breff Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 You have 2 zones in each keypad+ 8 in panel=12, just needs a 12 core to each keypad. The opinions I express are mine and are usually correct! (Except when I'm wrong)(which I'm not) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dobbin Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 Glen. I don't need an expander after all. Do I need the 12 core from the keypad to the control panel or the control panel to the device? What core cable do I need generally? By the way I got a good quote from Alert but a great quote from Safedirect. Dobbin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
breff Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 Either wire devices to the keypads in 8 core or wire them all to the control panel and join them at the control panel to a 12 core going to the keypad using 4 cores for the keypad and the other 8 to carry the 2 zones and tampers.

Guest Dobbin Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 Just working out where to place the sensors and I need some more advice. Can a sensor be placed in a south facing conservatory or will it get too hot and cause a malfunction (or false alarm)? If yes what sort of sensor would be best?

Dobbin 63332[/snapback] A dual tech detector is probably your best bet for a conservatory. That way, the temperature won't really affect it if it has been set up properly. You could also go with a few shock sensors on the window frames, but because there are so many possible points of intrusion in a conserv, volumetric (ie a dual tech) is probably your best bet.

breff Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 Make sure it also has a white light filter. The opinions I express are mine and are usually correct! (Except when I'm wrong)(which I'm not) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dobbin Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 I am planning on using the Texecom Mirage Dual Tech Sensor. I have checked the brochure on the Texecom website but I cannot see any reference to White Light Filter. Anyone know if this Sensor has a white light filter?
