Yes

I just couldn't get it from OP's diagram. Seems to be making things more confusing than need be.

resistors 1k & 3k ?

 

tamper & alarm relay closed, circuit reads 4k

 

alarm relay opens, circuit goes 100k> & alarm goes into tamper...

But remember we are alarm engineers and that is basic diagrams to us.

If you say so

1k across the A + A. 1K across A + T. 1 Core in 1st A. Second Core in Unused T. 

Thanks I'm starting the understand things now.

I like your explanation it's so simple even I understand it.

Yeah that diagram was what I got sent by someone which confused me as it contradicted everything I'd been reading.

Don't worry I am still confused to this day , but hanging around here keeps my mind boggled proper and helps plenty

Although the manual does recommend Cat5 cable.

 

Are you sure? I'd be amazed.

 

It may mention screened cable for keypads and nodes, but this is still flexible type.

Ah yeah I think I read it wrong its in the Peripheral devices section.

 

Ah that's a new one, I'm not big on Galaxy/Honeywell, but IIRC they used to recommend screened Belden cable, again only for long-run peripherals.

In fact, using any solid core wiring FOR ALARMS (OBVIOUSLY) is a really bad idea IMHO, from an installer 'boots on the ground' PoV.

I agree with above all too easy for the stuff to snap and create faults especially if it's been in a while.
