Hi,
I have a system with only 3 sensors and an outside bellbox. I've managed to reolace the old sensors which were wired up with 6 leads 12ve power line Black- Red +, Alarm switch white & green, tamper blue & yellow. I fitted a nex Odyssey 3M bell box which is sort of working, the siren and strobe lights operate normally but when I connect the bellbox internal battery I can't set the alarm.( tamper light on panel flashes all the time, ok with internal batttery off) I thought it would be easier to get things right if I renew the control panel with a modern texecom veritas 8 panel. have downloaded the installation manual but don't understand the zone wiring. I want to wire each of my 3 sensors to a seperate zone. The rascal has the zones wired up as follows: zone 1 green & white, zone 2 white & green, zone 3 green & white, the remaining 2 zones have shunts across them. my question is do I wire up the vertas 8 in the same way and then parellel the positive supply + leads and connect them to AUX + and the 2 negative supply leads to AUX - ( in my case red & black). Please could somebody tell me where to connect the tamper blue & yellow leads?
My big worry is what i'm going to find when I remove the old rascal panel. I'm hoping to find four seperate cables which should lead to the sensors and the bellbox; then maybe I'll be able to sort out the bell box properly with a test meter.
As you have gathered I know next to nothing but would really like to succeed. Any advice would be very much appreciated.
Cheers,
