jonnyg2k5 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Hi, I had a water leak which came through the ceiling and destroyed my Menvia M12 4 in 1 detector. I sourced some Apollo Series 65 off a friend as replacement but I can seem to get them to work. The eurosec CPX alarm panel just reports fire zone 006 when i try and do anything on the keypad and the alarm sounds. Should these be compatible with my system? My wiring is as follows: red: +ve Black: -ve Yellow: Zone +ve Blue: Zone -ve Green and white: Earth/tamper the series 65 only seems to have L1, L1 out, L2, R-, and earth connections. It also has a diode between L1 and L1 out so not sure if I need this also? Any ideas on if this detecor will be compatable with my alarm and if so what is the correct way to wire it? Thanks!

james.wilson Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 No you need a 12v base with relay. That head and base is designed for a conventional fire panel securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.
