Probably should check before buying! I will ring texecom tomorrow and let you know if there is a solution . FYI @sixwheeledbeastPicture attached of the new impaq terminal layout,. one device per zone.... Quote Mr Veritas God Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james.wilson Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 As above it should be one sensor per input. The old old regs allowed 10 per circuit if latching but that was a hangover from the 70s. I'm a big believer of if you can get a wire to it you should but 10 devices on a wire is worse. If you can't use some form of Id then I'd suggest wireless is better in this case. You could use addressable with hkc and keep the single sensor per point etc Quote securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.

And use wires for something else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparks75 Posted October 5, 2020 Author Share Posted October 5, 2020 Thanks for your help everyone. As mentioned above its only one unit per zone and no way around it. Going to buy Impaq E as it’s the simplest solution. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparks75 Posted October 9, 2020 Author Share Posted October 9, 2020 I had a reply form another forum which resolved my problem without having to change the sensors. I have attached a picture in the hope it might help someone else out. This configuration will not adhere to a graded alarm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixwheeledbeast Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Never mind graded, I wouldn't recommend it at all! These thresholds are there to reduce false alarms not to abuse with more devices. Also if that theory is correct you will have to use strictly 4 devices, as 1 or 2 devices certainly wouldn't go Active when required. Add to that' no tamper or fault detection on anything beyond the first device and it's not an option that's fit for purpose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
