2 - Kitchen PIR (walk thro entry exit) Z3 - Garage Door and Sliding patio doors in dining room Z4 - Living room patio doors Z5 - reception room PIR Z6 - Living room PIR Z7 - Dining room PIR Z8 - Top of stairs PIR Z9 - Conservatory PIR (maybe) Z10 - Conservatory doors Additional remote keypad in small porch next to front door entry. I'm open to any panel thats easy for a DIYer to install that give me enough zones thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norman Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Hi, have a look at the texecom range, good features and more importantly good support. Quote Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixwheeledbeast Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 24 Poly use keypad zones? You need to split or drop a contact from zone 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
