Guest mike2004 Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 It was mentioned by Dave in reply to another post that pictures of DIY installations might be of interest to the site. I'm beginning the installation of an alarm system in my house which I'm currently renovating, and am installing a Texecom Premier 88 - having deliberated upon my choice recently following advice in this forum, that I was very grateful for http://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/foru...?showtopic=3508 Its the first time I've tried this, although I'm quite competent with wiring/DIY stuff (for example, I recently completed a total rewiring of the house). This picture shows where I plan to site the control panel - in the cellar. I've already put in a fused unswitched connection unit next to where I plan to put the panel. I've taken this off a separate circuit breaker in the consumer unit, which will be used solely for the alarm system. If it will be of interest, I'm happy to take further pictures as I go along.

Guest ALSEC Posted October 19, 2004 Share Posted October 19, 2004 Sorry to put a downer on this, but shouldn't you be using T&E to power the panel? Would definately like to see the progress pics though!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

norman Posted October 19, 2004 Share Posted October 19, 2004 T&E? 28088[/snapback] Twin and Earth, the common term for solid mains cable. T & E to power the panel.........No not if its connected to a fused spur with flex outlet. 28096[/snapback] Here here, I personally dislike seeing anything but flex inside the control. Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adi Posted October 19, 2004 Share Posted October 19, 2004 Second that, one of my pet hates seeing T&E connection to a spur, corner cutting in my book. 28107[/snapback] Third that, horses 4 courses. I really can't be ar**** with it anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
