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.

There is no set colour code , for obvious reasons . I would suggest using red + black as the power though , saves any blown fuses.

thats nearly the same colour code I use for installations. 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.

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.

I agree with Breff. And Monteey please dont mention piping

Exactly Monteey, if you use green and white for power, you wont send 12v down to a contact run in 4 core.
