Hi all
Will be fitting an alarm at home (Texecom Premier Elite 24 Metal) and wanted to know what was best to use for the daisy chain of the tamper loop. Is there anything better/neater then a strip of connector blocks?
Thanks
have you wired the system yet? the modern way is not to have a daisy chain of tamper loops, zones can be wired EOL now, read the supplied instructions for more details
At present 6-core has just been run to each room where PIR/Door contact is needed, along with 2 for SAB
in that case connect EOL, no need for a global tamper loop
Thanks
How does EOL work?
I've fitted a veritas r8 before, and has been a while
page 31 of the installation manual supplied with the panel, also its explained in the 'Alarm Sticky' at the top of this group.
Thanks, I'll get some resistors on order.
Is using EOL better?
resistors come supplied with a new panel or a resistance is selectable via jumpers directly in the PIR's (dependant on PIR's bought)
Advantage of EOL, uses less cores (2 to a contact, only 4 for a PIR), easier to fault find in the event of a fault on the tamper loop, and a tamper loop fault wont stop you setting the system, which with a global tamper fault would be a problem, also neater in the panel.
