Guest Chewie Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 Is there a colour convention that installers use for the cable. I was thinking Red +13V, Black 0V, Blue and Green for the Switch and Yellow and White for the tamper. But if there is a conventinal colour code to follow, I may as well follow it.

FASTCAR Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 There is no set colour code , for obvious reasons . I would suggest using red + black as the power though , saves any blown fuses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I know each company uses its own color code. Makes sense to me since it´s harder to sabotage the alarm system when you can´t be sure how the cable colours are used. , Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
breff Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 Just as a little tip I would advise not using red, black ,blue or yellow as power. This enables all tamper and zone colours to be the same even with unpowered detectors. The opinions I express are mine and are usually correct!

Guest RICHL Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 I agree with Breff. And Monteey please dont mention piping Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
breff Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 Exactly Monteey, if you use green and white for power, you wont send 12v down to a contact run in 4 core.
