Thanks Guys. I now have a fully protected garage

Thanks very much, I appreciate the help. I will get on with it now. Just as a query, what do you mean by a dt for a garage Craig

I am not an electrician, so I am confused what is meant by eol or dp. I can connect all the wires how I need to, with instructions. All the other pirs in the alarm system are connected individually, 6 core premier to pir, and no resistors or anything are fitted Thanks

None of the new pirs are wired yet. I know it is not ideal but I am protecting 2 doors in one room so which one trips is not a problem really. I am more concerned about preventing the garage being broken into. All the other pirs on the alarm system are individual, but I do not have 2 spare...

Hi I have 1 free zone on the Premier 48 panel, but I need 2 Pirs fitting in my garage to this spare zone. Is this possible, and could you provide me with an idiot proof guide as to what to do. Thanks Craig Lawrance

Hi I am looking to build an attached garage at the side of my house, but cannot find antbody who sells concrete panels (pebbledashed) only. Does anybody know of anywhere Thanks

Hi. I am thinking of building a new garage adjoining the house. It is on a very narrow drive and will be built right on the boundary with my neighbours drive. I am intending to build it with concrete panels similar to those popularly known as grimstone. A) Will I need planning consent as...

As an add on, it seems to work but I haven't fully tried it out yet but it does appear to arm. All the zones show up as secure, which they didn't before

Hi. There were no resistors in any of the pirs or the door contacts. Should there be and if so am I going to have problems. The pirs are wired into the 2 alarm contacts, the 12v and 0v and the 2 tamper connections, The rled and fta are empty. Each pir (5 of them) and the 2 door contacts are...

Hi all. I used the original suggestion of 4 wires and I now have a fully working alarm system, thankyou all very much. Craig :D :D :D

Hi. Thanks very much, you are a star. Why the sparky only used 2 wires I don't know. I am going to wire it now and will let you know. Thanks again

Hi. This is how an electrician left it and said it was working. However he had not set up the zones or keypad etc. I have done all this but the system will not arm, and i have to sort it out myself. I have set up all the areas following the texecom manual but I am not 100% sure how to wire the...

Hi and thanks. But to a layman how do you do that. On the panel I have 2 alarm connecters and 2 tamper connectors. Please tell me which wires go to which on the panel and the door contacts.

Hi Europlex. Thanks for the reply, but forgive me for being thick, how should I wire the door contact, the wiring to the panel and link out the tamper circuits

Hi. I have just installed a Texecom alarm system, but when I try to arm it, I get the message Zone 1 & 2 are tampered. I have set these zones as exit/entry 1 & 2. These are the door contacts. All the other zones are secure. Have I wired the door contacts wrong. I have used the blue and yellow...
