Don't the new reg's stipulate parallel so the PA's are for certain, sort of confirmed!

So when you are being beaten by Mr Masked Man with a shotgun you have two press two PAs, i wonder how they would do the confirmed bit on PAs.

Can't possibly be right....can it?

What if you had say 6 tills with PA's, but only 2 with staff on........you gotta go round and press all 6 buttons???!!

If you don't know......ask.

Must of meant the Two-Push PA's.

I'm gonna get me some single push buttons for the house though I think, save 2 quid don't it!

Cheap Bas**ard I hear you all whisper.

Personally, I would use a panel with at least 16 zones, split the existing PA buttons and contacts onto their own zones and add PIR's to the kitchen and hall.

I may (don't know for sure without looking) scrap the contacts on windows and use PIR's in the rooms instead.

why do you wear glasses then.. :whistle:  ;)

No definately want to keep contacts, cats are kept in kitchen at night and its an easy access point for the criminals among us.

The PA's can be put as series on one zone, true enough it will be harder to fault find, but it's 3 devices on the circuit which is in a domestic property so it just means running a few metres to the panel every now and then if required.

I was thinking about adding a heavy duty contact on the shed, putting some cable ducts down in the garden coming up into the shed, but an engineer and me were talking and he said to be careful because the current may not be enough on a cheap panel on a scanny, but to be honest I think its only about 7 metres away from the panel so it should be fine.

By the way could anyone send me a quick diagram on a push to exit access control, if anyone haves one knocking around and a scanner, would like to use it as Field Evidence but left mine in a panel :-( alexgraham@mickydip.e7even.com

cheers Boys n Girls

Id definetly do as lurch as suggested and put pirs int the kitchen and hall, pet friendly ones.

As for your shed 7m wont be a problem, you could always add a wireless transmitter and receiver to the system.

I really can't be ar**** with it anymore.

Get a panel that you can have 1 device per zone, it will make life easier all round.

The opinions I express are mine and are usually correct!

(Except when I'm wrong)(which I'm not)

Am I missing something? I try to put one device, or two maximum, on all my installs. This is not the 1980's, after all, when all you can buy are eight zone panels. Most of my commercial panels have 8 zones, but my residential installs are all Napco GEM 3600s, up to 36 zones with keypads and zone expanders, and I'm in the middle of a GEM 9600, up to 96 zones (we are using 46 zones). It adds maybe an extra $200 to the cost of materials, and another 3 hours to the labor side, and it saves you lots of time on service calls.

Is it different on your side of the pond?

Just as a mater of interest Ari do you some times fit two PIR's to the same circuit without latching LED's?.

You've lost me? You mean you don't usually use anything more than 8 zone panels no matter how many devices?

That is not what he said.did he??

He said that unlike in the 1980's when there were only 8-zone panels..........

I'm not sure, I think he said he uses 8 zone panels and also said he doesn't? :huh: I'll await clarification from the man himself before venturing into a complex reply!
