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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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

datadiffusion Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 (edited) 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.

sixwheeledbeast Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 I agree with above all too easy for the stuff to snap and create faults especially if it's been in a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
